The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) has announced a new international effort to break Israel's blockade of Gaza, with ships sailing between European ports before a planned attempt to reach the besieged Palestinian territory in October.
The FFC said its latest mission would go ahead despite the violence and torture meted out to flotilla volunteers on previous attempts, including severe beatings, repeated tasering and sexual assault.
The coalition also accused Israel of blocking the entry of food, medicine and fuel into Gaza, saying the humanitarian situation required renewed international action.
“The Freedom Flotilla sails again because our governments continue to fail to uphold their obligations,” said Zohar Chamberlain Regev, a FFC steering committee member.
“At every port, we will carry the demand that Palestinians be free to live with dignity. In October, we intend to carry that demand and the solidarity of people around the world to Gaza’s shores,” Regev said

Not a failure, a failure is an unintended bad result for an good will actions

You realise good and bad are subjective right?

No. Killing innocent people is objectively bad, helping genocide is objectively bad, letting your citizens getting kidnapped by a settler colonial power is objectively bad

No? Sure as a society we have decided that certain things are bad and good to help with our own preservation and our morale values but again it's subjective. There's no scientific method to prove that something is good or bad, there's not an absolute good or bad.

This is so idiotic. With that logic, would it be subjective to describe the following actions as bad, devilish, and awful? I could go to your house, rape you and your entire family, then torture you, finally kill you, and desecrate your body

And those things didn't happen? Okay then how do you decide if something is good or bad.

Based on harm and suffering? So human emotions that you personally fell, influenced by how you've been taught and your morale values?
A Nazi would argue that the holocaust is a good thing cause his morale values he's been taught make him think that, so it's your morale vs someone else morales.
But again as a society we have agreed on on good and bad morales and the holocaust is probably one of the most horrible shit that we have done

Who knows, maybe this time they'll allow the flotilla to dock, then forcefully push people unto it and send them packing to Europe. It would fit this expulsion plan they seem to have.
