It's not, it's specifically celebrating racist traitorous losers.

So long as the steel mills and foundries are located in the US it doesn't actually matter who owns them if it comes to war. Not everything is Hitler but he did lure in industry only to nationalize it and give it to his friends like many other dictators.

Sure that doesn't actually negate what I've said though.

Pretty much yeah, a dirty bomb is usually better used as an actual bomb. If you just want to kill a bunch of people rapidly in terrifying ways then gases are your best guess. Almost all the real bad ones are shit you can just make yourself if you have the base chemicals. Phosgene gas for one is available commercially for industry. Colorless with a benign smell but fatalities are often long after exposure so you could start a pretty rowdy leak in a population center and unless they're a WW1 vet most aren't likely to know the smell. You'd have a ton dead near instantly and a lot of people going home and living their lives for up to like 5 days and all of a sudden you get real bad and drop dead kinda out of the blue.

A. The first quoted section is providing past practice not current.

B. They weren't suspected of carrying contraband, they were boarded and none was found and yet their property was seized and they were then trafficked through multiple countries against their will.

B². Point to where it says they could seize a ship and take it as prize that was not caught with contraband.

C. Your second quoted section provides no relevant reason to capture a neutral humanitarian ship.

So Israel claims, they also claim they aren't murdering people and yet there's these piles of murdered people all over the place.

It’s a political stunt, not about actually delivering aid effectively.

Correct! The thing they announced was to draw attention and test it the blockade was legal in court like was done in 2019 was indeed to do exactly that! That said if you didn't know in 2019 they boarded a ship and murdered 9 people it's quite lucky nothing similar happened this time.

It is. Did their ship get to shore, are their doctors doing doctor things in hospital (tents) in Gaza? Journalists doing journalism on the ground? No? Then they are preventing aid. Blockades are for security, what security risk is it to Israel for these people to get there on a ship Israel themselves searched and found no contraband nor combatants? None?

That's how a blockade works. You even sourced your own contradiction, the blockade *must" be maintained by force a blockade that isn't adequately enforced is not a blockade. You announce intention slow to boarding speed and make way to your destination until ordered to slow and be boarded to enter.

Yes, Israel specifically has not accused them of that nor charged them with anything that could be construed as such.

Can’t let civilians simply sail straight into a combat zone in a foreign country either.

You yourself provided the source that says they can be boarded and searched, at no point does it say they can be barred entry nor taken as prize when on humanitarian mission.

You'd cheer a hospital ship being seized, the doctors deported and they're supplies seized?

Whomever, it's so hard to keep track now that they're picking fights with all their neighbors.

They're just not that useful they were a boogie man to hunt terrorists and later testimony came out that basically said it was all made up to hunt terrorists.

Hamas? No no, Israel detonated disguised pagers in civilian population centers to get "Hamas" people. Mostly in countries they aren't at West with either, fun isn't it?
