June 1st, we’ll attempt to, again, sail towards Gaza and to try to break the siege and open up a humanitarian corridor by delivering aid like food and medical supplies,” says Thunberg. A similar mission to sail to occupied Gaza in May was aborted after a flotilla dubbed the “Conscience” suffered two drone attacks while in international waters.

“Keep your eyes on deck, continue flooding the streets, organize, boycott, and do everything in your power to stand for Palestine,” Thunberg ends her message, readying to set sail for Gaza from Catania, Sicily, on Sunday with aid supplies and several high-profile activists alongside her.

I didn't realize she was personally aiding in humanitarian efforts.

I didn't think I could respect this person more.

Hopefully without the weird shit

Keep her away from her young nephews I guess.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Everybody got some weird shit, I'm sure she will too.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

She seems to be most of what Gandhi is remembered for and none of the stuff that he should probably be hated for. Maybe it'll come out that she's done some horrible things, but I doubt it.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Honestly if conservatives or even certain liberals had anything on her, they would have released it by now.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yep, that's why I doubt there's anything particularly bad. In this age, there's no way to hide much, particularly if you're as (in)famous as she is. The ultra-wealthy can suppress a lot with their wealth, but anyone else is going to be dragged into the light if it's out there.

That group got bombed last time. Straight respect for her and the rest of the group.

How the fuck is this not in the news? Their boat got bombed off the coasts of sicily! Sigonella is just there, there's no way they don't know who did it.

I heard about it on DemocracyNOW, they're pretty good about covering Israel's many crimes.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

When the Putler might have done it, you will see the front page splattered with accusations about deep sea cables. (and barely any corrections when that turns out to be false accusations)

When Israel does it you better have Netanyahu personally admitting to it on video else the media will not give it a second thought.

The west do not give an ish about palestine protecting the terrorist state of israel instead

[-] [email protected] 97 points 2 days ago

The IDF is going to murder her :(

[-] [email protected] 62 points 2 days ago

she might be expecting this and have made peace with it for the sake of humanity

[-] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago

On one hand they probably don't want to anger Europe even further, but on the other hand Israel lost all its braincells in 2023 so we can't be sure they'll do the smart thing and not kill one of the world's most prominent activists.

No one will stop us, not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anyone else - Satanyaho

No reason to equate with satan... All of this is done in the name of god.

They don't care about europe and nobody else

given the chance they murdered their own hostages

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

They probably won’t because they know how much bad press they’d get. They’d rather murder non famous people or “unpeople” as they seem to see Palestinians.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 2 days ago

I would say that's unlikely. They can murder Palestinians all day, but a European aid ship filled with European activists, with one in particular being very famous? That's how you destroy any remaining support you had. It makes it very clear to everyone that you're evil, even to the people who've kept their heads in the sand. They'd probably keep US support for now, but lose a lot in Europe.

Wish I was still this optimistic

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

If any die they will just say it was a mistake like usual and the complicit west will say i see you are excused

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

That would make sense normally but here's the thing: Fascists are fucking stupid. Remember the European commission they intimidated using "warning shots"? Israel has been managing its PR horribly since October 7th and especially since March this year. that's a good thing for Palestinians because the faster Israel alienates the West the faster they can get some kind of help, but it means Greta can't count on her fame to protect her because such protection requires Israel to have self-preservation instincts that they clearly lost sometime in 2024.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

You're probably right, but it would make her a martyr really quickly, and it'd be very bad for Israel I hope. Ideally they aren't this stupid, but they've been proving that they are lately so who knows...

Be safe from idf terrorists

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

All those threatened MAGATs who hide in their trucks without a mask can go eat their little red hats for all their hatred against the ‘woke’.

Cuz this is how it’s done. This is what a backbone is.
