Greek protesters block Israeli cruise ship from docking, forcing reroute to Cyprus

An Israeli-owned cruise ship was prevented from docking at the Greek island of Syros on Tuesday and was instead rerouted to Cyprus due to a large anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian protest taking place at the port.

The “Crown Iris” cruise ship, operated by Israeli shipping giant Mano Maritime, was carrying roughly 1,600 passengers when it arrived at Ermoupoli, in Syros, at around midday for a six-hour visit.

Initially, Mano Shipping said that there would be a “slight delay” in disembarking the ship, as it estimated that the demonstration would disperse “within half an hour.”

But as 3 p.m. came and went and the delay stretched on with no end in sight, Mano Shipping decided to skip Syros entirely and reroute the ship to Limassol in Cyprus instead.

Once again, mob rule prevails, followed by complete immunity for the perpetrators.

You are conflating exercises in freedom of speech protected by law with hooliganism punishable by law.

What makes you think they are in any way equivalent is beyond me.

Unless one makes a concerted effort to not keep up.

There is no inherent connection between mob rule, hooliganism and international law. Each is separate and distinct. But they all, in their own way, are relevant to the incident.

Not much of a mystery.
