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.
