Terrorism
Fuck Israel. Free Palestine.
They are the evil they claim to be fighting
Right wing religious nutters are well known for treating people like shit. The modern violence, on those dried rocks, originates from around 1917. Albert Einstein is 100% correct.
Not saying it's definitely the case but the conspiracy minded part of me can't help but notice the attack on the synagogue in Manchester was very conveniently timed around when the flotilla arrived in Israel. Could just be coincidence of course but we've seen what they're capable of making happen. This would be very easy for them. And this isn't to have any disrespect towards the victims of the attack, even if it was a false flag or whatever it doesn't make it any less of a tragedy. Plenty of Jewish people suffer generally because of Israel too
Edit: well guess I offended a bunch of people with this. Nice to see that we're being no different to reddit here and just downvoting people we don't agree with, even if that person isn't being shitty about the opinion they're expressing and isn't claiming it's true anyway, and not having an open discussion about the thing that's been said

lol hard doubt
edit: ~~to all those who can't employ critical thinking, representants for the swedish ministry of foreign affairs met Greta Thunberg on Saturday and received no reports of violence. She says there has been too little to eat and drink, she suspects there's bed bugs and she stated that she had to lay on hard surfaces. Nothing about what this article states, so unless it happened right after the embassy left, this is bull and only meant ragebait.~~
edit2: I would advice everyone to apply critical thinking when reading this article. It is framed in such a way as to invoke rage in readers and is probably not true.
Swedish representants for the foreign ministry has met with Greta which stated that there was lack of food and water and that they have to lay on hard surfaces in addition to receiving harsh treatment. No mentions of violence.
Now harsh treatment could cover a lot, but the fact that she hasn't mentioned that they were inflicted violence is a pretty strong indicator that this is not true.
In addition, swedish media hasn't covered this story which I have no doubt they would pick up on pretty fast since the flotilla and the genocide is well covered in media. This would be headlines to say the least.
You’re of course welcome to believe whatever you want, but from my perspective the state of Israel has lost so much credibility they’re on the same level of standing as hearsay from the flotilla. Hatred and violence is now the norm over any political issue.
Seems to me most likely answer is Greta complained about abusive treatment to the embassy but they decided not to raise it publicly in hope of getting better food/bed for her — lacking a Time Machine and all. Ie being diplomatic…

You're being a cynical asshole. Even if you're right, the way you phrase it is so needlessly abrasive that you won't convince anyone of anything. You're just airing out your shitty personality for everyone else to deal with, and it's quite sad and concerning.
Get help.
Separate from that, the statements made in the email from the Swedish embassy that were sent to the Guardian don't contradict the other flotilla activist's claims. In fact, the embassy's email at least partially corroborates the claims—depending upon how you choose to interpret Greta's statement that she was being subjected to "harsh treatment". At no point did the representative refute the claims.
I think a modicum of critical thinking would easily lend credence to the claim that <country that's starving children and has sniped them in hospitals with quadcopters> might be abusive to an activist who's attempting to defy their mission.
It's equally reasonable to expect that an embassy would hesitate to repeat the claims/accusations without additional evidence so as not to cause any unnecessary diplomatic tensions, especially with Greta still being in custody.
But again, I wouldn't expect someone exhibiting such a shining personality such as yourself to stop to consider that perhaps the representative was being diplomatic about what claims they were willing to repeat. You know—because assholes generally know fuck-all about when/how someone is being diplomatic.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
