She's got more guts than the idiots who mock & criticise her.

    Poor girl, I hope she lives through this.

    Why the use of the word "poor"? She's being brave as hell and using her publicity in a very productive manner.

    Please don't ask me to explain my use of english 🙈

    I hope for the best, but I know how this world works. Her death will not move mountains, just add another name to the list of innocent people that have died from this "conflict". It will be a blip across the screen for maybe a day, and then the next horrible thing will happen to take it's place.

    Save the obituary for if it plays out that way though. Letting your mind run wild with pre-emptive defeatism depletes your energy without giving you any productive results. I'm sorry if I sound patronizing but I see so much of this lately and I think we need to address it more because so many people are paralyzed in fear and hopelessness at a time where maintaining one's agency is crucial.

    Okay, that's definitely suicidal though. Like, is she actually expecting to get through? The Israelis are executing medics and children over there.

    I don’t think the expectation is they will get through. The goal is to create a scandal that will increase international attention and pressure to make them stop.

    If they hurt Greta I predict there will be a lot of backlash due to her fame and popularity.

    I don't think sinking this aid vessel would do anything to change the public conversation. The people who are aware already either condemn Israel or support the genocide. The unaware will not care about a handful more dead innocents.

    The bottom line is that Israel is openly and proudly committing atrocities and the international community is not willing to stop it. Only a military intervention could dissuade the IDF.

    I wish I could agree with you, but the situation in Gaza looks more and more like something we've seen before. After the end of World War 2, the world reacted with shock at what had been done to the Jews - murder has never been committed on such a grand scale and in such organized fashion. Jews had been dehumanised in public long before, being equated to rats and other vermin. The Zionists currently holding on to power in Israel are using the same kind of rhetoric against Palestinians. However, one difference between then and now is that the Rwanda genocide taught us that the world is entirely capable of sitting back and watch the horror unfold, even though we're all fully informed of what's going on. A ship of brave volunteers being sunk would cause a stern letter or at best sanctions. Israel can act with utter impunity as long as they're backed by their big brother Uncle Sam.

    Following the incident, an Israeli military investigation concluded that Corrie's death was the result of an accident and that the bulldozer operator had limited visibility.

    We investigated ourselves and found that we didn't murderl her, and that we aren't committing genocide. Hurray!

    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.

    She’s not the first to try. Israel doesn’t want a repeat of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla from 2010. Israel will sabotage her boat so she can’t sail. Greta won‘t get anywhere near Gaza.

    Breaching a naval blockade in times of war is very serious business.

    Hey, someone trying to do something that isn't for themselves. No wonder conservatives hate her guts.

    It's clear that the israelis are free to murder who they like. Only the risk of negative publicity dissuades them and since most corporate media is Zionist supporting, this really makes everyone who stands up to these monsters a potential target.
