She's got more guts than the idiots who mock & criticise her.
She's got more guts than most, even those like me who respect and agree with her, and fear for her life.
People who mock her just blow my mind. Even worse when she was still underage. People were like: yeah i put a "Fuck Greta" sticker on my shitty car, that will teach that 15 year old girl to shut the fuck up.
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.
Publicly murdering a well-known pretty white girl is the kind of thing that might get the public on-board with military intervention
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.
Let's not call being ready to give your life for a cause being suicidal. Desperate, sure, but not that
I keep imagining Israeli soldiers screaming "it's anti semetic!" just like South Park "It's coming right for us!" to excuse every hail of bullets.
Damn, I never heard of her before, thank you for sharing
They celebrate her death in Israel by making pancakes.
Deeply unwell society.
I'm scared for her.
There is dying, and there is dying a good death.
Greta Thunberg will die a good death. And Thurberg will be one of the few of us that our descendants can point to show that humanity had at least one fan.
Her actions are guarantee to that.
I'm monitoring that bloat in a online tracker, I'm stressed too.
if a fraction of us were a fraction of her the would be a much better place.
Shes an amazing young lady. Hope its a safe trip. 🙏
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
Here's hoping Israel doesn't murder her and here's hoping there are actual consequences if they do.
She's what gives me hope for my generation.
I was in my mid 30s when Greta came onto the world stage and I want to be like her when I grow up...
Hey, someone trying to do something that isn't for themselves. No wonder conservatives hate her guts.
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.
but by placing notable people in there (who are genuinely risking their lives) will bring more attention, deter an attack, and bring so much more attention if there's one.
True bravery is using yourself as a human shield. unlike the mosquito protocol
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.
Big respect.
Omg she is gonna get herself killed
