Disrupting trade is punishable by death.

At this scale? Yes. Fucking up global trade at this level hurts people all over the planet. The downstream pain reaches into millions of households.

And if that hurt isn't enough for you, it's clearly terrorism. And your plan is to let it stand because there haven't been any deaths?

Damn those ships and countries should probably consider not supplying a genocide then.

That's from the capitalist class hoarding all the wealth. We have more than enough resources to meet everyone's needs otherwise. Know who to blame and direct your frustration at.

My plan is to force Israel to stop the genocide.

And they aren't shutting down all global trade. Just ships going to or from Israel. Sanctions, essentially.
