"There is little doubt about who is behind the attacks. Donald Trump’s special envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, had earlier this week casually admitted that Israel was responsible for the drones in Tunis, telling an interviewer that “Israel is attacking everybody,” listing Tunisia alongside Syria and Lebanon. This latest attack comes after days of the Israeli government accusing the fleet of being a “jihadist” and “Hamas flotilla” that had been “organized” by the terrorist organization, and threatening to “take the necessary measures to prevent its entry into the combat zone.” It was an ominous sign that Israel was gearing up for another attack.
That attack came two hours after I spoke over the phone with David Adler, co–general coordinator of the Progressive International and one of the flotilla’s participants.

As another member of the flotilla crew said, this was not just an attack on vessels sailing peacefully in international waters. It was an attack on the citizens of dozens of different countries across half a dozen continents, on vessels flying the flags of countries like Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and Poland — “essentially a declaration of war against those countries.”"
