    This is false. The first ship they hijacked was claimed to not be israeli related but turned out to be owned by israeli businessman Rami Ungar

    The second ship with bio gas supposedly only went to Italy, but later came out that after the stop in Italy it had a transport to israel planned.

    I’m not going to to claim that every single ship was israeli. I have not looked into other vessel attacks since then. But at least the first big two that reached to news were in fact directly linked to israel despite initial claims that they weren’t.

        Actually came across it, here’s the supposed real reason:

        Ambrey assessed that the vessel was mistakenly targeted based on outdated publicly available information linking the vessel to the United Kingdom.

        “This appeared to be five months old but was still listed as UK-affiliated on a public maritime database,” the report said.

        Maybe they’re not only supporting Palestinians against israeli oppression but also the Ukranians against Russian Oppression. The unbeatable moral highground.

        In all seriousness, no idea. If I were to guess they have a green list and someone forgot to put them on. See my newer comment

          If its indistinguishable from random attacks to the victims and anyone else at sea the (internationally coordinated) response should be one appropriate to random attacks on sea vessels

            Right after the international response appropriate to israel committing genocide of course. That obviously has far more priority for us western nations that care so much about human rights.
