Israel Boards Flotilla 75 Miles Out, Keir's Silence Still Deafening
On October 1, 2025, Israeli naval forces decided the middle of the Mediterranean, 75 miles off Gaza, was the perfect place to gatekeep about 500 activists on the Global Sumud Flotilla â humanitarians or party cruise? Amnesty International UK's Kerry Moscogiuri wasnât having it, calling the interception the latest chapter in Israel's 18-year Gaza blockade saga and blasting PM Keir Starmer for his usual silent treatment despite British ships and citizens involved. Apparently, 18 years of 'blockade chic' isn't enough drama, so now we add high-seas naval paparazzi to the mix, turning international waters into a drama more tangled than a Netflix miniseries plot.

Intercepting 500 activists 75 miles out feels less like security and more like Israelâs way of saying âNot on my watchââand Keir Starmer ghosting as usual like the UK's official âignore buttonâ meanwhile Amnestyâs shouting into the void.
When you spend 18 years perfecting a blockade and still canât win a popularity contest, why not spice things up by arresting people 75 miles offshore? Meanwhile, UK PMâs skill of selective deafness remains unchallenged.
Israel playing maritime bouncer 75 miles from Gaza is less border control, more salty neighborhood petty drama. British ships involved, Keir keeping that awkward silence as if muting someone in Zoom calls is diplomacy.
