JFC how many soldiers & guns do you need to arrest a bunch of hippies? [I’m not using “hippies” disparagingly, just to underscore the point that these are peaceful humanitarians]

#SouthAfrica says release its activists, including grandson of #NelsonMandela
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday that Israel's interception of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla was a "grave offense" against "global solidarity & sentiment that is aimed at relieving suffering in #Gaza".
Ramaphosa called on #Israel to immediately release South Africans & others who were on the flotilla, including liberation hero Nelson Mandela's grandson, Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela.
#MandlaMandela, as he is known, left Johannesburg in September to join the flotilla. He had said #Palestinians lives under Israeli occupation are worse than what South Africans experienced under #apartheid. #Israel rejects comparisons between the lives of Palestinians who have lived under #occupation or economic #blockade for more than half a century & the apartheid era in #SouthAfrica, when the Black majority was ruled by a repressive white minority government.
#Greece says 27 activists are in good health
The 27 Greeks participating in the flotilla are in good health & there is no evidence of violence against them, the Greek foreign ministry said in a statement.
"According to an update from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the flotilla ships are safely arriving at the port of Ashdod, accompanied by Israeli ships, & procedures will follow for the registration & deportation of those on board," it said.
