I have a lot of respect for her and the people doing this. But I wish they wouldn't. This sounds like a Suicide Mission.

    That's why very few people are able to do what she's doing, and why she's extremely brave to leverage that: she announced that's her ship, where she is and why she is there. Killing Greta would be the kind of media storm that Israel would not want to deal with, especially given their strategy of pretending criticism of peaceful beautiful Israel = being an antisemitic ass. Hard to keep this false dichotomy if you kill a generational icon.

    Israel is a heartless genocidal monster of a nation. It doesn't give two shits for any "generational icon" and the US has already voiced support for drowning her. This is the worst timeline and icons don't matter to power.

    It's not about what Israel cares about. She's an EU citizen of high repute and good money. Someone's gonna care if she dies to Israeli weaponry

    I don't think it'll work now. If Piers Morgan has flipped it means that the mainstream people are anti Zionists now.

    You sure live in a beautiful dream world

    Israel has violated a ceasefire at least 3 times. They Blockes off AId, killed Journalist, even kidnapped one and returned it without Organs. But you think a human rights activist that most right wingers consider a Terrorist will somehow make headlines?

    The problem reaches far beyond the far right. All the "center" or "progressive" political powers in the west are complicit to various degrees. From the German Greens to the US Democrats, enabling genocide is the political reality of people who otherwise claim to be for human rights, sustainability and other progressive causes. Now so far the genocide was mostly against brown people, so these kind of self perceived progressives were able to delude themselves as their unacknowledged racism guided them. Now if "one of them" is murdered. A white Swedish young women, who their sons and daughters see as a role model, who the "liberal" press used to praise... It will force the realization upon them, that they too are targeted in this genocide and the genocide will not stop at brown people.

    She is insanely clever, courageous, and selfless playing chicken with the state of Israel like this. She knows that either she succeeds in delivering aid to Palestine, or her death sparks a backlash that could be the tipping point for the rest of the world to get off their ass and do something.
