Italy is sending a ship to accompany the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, who said its activists remain shaken but determined following an Israeli attack on Wednesday morning.

Organisers of expedition, which is attempting to carry aid to the Gaza Strip, shared footage this morning appears to show an explosion that detonated on one of the flotilla’s vessels.

Late on Tuesday activists heard explosions and saw drones that targeted some of their boats, currently situated off Greece. “Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed and explosions heard from a number of boats,” the Global Sumud Flotilla said.

“I have authorised the immediate intervention of the Navy’s frigate Fasan, which was sailing north of Crete and is heading towards the area,” Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement.

    No it literally was “they say this”. Reread the comment, I’m describing why China is the way it is (revisionist, right-leaning, averse to risks, averse to internationalism). It’s due to their history of doing the opposite and getting punished for it.

      As-written, no it isn’t. If that’s what you meant, sure, I believe you, but as-written your phrasing states directly that they were “too gung-ho in their socialism” and the rest of the comment doesn’t reframe that statement to be “in their minds,” but is posed as a fact that has provoked them to react a certain way.

        You are the worst poster on this website. The context of the comment was me criticizing China for being revisionist and non-interventionist! Why would you think then that I agree that they are “too socialist”? Are you really this inept at understanding and parsing information? You just have debate-brain and want to do gotchas with out of context clipping of my comments

          That is true.

          Why would you think then that I agree that they are “too socialist”?

          Were too socialist. You do clearly say that their modern position is an over-correction. You nonetheless did say they were “too socialist.” As-written, you were ceding to their framing of the issue even if you still criticized their response to it.

          Idk, maybe you just didn’t express that part of your comment the way you intended. What motivation would I possibly have to be actively deceptive apropos of nothing? That doesn’t make any sense, I don’t have anything against you, despite the name-calling and such that you continue to direct at me.
