They have a procedure in place that if Israel attacks the boat or captures the activist crew they'll immediately begin a hunger strike. Both to pressure their home governments into potential action and to avoid Israel being able to use food (and water) as a propaganda tool like they did with the Greta voyage.
That's good bc there is almost no chance they are being let to hit the shore
Someone died last time?
I phrased that badly I meant to say I hope no one dies, like no one died on the last trip
Oh, okay, I see. Yeah, negation is funny in English, usually it's less ambiguous to just use positive statements like "I hope everyone survives like last time."
No one died on the previous one. But back in 2010 there was a freedom flotilla like this and Israeli naval commandos boarded and murdered at least 10 unarmed people and wounded dozens more. So it's a very real threat.
