Greta Thunberg and a fellow crew member aboard the Freedom Flotilla are in danger

She knowingly went to a warzone...what did she expect? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

They're going to shit themselves when they get near the actual blockade if a drone off the coast of Italy does that.

Please let this little bitch troll and all her narcissistic Jew-hating friends be captured by Hamas. PLEASE.

These far leftists who insist all of their pet topics are intersectional with everything are the second most annoying types of people around, second only to MAGA and Qanon types. "Gaza is tied to climate change which is tied to trans people which is tied to colonialism!!!!"--fuck off.

Don't martyr Greta!

That weird girl needs to put a curse on Netanyahu. Turn him into a frog or something Greta.

Self created drama. *yawn*

Greta, use your crazy laser eyes to shoot them down!

HOW DARE THEM! THEY’VE KEPT ME AWAKE AND STOLEN MY DREAMS!

[quote] That weird girl needs to put a curse on Netanyahu. Turn him into a frog or something Greta.

Kisses doll

She's no Moana, that's for sure.

Is this "freedom flotilla" genuinely only one small sailing boat with 11 people on it? I thought it was some sort of Dunkirk bunch of little boats sailing with aid "the Israelis can't stop all of us" type idea. They're more at risk of getting stuck there and adding to the starving population than feeding anyone.

That little dumbass is going to get herself killed.

However you may feel about her, she walks the walk.

She’s not posturing on social media, she’s out there actually trying to do something in alignment with her values.

I reserve my disdain for those phony “activists” who splash tomato soup around in art museums.

Whatever girl!

I'm still amazed by how the hell this stupid little brat is still relevant.

She should've been just a 2019 thing.

Oh, R14, you sweet summer child. Posturing for a social media audience is all this evil little goblin does.

[quote] she’s out there actually trying to do something in alignment with her values.

What values? I thought her thing was climate change. But now, it's Gaza?

Why should anyone care what an uneducated, autistic Swedish chick has to say? I hope they don't run into a torpedo.

Glad to see someone living their principles. If humanity ever makes it to a state of peaceful rationality, she will certainly be listed as an early hero for speaking out and showing up for important humanitarian causes. If we keep scorching this little planet like we're doing now, no one will care because we'll all be starving/slaving away for oligarchs, or lost due to heat exposure. It's crazy to see people write such cruel things about her in this thread, but I guess it just shows that we're 100% on our way to the latter scenario right now.

[quote] Israeli forces have taken command of a vessel that tried to challenge its naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, with the boat and its crew of 12 including activist Greta Thunberg now heading to a port in Israel, officials said on Sunday.

[quote] “The ‘selfie yacht’ of the ‘celebrities’ is safely making its way to the shores of Israel. The passengers are expected to return to their home countries,” the ministry wrote on X.

[quote] The yacht is carrying a small shipment of humanitarian aid, including rice and baby formula. The foreign ministry said the aid would be taken to Gaza. “The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the ’celebrities’ will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels,” it wrote.

[quote] The passengers are expected to return to their home countries,” the ministry wrote on X.

They were never getting through so probably about the best way this was ever going to turn out.

R14, do you know WHY she “walks the walk” as you say? Because since childhood she’s been groomed by an overzealous far left activist father who’s essentially a stage mother for showy “activism”. She’s also a fantastically entitled white girl who devours media attention for breakfast. This walk you claim she does, have you actually ever seen her working? Sweating and struggling to plant trees or fight a wild fire or loading massive bags of food onto a boat? Do you know if this organization of public relations that she’s built has put any of the money she’s grifted over the years into purchasing warehouses for food storage or climate response supplies? Have you actually seen anything notably tangible she’s done to back up all the bullshitting? You haven’t, because she hasn’t done it. She always seems to be on a very expensive boat getting media attention.

I don’t remember any global AIDS activist invited to speak before the United Nations or given audiences with the American president, but this sour little pig has. And that’s just one reason why I despise and loathe her. She’s a grift in Human form. The worst kind of conman there is. And she’s rewarded for it with every staged PR stunt she commits.

(Also, notice the Cuban flag on her boat…)

The guys hot. Lucky neurodivergent ho.

[quote] Why should anyone care what an uneducated, autistic Swedish chick has to say?

Fuck off with that ableism and credentialism.

R23, that's what activism is today, unfortunately.

Gee—who could have imagined THIS might happen?

This looks bad for Israel. Why overtake a ship with aid?

[Quote] Why should anyone care what an uneducated, autistic Swedish chick has to say? I hope they don't run into a torpedo.

You sound nice

Interesting posting history, r23.

I think it’s interesting that they were going to go to Malta until Malta said it would require the ship to be inspected before allowing it safe harbor. Greta’s gang then rejected the offer. Why?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Muriel is still having her one-sided war with the Daily Mail, I see.

R28 There is no actual "aid" on the boat. They have said themselves all there was room for was 30 days worth of food and supplies for the crew members and a small "symbolic token of aid" for Gazans--so like a couple sacks of flour. It's not meant to actually help anyone--it's meant to "raise awareness" (aka a performative stunt).

I see this through a slightly different lense. Ita nice, that for once, the leading idiotic twats spot is being taken up by a non-American in TODAYS news.

R34, seriously??? If that's the case, people shouldn't even be talking about this. But I'm seeing all these instagram influencers sharing this like it's a monumental achievement.

She’s been deported

The Israelis have given Greta the most horrendous punishment she could ever imagine - they've deported her by putting her on a plane!

so this was all about posturing? Bringing awareness to a conflict that is already in the news 25 hours a day for self promotion?

R38 Hopefully they send her 1st class on El Al direct from Tel Aviv to Stockholm.

Reichen Lekmkuhl should have followed Greta's example by choosing a grift with no foreseeable solution so he could ride it for the rest of his life, like she probably will. As long as the environment, her pet cause is in danger, she can morph that into any other pet cause that pops up and take donations.

She was seated in the back, next to the toilet where she belongs. The Israelis handled it beautifully, no fuss, no bother, nothing for the media, just bye, you dumb bitch. They were not going to be manipulated by this little self-aggrandizing publicity seeker.

Fuck with the Jews and find out, you surly little Scandinavian troll.

I genuinely admire this young lady. She’s committed, & gets right on in the dirt, without rolling up her sleeves in order to stay committed.

Good on her for her steadfast activism, regardless of whether or you agree with her stance on whatever she’s speaking up about.

She’s admirable, & I like her. ❤️

[Quote] These far leftists

Yes! It’s a pet issue only of the extreme left that people not be blown up and starved!

[Quote] this little bitch troll and all her narcissistic Jew-hating friends

Trotting out this red herring again. Zionos won’t be happy until they’ve made the idea of antisemitism completely meaningless.

[quote] Yes! It’s a pet issue only of the extreme left that people not be blown up and starved!

Saying climate change and Gaza are all interrelated is, in fact, far left BS.

Why the fuck are you going to take a cruise into a war zone then complain about being unsafe?

R44, it's all a charade. All she cares about his her celebrity and the money she's making from NGOs and other organizations. She's just a Jew hating, autistic Swedish manipulator.

She may be getting some coverage in Europe, but next to nothing in the US. She can't begin to compete with all the anti-ICE protesting and Trump/Musk news that's been going on here. She didn't pick the best time to do this stunt. Too much else going on in the news that's of much more interest.

Greta flew El Al to Paris. Glad to see she supports Israel's flag carrier 😄 !!!

"The thing that is so deeply admirable about Greta Thunberg is that she possesses this remarkable ability to make people three times her age psychotically, violently mad. And it’s largely because of an unwavering commitment to saving this planet and the people on it."

Has the planet improved in anyway since she became an activist?

When you get deported from a country do they pay for the plane ride home or do you?

R54 If you are deported from the US, the flight is free. I imagine it's the same everywhere else, but I'm not certain. Generally, it would be hard to collect payment.

I'll go get her! We're old pals.

I think they just want to get you the fuck out. The cost of the ride is considered worth it.

Definitely worth it to get rid of that sour-faced little troll.

She's quite unfortunate looking.

Trump can make people mad, r52. Making people mad is overrated even if it can feel good. Making them mad by actually accomplishing something is a different matter. And she has accomplished very little if any actual change.

El Al's new advertisement:

When Greta goes from Tel Aviv to Paris, she flies El Al Israel Airlines 🇮🇱 !

She took the watery highway to the Danger Zone!

But aren't those cheeks getting a little chubby?

A little piggy.

R23, [quote] don’t remember any global AIDS activist invited to speak before the United Nations or given audiences with the American president, but this sour little pig has. And that’s just one reason why I despise and loathe her.

How odd that you “loathe” someone who is bringing attention to global warming and starving Palestinians. Would you loathe her the same amount if she were bringing attention to, say, violence against gays?

. Methinks you hate her because you hate her causes

Should say:

I guess starving Palestinians until capitulation is the goal afterall.

R64, right, nobody was bringing attention to Palestine or climate change before Greta, nobody!

[quote]I guess starving Palestinians until their complete annihilation is the goal afterall.

FIFY, R65

That's not what R64 said, but nice try R66.

[quote has said she wasn't aware some of the people on board an aid ship bound for Gaza had shown support for Hamas and Hezbollah in the past. The vessel was seized at sea by Israeli authorities, and the climate activist was deported from Israel on Tuesday (June 10).

[quote]Asked whether she knew about the views of some of those involved in the Freedom Flotilla voyage, Ms Thunberg told reporters in Sweden last night: "I haven't heard about it or what this person has said." Challenged by reporters to explain why she hadn't considered the issue before the Gaza trip, she said: "Should I ask exactly everyone what exactly they have said about everything? It would take some time."

R69, she's dumb. Typical "influencer" activist.

she's the Cousin Oliver of the activist world.

[Quote] right, nobody was bringing attention to Palestine or climate change before Greta, nobody!

Yes, people are bringing attention to it, but somehow she’s caught the attention of the public.

[Quote] has said she wasn't aware some of the people on board an aid ship bound for Gaza had shown support for Hamas and Hezbollah in the past. The vessel was seized at sea by Israeli authorities, and the climate activist was deported from Israel on Tuesday (June 10).

Why is support for Hamas and Hezbollah considered immediately disqualifying considering IDF is even more lethal?

[quote]but somehow she’s caught the attention of the public.

Not really the public, but the media. They love a train wreck.

Leaving aside the question of terrorist violence against civilian targets, (since you apparently equate war casualties with terrorism) Hamas and Hezbollah are Islamic fundamentalist groups that are funded by the Iranian regime. Leaving aside their extermination rhetoric against the Jews (since you apparently believe that’s cool), they seek to impose control over populations by force, suppress women and gay people. Most people in Europe do not consider these organizations that are worthy of sympathy or support.

Because R73 both Hamas and Hezbollah are recognized terrorist organizations that have wreaked havoc and death around the world, not just in Israel. They have claimed responsibility for the deaths of numerous innocent victims in actions that were designed to terrorize populations AROUND THE WORLD. IDF is not the same, no matter how lethal they are. They are not a recognized terrorist organization. And if they were to be, the United States would be right up there as well.

[Quote] Leaving aside the question of terrorist violence against civilian targets, (since you apparently equate war casualties with terrorism) Hamas and Hezbollah are Islamic fundamentalist groups that are funded by the Iranian regime.

Terrorism and war are two sides of the same coin. We just give the convenient and acceptable term of war to established states. The motivations and outcomes are often the same. While Hamas and Hezbollah are fundamentalist groups, Israel is now run by fundamentalists as well

Terrorism and War are two different things r77. They are not the same.

[Quote] IDF is not the same, no matter how lethal they are. They are not a recognized terrorist organization

Sure because we only use the word terrorist if they threaten established states. When states do the same thing (like the US invading Iraq and killing 1 million people) we call it war. I don’t see a difference

R77

[quote]The primary difference between terrorism and war lies in the scope and nature of the violence, the target of the attacks, and the goals they seek to achieve. War is a conflict between organized groups, often states, with defined rules and a focus on military objectives, whereas terrorism involves the use or threat of violence, often targeting civilians, to instill fear and achieve political or ideological goals.

[Quote] Terrorism and War are two different things [R77]. They are not the same.

They are, in fact, the same. The nomenclature just changes based on who is doing the killing.

R80, so, basically war and terrorism are the same.

R79 cutting the head off of someone on live TV and broadcasting it around the world is terror. Getting your head blown off because a bombing during a conflict is war.

When the IDF kills Palestinian civilians, even before Sept 7, was that war just because the IDF wore snazzy uniforms?

[Quote] cutting the head off of someone on live TV and broadcasting it around the world is terror. Getting your head blown off because a bombing during a conflict is war

Same outcomes. Different nomenclature depending on who is doing the killing. Sounds more like convenience for establish states to use “war” so they can be just as destructive but without the moral issues

[Quote] cutting the head off of someone on live TV and broadcasting it around the world is terror. Getting your head blown off because a bombing during a conflict is war

The IRA and the Black Panthers never did any of that but were labeled terrorists.

Pre-Israel Jewish terrorist groups like Hagana and Irgun are suddenly not considered terrorists but freedom fighters.

Sounds rather convenient

So if it’s terrorists versus terrorists I guess we should just let the more powerful terrorists win, right?

It all depends on who ultimately wins. States label dissenting groups as terrorists solely because they threaten the existence of established states.

Terrorists themselves consider themselves freedom fighters. There were many terrorist acts against the Britain government when they had colonies all over the world. Were the the colonies, like India, wrong in fighting for freedom from repressive regimes?

[Quote] So if it’s terrorists versus terrorists I guess we should just let the more powerful terrorists win, right?

That’s the history of the world in a nutshell

Haganah was formed as self defense militias who fought principally against Arab militias that were attacking Jewish settlements . Irgun was a more aggressive offshoot that attacked British imperial forces. Neither self defense nor attacks on the occupying military are classified as “terrorism.” Attacks on civilians are

Irgun also committed atrocities that are considered terrorism and it was officially labeled as a terrorist organization at the time by the UN and the British and American governments . It existence in the last century is not a justification or a excuse for terrorism today

GTFOOH R78.

She refused to watch the October 7 attack videos. I assume her companions did, as well.

^I'm willing to bet R84 has as well.

This kid is going to get herself killed

Every body so confused as the difference between War and Terrorism are probably the same people confused as to what a Genocide is. These words actually have definitions that you can look up for yourself. If you lack critical thinking skills and are unable to understand how the definitions apply to certain situations, then that is on you and your horrible education. Most of those people are from a generation that thinks just because I think it's so, makes it so. That's what happens when you get awards for just participating.

Terrorism is not war. If it was, they would call it war.
