You may remember the whole world going nuts in late May when the Free Palestine keffiyists, over 400 in this performative episode of catch-me-if-you-can posed heroism, staged yet another virtue-signalling flotilla to Gaza – Greta Thunberg mysteriously absent this time – bearing their token "humanitarian aid" of six tins of tuna and a few bags of potato chips. Once again, they were apprehended by the Israelis and treated like the maritime scofflaws they were.
The sight of activists handcuffed and kneeling, and being mocked by National Security Minister Ben Gvir caused a global seizure of horror and near-universal condemnation. Turkey, which had been the flotilla's staging point, made quite a show of compassion for the alleged beatings and humiliation the poor tykes had been subjected to. Israeli diplomats were summoned for lectures, and anti-Israel journalists were as happy as five-year-olds on Christmas morning gazing at Santa's overnight bounty.
All the kiffeyehnistas were sent on their way. Six flotilla activists who arrived at Spain's Bilbao airport, miraculously recovered from their alleged ordeal, and bubbling with self-importance, deplaned and blocked the exit for the other passengers in their eagerness to do on-the-spot media interviews. They were set upon by the Basque regional police force, who treated some of them with extreme harshness before arresting them.
Naturally, the world condemned Spain with exactly the same moral fervour they had demonstrated against Israel a few days before. Ha ha, of course they didn't. The incident was reported and died. Only Israel summoned the Spanish envoy to demand an explanation for the police violence. The rest of the world couldn't care less about those flotilla activists' rights, because they couldn't pin their abrogation on Israel.

Nailed it!
Which members of the FR Allahu Akhbar Chorus were on the flotilla?
Or are they just slovenly pussies who call for the consequence free murder of Jews from the comfort of their ratty easy chairs?
The real issue and concern is that overt and cryptic anti Semitism focused on Israel is very much shamefully tolerated and practiced by the world’s elites and privlidged. These people should know better and study history. It does not turn out well for anyone.
Heh heh. Saving for future use.
The gays don’t realize they are the frog and the muzzies are scorpion.

In LaLaLand, the sun never sets.
Be a darned shame if those flotillas sunk in the Mediterranean
Greta Thunberg’s sister is a risqué pop singer who’s got nothing to say about climate change
