Greta Thunberg, who has failed to reach Gaza two times as part of an anti-Israel flotilla, decided to showcase Israeli barbarism on her Instagram this week. There’s only one small problem: That guy on the bottom right is a Jewish man held captive and starved nearly to death by Hamas jihadis.

(Hostages and Missing Families Forum) Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg drew criticism Tuesday after sharing a picture of an emaciated Israeli hostage in a social media post about alleged mistreatment of Palestinians in Israeli prisons and detention centers. The post, which was made in collaboration with several pro-Palestinian activists, included graphics with statistics and pictures of Palestinians in Israeli detention, and was meant to call attention to “the suffering” of those in custody. “The suffering of Palestinian prisoners is not a matter of opinion — it is a fact of cruelty and dehumanization. Humanity cannot be selective. Justice cannot have...

Newly discovered documents connect Hamas to two key organizers of Greta Thunberg's Global Sumud Flotilla and reveal that dozens of the fleet's boats are owned by the terror group, Israel's Foreign Ministry announced Tuesday. One document released by the agency showed a list of operatives in the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA), an Israeli-designated terror group that counts Hamas terrorists and flotilla leaders among its members. It included Saif Abu Kashk, the CEO of Cyber Neptune, which Israel's Foreign Ministry called a Hamas front company in Spain that "owns dozens of the ships participating in the 'Sumud' flotilla." "Thus,...

Greta left ship in Tunisia because "focus not on Gaza" and got on a different ship/took a plane (confusion). waaah. Transcript linked below video.

Why is anyone surprised that Allah-fearing Koran-bashers and genderfluid Westerners are struggling to get along?Remember when leftists chanted, ‘Yemen, Yemen, make us proud / Turn another ship around!’, goading the medieval anti-Semites of the Houthi movement to bomb merchant ships in the Red Sea? Well, now those same people are blubbing like babies because Israel allegedly pumped some ABBA on to their flotilla of boats heading to Gaza. So it’s fine for a racist militia to rain missiles on the hard-grafting men of merchant ships, but heaven forbid that the Jewish State subject the lily-handed activist class to a bit...

Swedish professional protester Greta Thunberg and supporters now traveling in a 51-vessel convoy to Hamas-terrorist controlled Gaza have a problem. Opponents have hijacked their radios and communications systems to play ABBA on repeat and block out any other comms within the anti-Israel fleet. The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) alleges the ongoing radio jamming incidents using the mellifluous tones of the legendary Swedish super group to be the work of an Israeli attack. Mamma Mia! Greta’s Gaza Flotilla Flooded with ABBA Music on Repeat as Radios Hijacked 2 BARCELONA, SPAIN - AUGUST 31: Greta Thunberg waves as she greets people while...

A single "queer activist" has thrown Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound flotilla into disarray, with several participants blasting the group’s leaders and at least one coordinator ditching it entirely. The beleaguered Global Sumud Flotilla aims to bypass Israel’s blockade to deliver aid to Gaza. But when self-described "queer activist" Saif Ayadi joined the effort, Khaled Boujemâa, a Tunisian coordinator for the flotilla, resigned in anger. "We were lied to about the identity of some of the participants at the forefront of the flotilla," he said in a Sept. 14 video posted to Facebook, the French outlet Le Courrier de l'Atlas reported, according...

This is too hilarious to be true. But apparently it is, and it couldn't be more entertaining, wondering how it's going to play out. You know, the part where indulged, hedonistic, virtue-signaling, bubble-wrapped Westerners run straight into that ugly brick wall known as 'third world cultures' on their territory, not in the safe laboratory of a London or San Francisco street protest. Their first big mistake of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), a multinational convoy of several dozen vessels seeking to breach Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza, was picking St Scowly Pants to lead the repeated watery charge into Gaza....
