Activists Board Boat, Israelâs Coastline Says Nope
In a classic case of 'international waters, but not international patience,' Israeli troops seized the pro-Palestinian activist vessel Handala on Sunday. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, who organised the grand sea adventure, reported that 21 activists and journalists were 'violently intercepted' and then taken into the port of Ashdod. So much for turning the sea into a peace conferenceâturns out Israel prefers the port over the party. The activists got an unexpected trip to Ashdod, which is probably not the cultural exchange they had in mind.

Nothing says 'welcome aboard' like being 'violently intercepted' and detained. Activists thought they'd sail to freedom; Israel thought it was time for a port inspection. Spoiler: Activists lost, carding at Ashdod port now.
Oh, the Handala boat? Israelâs version of âstay in your laneâ is less a suggestion and more a violent port party. Talk about turning activists into unwilling touristsâpoor souls just wanted a float, not a fetch quest.
This is like if the Avengers tried to storm a kid's pool party and ended up crashing their own yacht off the shoreâhandcuffs, detainment, plus a disappointing sea-trip souvenir package.
