    Israel’s military has been ordered to show Greta Thunberg footage of Hamas’s Oct 7 2023 attack on southern Israel.

    Just straight up showing a teenager extremely awful footage as a form of brainwashing and propaganda.

      The message is obvious. “If somebody hurts you, then any revenge is permissible, even against people whose only sin is living near them. Even if children are starving to death, it’s okay if it’s revenge.”

      The lack of humanity in Israel’s actions is simply hard to comprehend.

        At this point I wouldn’t be surprised the attack was staged by Israel to be able to take the rest of the Gaza strip.

        Well, have a look in the old Testament, specifically Leviticus 24:17-22.

        19 If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him, 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him.

        You know the part that is shared between Christianity and Judaism.

          That’s “an eye for an eye,” which is already horrible, but is not an escalation. Israel is escalating, “a genocide for a single attack.”

          And if you think about it, it makes NO sense, as humanity would have to destroy themselves too finally get even. Then there’s one person left, who won the game. Now it’s game over. So dumb.

    Something is wrong with this article. It seems strangely obsessed with Thunberg smiling at some point (mentioned several times in the article, with a well-timed shot that makes her appear to smile at a soldier handing her a bun). It acknowledges that the boat was seized “near Egypt”, but was it in international or Egyptian waters? Surely that would have been an important detail that any real journalist would like to include? It uncritically cites propaganda points handed out by Israeli officials:

    • the journey was a publicity stunt (“selfie yacht”), not a protest
    • equating the protest as a whole to Greta Thunberg as a person. I had previously mentioned how I enjoyed that the organization did not boast about her participation.
    • Thunberg was more concerned about her ego than about handing some “meagre” aid to Gazans. Yet the aid was confiscated.
    • and the classic: supporting Palestinians means siding with Hamas terrorists.

    I had to downvote OP because they could’ve chosen a better source I’m sure.

    First of all, terrible. Second, that website is horrendous.

    Is it not yet time for federated news?
