Military service is more-or-less mandatory in Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Israel
they said they left home because the fish are gone.
This is what comes up searching for their town, Fass Boye:
A waste of fish: Food security under threat from the fishmeal and fish oil industry in West Africa' is a 2019 report into food security in the region. Greenpeace Africa is calling on governments to immediately phase it out to stop the threat to regional fish stocks, which are essential for the food security and livelihoods of local people.

"So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race."
yes, it's a commercial problem, as you point out - however it's appalling to leave people completely without assistance if they are in obvious peril at sea. Rendering assistance need not obligate them to bring them aboard - but some basic humanity would dictate to not just abandon them to die. But of course there is stuff to deliver and schedules to meet - business is business...
I've got one word to say to you, Kim... Rupert Murdoch.
'Massive cargo ships passed the would-be migrants by almost every day, destabilizing their shaky wooden canoe-like boat, known as a pirogue. No one came to their rescue. Under international law, captains are required “to render assistance to any person found at sea in danger of being lost.” But the law is hard to enforce. '
Words fail.
I do not apologize.

Wrongfully jailed for 20 years, Australia’s ‘most hated woman’ likely to receive record compensation
I thought Lindy Chamberlain was "Australia's most hated woman"..... wait...huh?
'The police were feeding information to the press': The Australian mother wrongly convicted of murder
oh… maybe it was Julia Gillard then… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogyny_Speech
now this one's pardoned, who will the Murdochs be nominating for the "Australia's most hated woman" title?
I can't help but comment because I didn't notice how beautiful the alliteration in the headline was until now. That's a good one. Pity the car wasn't a Prius.
According to this scholar: https://nzpod.co.nz/podcast/the-ancients/jesus-of-nazareth
It is unlikely that his body was ever placed into a tomb. Part of the point of crucifixion was the public nature of the body being on display and those crucified were not given honorable burials by design.
The academic consensus seems to be that an influential Jewish man referred to as "Cristos" or "Crestos" did exist but that the resurrection and other mystical stuff was of course all embellishment.
'Crestos' was a apparently a common name for slaves in Judea. I wondered if perhaps the name Christ referred to a man who rose from the slavery caste to threaten the political establishment with revolution. Most of the new testament teachings are obviously political. 'Life of Brian' is probably closer to the truth than you'd think.
