I don’t have disagreements with the point you’re making. I was just confused why the topic switched from the crew being detained to Palestinians being unfairly imprisoned. They’re not really the same thing.

Regardless though, apparently Israel has routed the boat to Ashdod and is detaining the activists in a nearby facility until they get deported to their respective countries. So I guess this conversation doesn’t mean much since debating whether or not they’re hostages isn’t applicable anymore.
