    Are we anywhere with proof or confirmation on who perpetrated the attacks?

    Personally I agree it’s pretty obvious that it was Israel, directly or indirectly. But still.

    Just look how far Tunisia is from Israel:

    That should spark an intercontinental diplomatic incident. Should.

      The first one Tunisia even denied there’s any attack and say the fire come from the vessel itself, which if you watch the video it’s obviously come from above and strike the vessel.

      So Tunisia might have something to do with the attack seeing they’re so suspiciously in denial.

        Recognizing it would mesn israel did an act of war. Tunisia don’t want to create a conflict and is too coward

        I suspect Tunisia is one of those countries that desperately tries to appear tough to their population. It’s a national embarrassment to have a foreign nation attack vessels in your water without you noticing.

          Support for palestine is one thing that you can’t mess with in tunisia since 99% of tunisisn are very anti israeli terrorism and anti occupation

        I don’t want to deny any claim that Tunisia government is shit but the flotilla has been reporting drones following them since they departed from Spain.

        https://imemc.org/article/israeli-drones-seen-above-flotilla-of-50-humanitarian-aid-ships-en-route-to-gaza/

        “The Sumud Flotilla set sail from Barcelona Spain on Tuesday, and already, on the second night of the week-long voyage, faced the buzzing of Israeli surveillance drones overhead. The flotilla is in international waters, and unannounced aerial surveillance drones are illegal under maritime law.”

        Or they’re just really really hoping they don’t get dragged into this.

          Then they would just say they’re “investigating” and wait for the story to disappear. The fact they are instantly declaring it fake news proves they are involved.

            or it is an additional layer, like: its fake news so we don’t have to investigate -> it can’t be denied anymore -> we investigate forever so we don’t get targeted by israel and the gang

      It was done by a drone, so it’s someone with at least 200€ and access to gas and some electricity.

          It doesn’t. That’s the point.

          I would like to blame Israel as much as the next guy, but these kinds of attacks are basically IEDs: anyone in their garage can build and deploy ome.

            But who else other than Israel has the motive to attack a humanitarian vessel? Not once but twice in two days and also has done the same to every single mission towards Gaza?

            There’s only way to spin it. Did Israel even deny it?? They didn’t because they want people to know it was them. It’s a scare tactic and that doesn’t work if it’s some random guy with a drone

              I don’t know, my car was keyed the other day. Like half of wildfires are malicious. Some people are assholes and want to damage shit, especially if it’s high profile and ends up in the news.

              Israel goes for missiles and kidnappings in international waters. Those are scary and illegal as fuck already. They don’t need to scare you with a small drone. They might have done it just for shits and giggles, but it’s just speculation.
