re: #676 Joo-LiZ

Elder of Ziyon has an excellent piece on the “Pirate” trope

All of the 3 incidents are sourced on EoZs blog.

I’d also argue that the very fact that it was an Israeli Naval force nullifies the idea of piracy. Pirates are those who do not act on behalf of a recognized government. If a navy intercepts and seizes a ship, you can still think it wrong, but you cannot call it piracy.
