Each of the volunteers was given two options: sign documents consenting to deportation, or remain in detention and appear before a tribunal. The FFC had encouraged some volunteers, if given the option, to agree to expedited deportation in order to restore access to communication—including the ability to speak freely and advocate for their fellow participants.

  1. Baptiste Andre (France) – Deported
  2. Greta Thunberg (Sweden) – Deported
  3. Sergio Toribio (Spain) – Deported

Greta Thunberg interviewed at Paris France airport, a few hours ago.

Some notes

  • She points out that the sandwich video is an Israeli PR stunt.
  • All of the crew members were detained separately to prevent coordinated communication.
  • Greta says she is not disappointed that the ship wasn't able to break the blockade, it shows Israel's systematic war crimes. Israel is doing a live-streamed genocide.
  • Europe is complicit in Israel's illegal kidnapping of the Madleen by remaining silent.
  • Israel asked crew members to sign papers saying that they had entered Israel illegally. Greta says she did not sign the papers.
  • Press asks whether the Madleen was a PR stunt. Greta again mentions the sandwiches Israeli PR stunt.
  • When asked about why the ship didn't carry more aid, Greta says that their previous ship named 'Conscious' had been bombed twice and that evidence indicates it was Israel who bombed the ship.
  • The smaller ship was used because it's all that Freedom Flotilla had left and their intention was to break the blockade on Gaza.
  • Greta says that attempts to break the blockade will continue but doesn't specify if there will be another boat.
  • Says the crew was treated by IOF in a dehumanizing way, but not treated as badly as Palestinians
  • Asked about Trump saying that she has anger management problems. Greta replies "I think that the world need a lot more young angry women" (based)

I wonder how close Israel is allowed to get to foreign shores before a nation will do anything about it. They apparently have impunity to kidnap in international waters. Are they allowed to just head over to France and start taking people now? Will the whole world let Israel kidnap anyone and everyone from anywhere for any reason they want? Sure seems like it

The Mossad is known to steal identification (like passports) from elderly or otherwise disabled people in nations allied to Israel, and most of those countries allow them to do it. It wouldn't surprise me if they let them do that too

The Israeli government is already actively involved in policing operations and court cases against activists here in the UK, despite it being very illegal and a clear conflict. And according to the accounts of some of the activists and journalists who were detained under terror charges in black bag raids, they suspect that members of the anti-terror police who hid their identities and ran their interrogations were likely Israeli, rather than British anti-terror police

choosing to detain the member of european parliament is certainly a choice

Their country won't back them up and Israel knows it

[-] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

well but then they've deported greta despite the fact that the swedish government already said they don't care. maybe for her it's the pr of the matter but i'm not sure.

also 2 of the 4 deportees are french, so i'm not very convinced that's the reason. if anything, the french government is significantly more obligated to back up an mep than they are the deportees.

So it's justified to bomb Israel until they release the hostages now right?

Why deport only some and detain the others?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

It says in the press statements that all of the crew were separated and that each crew member was allegedly asked if they would rather be deported or detained. Or it could be that Israel decided to detain certain people.

Here's the latest statement from 1 hour ago.

Right so they were asked separately and some of them gave different answers then? Weird question to ask. Why choose detained?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

To be deported immediately, you had to sign some document stating and acknowledging that you entered Israel illegally. If you don't sign the document, you get detained for 96 hours before deportation. At least that what I understand from the latest news, could be wrong.

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

Greta says she didn't sign that but they deported her and a couple others immediately while detaining the others.
