two nights in a row they keep bombing Greta. But it’s nothing compared to what they are doing to people of Gaza https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/flotilla-gaza-reports-second-drone-attack-boat-tunisian-port-2025-09-10/

    Imagine the world reaction if it was Iran targeting civilian boats 3000 km away. The bombing from the USA would have been already started.

    I wonder how they are going to spin this one. It was “a cigarette butt igniting things on the ship”. Then the video came out, they started claiming “there’s a video of people on the ship misfiring a flare that fell back”, and they never fucking show the video.

    I get so mad. I have my own two eyes and a wrinkled brain, and I get quite upset when people assume otherwise.

      They understand people with a brain won’t believe it. But lots of people will believe the lies, or ignore the truth.

    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:

    map

    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.

          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

          An Israeli plane landed in Tunisia shortly before the first attack, so they are already part of this.

        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.

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

        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.”

            Israel and Germany have various flavors of banning or removing the flag. It’s also a sort of “algo speak” stand-in given the colors matching the flag.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
