When I say kidnapped, I mean that Israel is, according to international law, currently abducting citizens of multiple countries including multiple elected representatives of European countries, Israel’s ‘allies’.

A lormer mign ranking Un foreign and Commonwealth Office official said in a post on X that Israel's interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla is "plainly illegal."
Craig Murray, who served as the British ambassador to Uzbekistan from 2002 to 2004, said that Israel did not have proper jurisdiction to intercept and detain members of the flotilla.
Murray also provides further legal analysis, claiming that Israel's actions are considered to be a genocide of the Palestinian people, and that Israel's blockade "is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide."
Murray also says that, due to the vessels being on international waters, Israel directly attacked the nations that had deployed the boats. "The Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas," Murray writes.

One of the few things that gets a similar reaction from me, which I've returned to multiple times in recent years, is this from Hannah Arendt in 1951. If looking for a positive takeaway—because when writing like this resonates, things are not positive—it confirms the historical analogy is fitting.

“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. ... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
