Boat carrying Greta Thunberg towards Gaza is set on fire 'by drone' off north Africa: Flotilla organisers say 'acts of aggression aimed at derailing our mission will not deter us'

A boat carrying Greta Thunberg towards Gaza has been set ablaze in a suspected drone strike off the coast of North Africa, witnesses have said.

The 22-year-old Swedish climate firebrand is part of a controversial convoy of around 350 activists and aid workers, sailing on what they describe as a 'peaceful mission' to deliver supplies to Palestinians in Gaza.

But reports have emerged overnight that one of the vessels – the so-called Family Boat, flying under a Portuguese flag and carrying members of the flotilla's Steering Committee, including Greta – was attacked 'by a drone and caught fire' off the coast of North Africa.

A dramatic video posted by fellow activist Yasemin Acar on Instagram showed the aftermath of the incident, as she declared: 'The Family boat has been officially attacked – a drone came right above it, released a bomb and it exploded and the boat was on fire. Everyone on that boat is ok. The fire is out.'

She added that the ship, which was sailing in Tunisian waters, carried many of the same people who were detained with Greta during an earlier attempt to reach Gaza in June.

'They have bombed a boat with civilians on it in Tunisian territory. This is an attack against Gaza because they don't want us there. So we need you to mobilise. Let's not stay quiet,' she said.

The boat reportedly only incurred minor damage.

[...] and carrying members of the flotilla's Steering Committee, including Greta.

Could you imagine being a member of that steering committee, and having to negotiate with Greta over, e.g., your pronouns, or whether a male member - er, crewmember - having an involuntary erection should be punished by forcing him to walk the plank?

I know that "Spitting Image" has lambasted Thunberg - but this calls for a "Real Wives of Atlanta" treatment.

Regards,

You do not turn on the propane stove, and then go on deck to ask for a match.

A real drone would have sunk the boat.

Or they’re just so incompetent they managed to set their own Craft on fire?

Yes. Either a firework or a flare. Self inflicted.

I agree, False Flag. Attention Getter, Nothing More. Totally self inflicted by those on board to garner news coverage.

Endlessly pushing the climate change hoax, now the fetal alcohol Hobbit is bothering the Jews. "How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood!"

The 22-year-old Swedish climate firebrand >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An unfortunate choice of words?

Proving yet again that this is another publicity stunt foisted on the public by the Climate Change tribe of commie drum beater maniacs.

That tribe will have to sacrifice Thunberg to a volcano in order to appease the Climate Change Gods................Oooops I forgot, she was rejected by them because she lost her virginity in international waters when she sailed across the Atlantic with that German millionaire Boris Herrmann on his sailboat at the age of 16.

Essentially Thunberg is now a woman full of hate after being sexually abused as a child, now an excellent victim icon for the anti capitalist, jihadist , Jew hating left.

A screaming spoiled brat piece of leftist cannon fodder, used and abused:



GET A JOB AND GET A LIFE GRETA !

If the Israelis wanted to sink her boat it would be sunk.

Looks like an accidental or deliberate setting of fire or incendiary device.

Boats crewed by moronic novice activist sailors can have dangerous things happen

I compliment you on an excellent post and also on an excellent sense of history.

These maniacs are essentially fascist cannon fodder.

If I were a betting man, which I am not, I would put down $1000 on Greta’s nose for Nobel Peace Prize this year. You know they will give it to anyone else but Trump....
