If a blockade is 3:48 declared and recognized as legal under 3:50 international law, meaning it is 3:51 publicly declared effective and 3:52 non-discriminatory, then vessels can 3:54 attempt that attempt to breach it can 3:55 legally be intercepted.
Did you note "declared and recognised" ... doesn't mean unilaterally by Israel.
Where are states saying it is legal (apart from Israel)? Where is UNO doing so?
4:10 Not just "a government" declaring the blockade, you also need other governments recognising it as legal.
I scrolled the transscript.
2011 Palmer report. Well, that was a report, not a UNO decision, right?
It was in 2011, since then it seems that evidence has come out that in fact the blockade is starving Gazawis.
And you forget that even legal blockades have no right to intercept humanitarian aid.
Here is some news on the 2011 Palmer report:
15.09.2011 UN independent panel rejects Palmer report (iHH)
https://ihh.org.tr/en/news/un-independent-panel-rejects-palmer-report-1118
Prepared by former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer and former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and presented to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Sept. 2, the UN panel's report on the 2010 Israeli attack on Mavi Marmara labeled the Israeli raid as “excessive and unreasonable,” but also claimed that due to Israel's security concerns, its blockade of Gaza is legal. The UN panel also blamed Turkey and flotilla organizers for contributing to the deaths.
So, this is the background, now, there is another independent UN panel:
The human rights experts said the blockade had subjected Gazans to collective punishment in "flagrant contravention of international human rights and humanitarian law."
The four-year blockade deprived 1.6 million Palestinians living in the enclave of fundamental rights, they said.
"In pronouncing itself on the legality of the naval blockade, the Palmer Report does not recognize the naval blockade as an integral part of Israel's closure policy towards Gaza which has a disproportionate impact on the human rights of civilians," they said in a joint statement.
[back to citing video]
Okay. [in?] 2011 the 5:27 UN say [said?] this blockade is totally 5:28 legitimate.
No, the Palmer report is NOT the UN. It was handed in to Ban Ki Moon. I have no news Ban Ki Moon or the then security council voted to actually state the blockade was legitimate.
7:36 It's discriminating against the rights of Gazans or Gazawis to get food.
8:11 Gaza Humanitarian Foundation?
Right .... where Gazawis trying to collect the aid actually get shot.
In other words, a humanitarian corridor, like what the flotilla is trying to get gone, would be a highly welcome and necessary supplement to what Israel is letting in.
In other words, the only way in which the blockade is not trying to starve Gazawis and by and large succeeding is, to deny facts.
because we've 8:34 decided that they're discriminating 8:36 against the Palestinians even though 8:38 international law has not recognized 8:40 that
Well, the recognition could be upcoming.
The definition of a legal blockade is not that it is declared and not recognised illegal, but that it's declared and recognised legal. The Palmer report contradicted by the Falk report is not a formal recognition of the legality of the blockade.
9:17 Robbing a store is not just illegal, but immoral.
However, breaking a blockade that's not defined as legal and has many reasons to be regarded as illegal, that's not illegal, and not immoral, if the things brought are humanitarian aid.
9:28 The reason they are afraid of their lives is MV Mavi Marmara, 2010.
Passengers on the ship actively attempted to thwart a landing on the ship by Israeli commandos. In the violent clash that followed, nine activists were killed, according to the U.N. Report,[22] and a tenth died four years later of his wounds.[23] Several dozen activists were claimed to be injured, some seriously. Israel claimed 10 of its soldiers were injured, one seriously.[24]
The U.N. report stated that knives from the ship's kitchens (plus one traditional, ceremonial knife), some catapults (slingshots) and metal pipes the passengers cut from the ship's railings were found.
The UN report by Palmer (the one presumably meant) certainly stated that while the blockade was legal, the action by IDF was excessive. Meanwhile, there is no resolution stating the blockade is legal.
A report and a resolution are two different things.
A resolution means UN recognises or condemns a thing. A report means an expert employed or accepted by the UN suggests a recognition or condemnation of sth.
I cannot find any resolution to recognise the report of Palmer as founded. More like, there was simply no resolution to condemn the blockade as unfounded, and that could change.
[Apparently, it did change, in 2023, the legality of the blockade is specifically NOT recognised as to Freedom Flotilla]
