    Just like police can arrest you before you commit a crime, if you loudly and repeatedly proclaim the intention to commit it.

    They were asked repeatedly to change course and refused.

    Boarding, capturing the ship, confiscating cargo, and holding crew is exactly what international maritime law says is legal and customary in such situations like a blockade.

      A. Jurisdiction. B. You’re confusing ras with PC , you need pc for arrest you need ras to detain.

      Because they don’t have to, they’re well outside the blockade and Israel doesn’t own the ocean.

      No, international law says a ship entering a blockade illegally can be boarded and detained after they’ve been given a chance to leave the area… If they have to be given a chance to leave you can’t steal their property and kidnap their crew, that’s a crime.

      Read the law and don’t double post the same thing to me please.
