Israeli forces have detained dozens of activists, including Greta Thunberg, after intercepting the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying aid bound for Gaza in international waters.

Israel defended the action as enforcement of a naval blockade near a combat zone, while activists condemned it as illegal, alleging that vessels were rammed and attacked with water cannon.

The interception has triggered global debate. Leaders from South Africa, Turkey, Colombia, and others called the it a violation of international law. Colombia expelled Israeli diplomats and scrapped a trade deal in protest, while Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticised the flotilla as unhelpful to Palestinians.

Demonstrations have erupted across Europe and beyond, and the UN Human Rights chief urged Israel to lift its blockade and allow humanitarian aid in.

  1. Greta is a woke imbecile, as are the rest of them.

    Meloni is right. No matter who’s side you’re on, having a bunch of lefty westerner activists rock up to signal their virtue and pontificate over the bodies for TikTok likes is extremely stupid, unhelpful and disrespectful to the dead.

    You aren’t “mAkiNg a diFFeRencE”, you’re turning a very serious issue into a circus.

  2. You like her or not. Even if it is ” virtue signaling” her action alone, because she is a ” celebrity” bring the focus or israhell’ genocide, especially to the younger generations , on the crimes commited by Israhell.
    Therefore her action is positive and necessary

    • She’s a grifter trying to get stardom. Bored of climate change and getting on the side of the youth to support a terrorist organization rather being for true Palestinians who might be starving.

      • Hamas is mot a terrorist organization, but a liberation movement and recognized as such by the United Nation.

        Further more this kind of “stardom” as you call it is not without risks when you oppose the genocidals

        Liberation movement like the vietcong was during the colonization of vietnam by the US vulture

    • Her action is NOT necessary at this point.

      The Gaza war has been devastating to both sides of the conflict. Palestinians have been killed by the thousands. And I think that israel has profoundly underestimated the worldwide public backlash that’s been kicked up, and in doing so have severely tarnished their image on the world stage and ruined their (for lack of a better word) brand. It may take decades to salvage it, IF that’s even possible.

      Most of the general public are already of the opinion that Israel are the A-holes (or at least have become the A-holes) in this war. And whether you agree with that sentiment or not is almost irrelevant, my point is that you already know all about what’s happening, it’s already on every website, TV news station and Sunday newspaper out there. We don’t need Greta and the tards (™️) to “raise awareness”.

      Also, aren’t you insulted by these western celebrities who think that now that THEY’VE arrived on scene, they can fix everything? The mentality is something like, “Forget all those viral vids of stupid Palestinian children with arms and legs blown off, who cares. Now that someone important like ME is here, they wouldn’t DARE strike!” The sheer arrogance just pisses me right off.

      Trying to build fame and fortune for yourself over the graves of dead war victims is deeply evil.

      Shut up and go away Greta, forever. You aren’t helping anything.

      • And why do you think the US zionists want control of tiktok ?
        Used by very young .
        It seems that the US algorithme has been rewritten and wat ever ” news” posted over Gaza disappears in real time.

        Most youngster don t read papers or watch tv. BUT they use tiktok.
        As for ” celebrities” ther are enough stupid fools among them to support israhell.
        This one is not

  3. So many idiots in the comments section this time around. This is genocide and anyone with enough courage to try and do something about, even if its only to bring attention to it, deserves a measure of respect, no matter who they are.

    • Don’t pretend your precious Palestinians wouldn’t be doing the exact same thing if given half the chance. They brought this on themselves.

      Greta is in it for the publicity. It’s cringe, bro.

      The “idiots” in the comments section are right.

      • Appreciate the support, but I never said that “they brought this on themselves”.

        No one deserves to see their children blown to pieces in front of them.

        The only point I wanted to make in the comments above is that Greta is like one of those face-hugging parasites from the Alien films. I loathe the woke leftist celebrities, especially those who appoint themselves our moral compass for their own greed and ambition.

        Globalistssuck doesn’t agree with me (and that’s fine). We can all have our own opinions – we aren’t leftist group-thinkers here.

      • It has nothing to do with ” precious” palestinian, but about humanity.
        You would not even do to a dog what israhell does to these people.
