Live stream of the Gaza flotilla - lots of boats have been intercepted, supposedly 1-2 boats still going (www.youtube.com)

Edit: The link was Novara, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCAN2Ay0OS4, but they seem to have gone to sleep. I switched it to the AP's livestream which seems to be just doing the raw feed with audio.

I'm not really sure what is happening. A woman on one boat said that they were the last boat, but the tracker still shows many in the unintercepted status with one quite close to Gaza. The people in YouTube chat are my only source of information and they are clearly morons. If I had to guess, I would say that there are 1-2 boats still going, most captured, the tracker hasn't updated to show all the intercepted ones, and Israel is transporting some of the boats around and that's why they show as a little bit scattered on the tracker. But who knows.

For all Europeans out there, tomorrow is a good day to be banging on pots in front of the closest parliament building or city hall or whatever. Be angry. Show it.

They're already doing it. They were showing a livestream of a big crowd in Brussels for a minute, and there's a protest planned for Parliament Square in London tomorrow.

Edit: Athens and Berlin too, they're in the street right now

I just came back from a protest in Copenhagen. Nothing too impressive, but for a last minute protest late in the evening in the cold suburbs where the Israeli embassy is located it wasn't too bad either. And the police showed up in really impressive numbers.
