SMH @ activists using techno-fascist platforms for communications during an operation subject to state-actor level interference. I thought we recognised and acknowledged this problem 15-20 years ago already.

Yeah, that’s curious. I’d think they’d be prepared with Signal at the very least and some backup self-hosted channel, as well as cameras and backup cell hotspots.
they were prepared for the drone hit the other day; so hopefully for this as well.
I’d imagine they could have a few spread out boats further and further behind, each with its own cell hotspot, beaming WiFi all around, so that they have to be jammed simultaneously to stop the livestreams from capturing the attacks.
Or fiber optic cable.
it sounds like it would be easier to pick them off one-by-one if they were far apart.
What difference would that make? If someone who does have big guns wants to take them out, they’re going to end up at the bottom of the sea regardless of how clustered the boats are.
I think the notoriety is the point; since this flotilla is incapable of carrying anywhere near enough supplies to make a dent for the gazans; and also what netantayu desperately wants to avoid so that this can be more easily ignored; like everything else so far.
Sinking boats filled with famous people and foreign nationals whose gov’ts who would be forced to respond on their citizens’ well-being would bring more attention and pressure; which is exactly what netantayu wants to avoid.
We saw the western govts pressure isreal by pretending to push for recognition of Gaza and the isrealis responded w air supply drops; more pressure might force them to stop slowly killing the Gazans.
