Israeli airstrike hits boat at Gaza port preparing to meet aid flotilla
An airstrike launched by the Israeli military has hit a boat that was moored in Gaza City. The vessel was preparing to meet other boats that were trying to sail through Israel's naval blockade of Gaza, locals say.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they hit "military targets belonging to the Hamas terror organization's naval force," as well as "underground terror infrastructure." On its official Twitter account, the IDF said it was done in response to a group of people breaking through the Israel-Gaza border and setting a military post on fire.
Gaza residents cited by Reuters said the boat that was set on fire by the Israeli attack was due to sail to meet a flotilla on its way to Gaza. A number of aid flotillas have attempted to breach the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza in recent years, but the vessels have been stopped, seized or turned back. In the most notorious case in 2010, Israeli commandos killed nine activists on board the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara.
The latest wave of protests along the Israel-Gaza border, which started on May 30, has already left at least 110 Palestinians dead and thousands injured, according to Gaza medics. Around 60 of the fatalities were the result of the crackdown on May 14, the day of the opening of the new US Embassy in Jerusalem, which Israel claims as its capital in defiance of international condemnation. The IDF regularly launches airstrikes into Gaza, each time saying the targets are "terrorists."

America, Canada, Australia and Britain (at least) are in the iron grip of a zionist conspiracy, that stifles any criticism of that illegal dangerous entity and its murderous actions. A failure to condemn the Gaza massacres reveals the true state of our western democracies. They care not how many or how Israel kills, whilst feigning outrage at any alleged Russian misdemeanour. In a process of which we are not even aware, our governments have been usurped, to follow not Christian principles but an internationally colluded, morally bankrupt zionist one. How are we to get our countries back to reflect what the majority feel about condemning the mass murder of unarmed people demonstrating against the injustice and the theft of their land?
