Israel is a genocidal nation.

![Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs This is what western states call the only democracy of the Middle East. Torturers through and through. Cut ties with Israel now. Break the blockade NOW. End genocide, illegal occupation and apartheid. [Quote] Progressive International @ProgIntl · Oct 5 BREAKING 🚨 Flotilla participants report that Greta Thunberg was dragged by her hair, beaten, and forced to kiss the Israeli flag "as a warning to others." This news comes amid reports of other disturbing incidents of violent humiliation of Flotilla members.

Greta turns attention away from herself. My admiration grows.

This makes me deeply angry ffs, fuck Israel.
Random acts of cruelty seem to be inextricable characteristics of Israeli psychology.

![Kathy 4h Kathy These fucking demonic bastards….may their day of reckoning come swift and hard. [quote] Margaret Pacetta, 70, from Glasgow, Scotland, is one of four Scots who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla. Pacetta arrived in Istanbul Airport on Saturday afternoon along with 136 other activists. "That prison was awful. No food, no water. My broken leg, the girl said to me, "Ah, what happened to your leg?" I said, "it's broke." She slammed the metal door on it and went, "Oh, sorry" [end quote] [image: video still, sowing part of a keffiyeh]](https://cdn.theblower.au/media_attachments/files/115/319/823/994/383/789/original/559d8e8c7e332cb8.png)
these are inextricable characteristics of a society that grew to believe that "after what they did to us, we can do anything". even becoming the monsters that once maimed them. and just as it once happened to others, they might need a shock to snap back to fear of retribution, i'm not even mentioning human decency.
The character of National Zionism was evident well before the rise of Nazism @vfreire85
They knew full well that genocide is the only path to their "Judenstaat".
National Socialism and National Zionism evolved close together in time and place. They're sibling ideologies. Both are ethno-supremacist. Both have proved genocidal. The Zionist form arose first. It's the elder sibling.
Nothing random about it.
This is fucked.
I mean beating a privileged blonde white girl is bad, but the whole genocide thing is what I hoped would get nations involved to stop israel.
the world is full of people so self absorbed (with and without justification) that if it takes a priviledged white girl getting beaten to get attention, so be it
Greta knows this and is exactly the reason she is doing it... putting her own well being at risk for this cause... I suspect the biggest risk you'd take is falling from that high horse
the way I see it, yes but this is worth paying attention to is that this seems to be an escalation. Greta is white and privileged, sure, but she is those things and she is famous. Like anything that happens to her will garner mainstream attention. And if something if they do really bad to her (like kill or SA her) it will put a huge negative spotlight on them in a way I dont think they realize. Like Charlie Kirk was a racist dickhead with tiny face memes for years but my dad didnt ask me who he was until like 2 weeks ago.
One reason this has more impact than it seems like it should is the flotilla was comprised of citizens of other nations.
It's human nature to care more about you and yours than someone else, even if you do also care about someone else, and this triggers that feeling, where Israelis committing genocide against Palestinians do not.
I just hope something comes of it.
Something has already come from it. That something doesn't have to be the end of Zionism though to make it meaningful.
The totality of all action will be what brings about Zionisms death. From the single protest with 50 people you went to. From the BDS movement. From the blockade from Yemin. From the flotillas. From the small win against Microsoft recently. From all of it, and more, Zionism will end one day.
Do not feel disheartened by not meeting the end goal or even making noticable progress for each individual action. Feel inspired by the acts of defiance to also take action in what ever way you are capable of.
Caring for Greta should be first priority @AlecSadler
Identifying and prosecuting her abusers, a close second.
Why "little Greta" she is a grown woman of 22 years. I don't understand what this infantilization of her is supposed to achieve.
Having said that it's definatelly a warning to others that thy don't care how famous you are, you better bring firing power, because just counting on other peoples outrage doesn't work anymore.
Pretty sure in this case "little" is in reference to her small stature not her age.
Not sure if it's the same quote or the same person who said it, but another quote was literally calling her a "child"
I see
Greta is less than 1.5 metres tall @jeena
For a 22-year old, that's "little".
The Zionists evidently want to break her. They want the world to see her broken.

While the gender identity of Greta's abusers is unknown for the moment, an acquaintance has just come up with an apt term for any who present as male:
Particularly
Pathetic
Pseudo-male.
Global fascist media has been fomenting a lynch mob a against random activist for the last decade. Here's the result. That coupled with the absolute failure to recognize the nature of the evil she feels compelled to expose.
