7. They were detained in international waters, which is normally considered an act of piracy

or an act of war. Before they were detained the Israeli forces used drones to drop some kind of white powder on the Madleen causing eye irritation. They also ordered the crew to drop their cell phones into the ocean. The term ‘kidnapped’ is apt. The boat is apparently being towed to Israel so Israeli authorities can “deport” the kidnapped victims and pretend it’s all legit. Of course CNN will whitewash the incident to cover for Israel’s typical thuggish lawlessness. It’s SOP for US media to pretend that international laws and treaties don’t apply to Israel.
