Israel demanded answers from Madrid over the treatment of the activists, days after Spain summoned Israel’s representative over Ben-Gvir’s controversial video taunting detained flotilla members.
If you ask me, their best-case scenario was probably to provoke a police response
The flotilla main goal is to bring humanitarian aid to gaza, they are provoking israel by doing it and they are aware of it. This doesn’t sound bad to me because they are bringing attention to israel goverment being an authoritarian regime who torture activists and prisoners.
If a small provocation such as peacefully blocking a gate while protesting a genocide trigger the police to beat up people and arrest them, it sounds a good provocation to me because it get to remember people the reality of the world we live in and what happen the moment you refuse to obey the government.
You’re right. But they also gave Israel the perfect opportunity to make the Spanish government look bad, one of the few countries openly opposing Israel and the U.S. for their illegal wars.

Still better than give the perfect opportunity to israel to keep going with their shit
I’m sure blocking that gate made netanyahu and his supporters think. /s
