Because of course, the world knew nothing about the war in Gaza until these brave souls set forth.
They were brave as the last boat to go some of the people on board were shot.
There isn't a war in Gaza just genocide.
this continues an ongoing thread on Gaza

The O/P read (in part)
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the population of Gaza will be displaced to the south after his security cabinet approved an expanded military operation in the enclave that a minister described as a plan to “conquer” the territory.
The vote on Sunday came hours after the military said it would mobilize tens of thousands of reservists, strengthening its capacity to operate in the besieged Palestinian territory.
“One thing will be clear: there will be no in-and-out,” Netanyahu said in a Monday video message posted on X. “We’ll call up reserves to come, hold territory — we’re not going to enter and then exit the area, only to carry out raids afterward. That’s not the plan. The intention is the opposite.”
We now have the aid crisis at the focus of world wide attention.

Am in the absolute pink thanks, just got a payrise! Don’t worry tho, I do see the casual insult of your comment, a favourite on forums when a poster doesn’t like certain comments.😄
Are you OK oreo only your posts seem a tad over-excited?

Give over, they weren’t kidnapped😄
The boat was taken to an Israeli port and now these Palestinian supporters will be deported back to their own countries.
Which, I may add they knew full well would happen.
Didn't know that. Yes they were brave, and we are talking about it, so to some extent, they have been successful.
The last time a boat tried to do this a while back the Israelis shot and killed 9 people, so they were pretty brave knowing this.
Glad that the protestors on the ship were not shot at. A group of International observers came under fire from the IDF, possibly last week, on the West Bank.
Meanwhile how much food got into Gaza today?

The yacht dwellers will all be home soon polishing their haloes.
What an unfair and vile comment.
Never mind Greta being on the ship, it needs to be pointed out that there was also a member of the European Union’s Parliament aboard: Rima Hassan.
Israel just kidnapped a foreign government official in international waters on humanitarian aid to a sovereign people.

Forget Greta, I already have.
But this has nothing to do with Greta- as it was somehow implied.
Yes Allira i did not say Greta spoke of the Holocaust, I spoke of the rise in antisemitism whilst at the same time denial of the
Holocaust is rising , frightening , so very frightening

Surely she had heard of antisemitism, yet we know denying the
Holocaust is growing , and her friends on the boat !So sorry, but this sentence makes no sense at all. Has she ever denied the Holocaust? You truly need to show evidence of that. As for strongly criticising Netanyahu, the IDF and this genocide, as well as those who support it, is NOT, and has never been, antisemitic.
BTW Palestinians are Semites, by definition.
Anniebach's sentence makes sense.
You have misunderstood it and turned it into something else, I think.

So she has never denied the Holocaust, thanks.
She may have said that for a different reason.
She had been detained in Germany on a previous visit.
The question remains - is she being used because she is well-known and will embrace the latest cause whole-heartedly? Who is funding her?She’s on the spectrum and will only ever see black and white, no grey.
She clearly lives for activism and adulation from others and does go from one cause to another.Not the only one of course, as a ragbag group of other activists, actors and a few singers climb on the same bandwagon ( yacht).what has this got to do with allegations she has denied the holocaust?
I know many who are 'on the spectrum' - they are often a lot more astute than so-called 'normal' people. She is neither naïve nor manipulated, I strongly believe. It just suits some people to say so, to diminish her intentions and goals.
Why do you keep repeating that?
No-one, as far as I have seen, has said that. Only you.
Claremont
I don't think she is being used at all. She has come to the conclusion that so many of us have, some for longer than others, that a genocide is happening and that the Palestinians have to be supported. Why would that mean that she is being 'used'.
What do you mean 'she has said that for a different reason'? About Greta denying the holocaust? Makes no sense.

I never said she did.
What I said seemed perfectly clear - as she had been detained previously in Germany she was saying f**k Germany. Rather a naïve thing to say when protesting in that country, I would think.

Very little about the boat, I have heard it’s from the U.S but don’t know if true ,

Who does this boat belong to and where did it come from? I think Annie's 'publicity stunt' goes too far, but I do think the protesters on it are naive. They can achieve nothing and IMO the situation is far too serious for gestures.
Only Greta may be naive, the others know exactly what they’re doing.

Apologies for typos. I can't see the whole box when typing, only a few lines at a time.
As for strongly criticising Netanyahu, the IDF and this genocide, as well as those who support it, is NOT, and has never been, antisemitic.
No, I think most ipod us can agree on thst.
However, shouting f**k Israel is not criticising Netanyahu and his Government, it is shouting about Israel and it's right to exist.
Climate activist Greta Thunberg was filmed giggling as she declared “f–k Germany” and “f–k Israel” at an anti-Israel rally in Germany Friday, video shows.
The 21-year-old appeared as a speaker at the demonstration in the southwestern German city of Mannheim, which included a discussion focused on “solidarity with Palestine and the climate movement.”
“F–k Germany,” Thunberg says in the clip, before bursting into laughter. “And f–k Israel,” she adds to rapturous applause and whistling from the crowd.
She posted a photo of herself holding a sign reading “Stand with Gaza” just days after Oct. 7, alongside a toy octopus — which some read as an allusion to the Nazis’ antisemitic propaganda visualizing Judaism’s supposed network of control over the world.
Thunberg, who is on the autism spectrum, later removed the photo and claimed she was “completely unaware” of the historical use of antisemitic octopus imagery and clarified that she meant for it to represent her emotions.

Is Greta, as a well-known activist, being used by others?
