    People say it’s a publicity stunt. Well so what. Greta knows if she goes, cameras and reporters will follow. It’s the same thing Lady Diana did when traveling to 3rd world nations…she knew that she alone wouldn’t make a difference, but the cameras and reporters that follow her would.

    Greta is doing what most of us only discuss…helping. and if she helps by keeping Isreal’s hypocrisy in the news, then she wins.

      They one who says that are troll because it is not a Publicity stunt when you are going to the door steps of a fascist military organization that have no regards of any human life “including their own” and will not hesitate shooting you down or imprisoned you for unknown time.

      People say it’s a publicity stunt.

      Shortly before the IDF bombs another Reuters photojournalist team, sure.

      and if she helps by keeping Isreal’s hypocrisy in the news, then she wins.

      If she really wanted to help, she’d be campaigning for Kamala Harris for President.

      That’s what I’m told Palestinians actually want.

        blockade stops 50 ships just as easily, these are not blockade running ships.

          That makes a bigger headline, and shows more and more people care about the Palestinian people.

          Is there a downside here? Why are people upset by this concept?

          Just because powerful bullies are unlikely to lose, doesn’t mean it’s not worth defying them.

    I don’t get the criticism. They either get the food through or the press following her is going to film the Israeli navy blocking the food from entering the shore.

      1. Pawn are very important piece in chess, most of the time you lose one you lose the game.
      2. Pawn becomes any other piece when it reach its destination including a Queen.
      3. that is a lame comment that makes no sense.

        Pawns are the first pieces to be sacrificed in a game of chess. How deep did you go to pull out this comment?

        Maybe the first to loose a pawn in game are statisticaly more prone to loosing. But that’s will be Tue reason of being the worse players not that the piece in itself is so important.

    She was in Norway like a week ago. Woman’s busy.

    She would be better of protesting in Saudi Arabia or stopping some russian shadow fleet ships before supplying the Russian war machine.

    We got the Temu version of a radical protestant instead.

      “The J’s”.

      Yeah, we can tell who you are here. You sound like an antisemite if you’re going with that approach.

      Not all Jewish people in the world are for this genocide. Israel is commiting this atrocity, not every Jewish person.

        But a majority of Israeli’s and their cousin’s support this genocide. Or Bibi wouldn’t be so influential in their culture.

        I can’t say the J word because people get upset. I’m a genetic J btw. I live inside of this hate bubble. Encircled by people who preach death to Islam at all costs. And I didn’t come out hating people. I just dislike all religions of all forms. They are simply a death cult. All of them.

          Jesus fucking christ dude grow a spine. Israeli govt, religious fanatics (literally any religion suffers from this btw), and obscenely rich fuckwads are the problem. Shit just happened to occur in a Jewish country. Has absolutely nothing to do with “the Jews” you fucking retard.

            I’m not saying “The Jews”. I’m saying that a majority of the Jewish community supports this genocide. As I have witnessed for decades in my own family and culture.

            A recent YouTuber was flown around Gaza and now is a mouth piece for the IDF. Because they showed him how a small minority of Gaza’s were working with Hamas planning the October 20th murders. He now thinks because a few people gave intel to Hamas. That Israel is ok to do what they are doing.

            It’s insane the amount of psychological warfare going on and people can’t see through the bullshit.

    I don’t understand why they are publicizing this. Wouldn’t it be easier to ‘slip by’ under cover of night or whatever smuggler-esque strategies there are?

      it’s a illegal blockage, if they tried to do it in secret it would 100% fail, it’s a humanitarian aid flotilla, not a military stealth ship.

      if anything the more public eyes on this the better.

        That’s not true necessarily. Of course they are highlighting the cruelty of the blockade, but I’m sure they’d be very happy to get in and see what’s happening—as well as distribute some food

          yet they wont and they know that they wont. why not deliver food to the Ukrainian front? because they might actually get there.

            What in the world kind of thinking is this? Yeah, there’s a war going on and Russia is targeting civilian centers and are clearly the invading aggressor, but that is not on the same level as the full blown genocide happening in Gaza/West Bank. The fact that they could easily get into Ukraine and deliver food…means they don’t have to. What.

            There is an actual famine happening in Gaza. Starvation is being used as a weapon of war and attrition against the entire civilian population. There are only upsides to them trying this: either aid gets through and some people survive a little longer, or it doesn’t, and it proves to the entire world—that happens to be sitting on their hands over the genocide—that this is real and needs way more attention and pressure. What don’t you understand about that?

                It’s attempting to break an illegal and genocidal blockade of necessary survival items. The fact that the blockade exists means they should respect it?

                Look what they’ve already done: started thousands of conversations about it. It’s already mountains more than you or I have ever done to help the people of Gaza. Your opinion is ridiculous. But it also shows how necessary these actions are.
