Not only that but from the pure bussines stand point . The cost-benefits ratio are simpy doesn't add up... The threats are simply directed for israel interest not the others . Unless your country flagged ships are carrying/connected to an israelis goods/port destination ... You are free to go ..
Why france for an instance has to come and slaving away to depend an israel interest when he is not threatened directly ?? Which in turn such gesture only make their ships and interest going to be targeted directly and only creates unnecessary loses be it time and materiels . Not to mention create another opportunity for a BDS movement target . Create more troubles than it worths . You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure such things out .
Off course flatly rejecting uncle sam wishes were out of question too . so they have to create some " creatives measures " too ....
If the american are so god damn eager to lit a fire for a christmas occasion by all means they free to do so by them self . Nobody were eager to join US and Israel party anytime soon ...
