En el Mediterráneo, a pocas millas de Chipre, más de 400 activistas a bordo de una flotilla humanitaria fueron interceptados por fuerzas israelíes, detenidos y deportados antes de poder acercarse a Gaza. Las imágenes de los detenidos con las manos atadas y el rostro contra el suelo circularon por el mundo, convirtiendo una operación naval en un incidente diplomático que sacudió a varios gobiernos europeos. Lo que comenzó como un acto de solidaridad colectiva terminó siendo, para quienes lo vivieron, un espejo de la misma realidad que intentaban denunciar.
