There's been one for the last 17 years at least, alongside a land and air blockade.
It's not called the world's largest concentration camp for nothing.

The are also arguably less safe and have spawned bigger terror threats after their recent armed conflicts

A lot of young Israeli soldiers seem to be getting killed too. It’s sad for these soldiers who are doing what their Government expects of them. Most of their lives were in front of them. Shocking on all sides.

I think the Israeli government has done more in the past 2 weeks to fuel anti-Semitism than the rest of the world has managed in the last 100 years.
Everyone supported their right to defend themselves and even perhaps to simply retaliate. But this has gone far, far beyond that and IMO is now doing long term damage to the Jews' relations with the rest of the world.

Shows how well informed I am ;-)
Anyway, yes, we should be ignoring it and sinking any Israeli boats that try to stop humanitarian support vessels. You cannot cut off electricity to hospitals (for example) and try to justify this in any way whatsoever.

Somewhat hyperbolic considering the last 100 years includes the 1930s.

For fucks sake there are some snowflakes in this world - most of whom fling the word snowflake about as an insult with gay abandon. This is an XMAS ad - work probably began writing the plot and script just after last XMAS. It will have been cast in spring/early summer and like all the best XMAS anthems probably shot in the height of summer. It may well have been shot before the plans for the 7th Oct attacks had been drawn up. M&S should just tell the moaning minnies to fuck off - they don't get to dictate everyone else's XMAS

If there's anyone sinking Israeli boats it won't be us doing it, and we won't be sending any humanitarian support vessels for the Palestinians anyway, although we'd send them for the Israelis along with a naval task force if things started to escalate.
We are complicit by commission and omission in the oppression of the Palestinians for decades.
The fact that the Israelis have never been serious about a two state solution is precisely because they have had the unconditional material, financial, diplomatic and political support of the West.
There is absolutely no pressure on the Israelis to act in a lawful or humanitarian way, in fact we are again justifying the slaughter of innocents because it is the Israelis who are doing the slaughtering.
How our policy makers think that this situation where the Israelis are right whatever they choose to say or do is sustainable, I'll never know.
All they have done is stoked up a conflict that will at some point ignite with unimaginable consequences.
