Attacking foreign-flagged ships in international waters is not "defending" yourself; it is an act of war and such foreign-flagged ships in international waters, when attacked, can reasonably be expected to defend themselves

ZIONISM IS BULLSHIT

[sherbertmastodon]

@PurushaDesa No, it doesn't, and I wasn't implying that, just that children always get exposed to their parents beliefs, like religion, morals, etc, as well as any politics they may be involved in. At the end of the day, once you reach adulthood, you can think for yourself, or parrot what you were taught. Your example there is an extreme one, but valid, you are right.

@007calidude It's funny, you actually make it sound like states and their armed forces have the right to board private boats without prior permission from the crew. Yes, the soldiers were attacked, but that isn't the point, the point is they should not have been there in the first place. You are probably right though, nobody is going to jail for this, instead, Israeli settlers will just have to suffer an even more pissed off Palestinian population, it's their loss in the long run.

@sherbertmastodon

Yeah but that doesn't make it acceptable. You were implying that if Jewish supremacists can propagandise in faith schools, having children be a mouthpiece for Palestinian grievances they won't understand is a worthwhile counterbalance. I just finished watching a Newsnight piece where toddlers are chanting to the wondrousness of The Great Leader. This kind of 'education' is corrosive to a child's critical thinking skills. They're simply copying the politics of authority figures.

@PurushaDesa I didn't assume that, but it happens on all sides anyway, kids are subjected to *life* every day.

@detectivebrucewayne All the ships were WELL aware that they would be boarded.. They were all communicated with numerous times... stop fooling yourself... If you and five others resisted, beating wildly, knifing as you had a chance, I wouldn't support you in a court of law if they shot you and I was on a Jury.. No crime charges will be brought. Its all very clear in the videos.

@sherbertmastodon

Given the comment I just made, why would you think I'd be okay with that?

[sherbertmastodon]

@PurushaDesa Well, Israel teaches kids Zionism in school, have you seen Defamation?

[detectivebrucewayne]

@007calidude If you storm a foreign vessel on international waters you can expect to be attacked. No excuses. If someone jumped on my ship uninvited I wouldn't have to think twice about giving them a good kicking.

I'm uncomfortable about children that young being there. They didn't look old enough to make an informed opinion on the Israel/Palestine conflict. Children that age are just gonna be mimicking the politics of their elders.
