I don’t know if this was the one, but Greta Thunberg decided not to go on the ship last minute. They could’ve killed one of the greatest activists of this century.
Edit: It was.
Double edit: Wikipedia also mentions this.
She is planning on sailing on the second attempt.
Since the UN won’t do anything
https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/04/1161736
Perhaps maybe Sweden / the EU may step up if a Swedish citizen is killed live from an Israeli drone strike. I hope it doesn’t come to that, but Israel is a bunch of monsters doing the classical human thing of blaming their lust for violence and their greed for land on the god they created.
I can almost guarantee you that if it happened Greta would be labeled an agent of Hamas to justify murdering her.
Mossad killed an unarmed 19-year-old American citizen after boarding one of these ships over a decade ago, and absolutely nothing was done. Sweden generally seems more reasonable than America, but I still don’t have high hopes they or the EU would do the right thing if Greta was martyred in this way.
Reminder that Israel is Europe’s baby (along with USA, Canada & Austrailia). You think there’s going to be a response ?

That seems inefficient. We should come up with a final solution. Wait…
Where did you read she wasn’t going to sail? Everything I read said she was going out on both ships
Is she one of the greatest activists? We haven’t been slowing down on our destruction
I guess she should give up trying then!
I just think the term “greatest activists” should be applied to people who have had successes. She has not had any significant success.
She is very well known and brings a lot of publicity wherever she goes. This publicity is important for the movement to succeed.
She is well known but not successful. Creating publicity makes no difference if it does not affect change.
IMO our “greatest activists” would be successful. Bono, of U2, is one of the biggest advocates for HIV and AIDS reduction/treatment. He has been very successful at encouraging action on this issue I would call him a great activist. Thuneberg has been largely ignored.
“Great activist” Bono has been mostly silent on the ongoing genocide in Gaza for the past 20 months.
The “great activist” has been releasing tepid statements running cover for genocidal Israel as he continues his strong financial ties with the country doing ethnic cleansing in broad daylight.
Could’ve predicted that from this turd.
Same category as Sean Penn.
All the same paid shills.
Can’t shut up when an enemy of the west can be critiised and crawl under a rock when they commit warcrimes.
Worst is Amal Clooney, whose job it is to supposedly investigate warcrimes.
Apparently she has been ‘too busy’ for more than a year to do or say anything about Palestine.Just look at that website: https://cfj.org/
The most obscure conflicts, Kashmir, Maledives or whatever.
Somehow they overlooked one. Painfully obvious.The activism I highlighted him being successful in is his HIV activism. Is he obligated to represent every single issue you find important or does he have the right to make his own choices?
Bono has seen success in his endeavors. Thuneberg has seen little to no success so I don’t think we should be calling her “the greatest” as the greats are successful.
She nabbed Andrew Tate
The fact she has massive & active anti-propaganda and/or blackout by all the major news agencies sounds like she is being treated as a very real & successful threat.
The fact that she’s no longer a media focus is because she’s anti-capitalist not because she has achieved anything.
Results matter at some point. There aren’t participation trophies for activism.
… there are trophies in activism?
People doing it for the right reasons wouldn’t care, people caring about such causes wouldn’t really award activists unless for like a lifetime achievement award. I’m guessing, I don’t know.
Palau revoked its flag from the Conscience prior to the attack, and authorities in Malta, Greece and Turkey have threatened to confiscate the ship if it comes to port.[14]
Why?
If you read through the article, the whole situation reeks of IDF and Mossad just flexing, using misinformation, all their classic playbooks engaged to garner support for the genocide and accelerate human death and suffering
I did and it does, I’m asking why these other states did what they did. Makes no sense, unless they had advance notice or were complicit, unless I’m missing something.
That’s what I mean by Mossad. Show up unannounced to someone making the decision. Show photos of their wife and kids from a sniper nest. Walk out of the room. Shit like that is their MO.
Greece in general though just can’t get enough of that genocide
A mid 2024 poll shows that 61% of Greeks consider Israel an ally of Greece, which is one of the most positive ratings in the world post Gaza War.
You know, I heard stories like that a long time ago (20+ years) and forgot. Thank you for reminding me
From what I understand you can’t just take off from a port without a flag, that is, to sail in international waters your vessel must be registered to a country and the registration process takes time during which you have to just sit there and wait.
I think I have probably heard that before. At any rate, it all makes sense now. Thank you.
Pressure from the Trump administration.
They will be setting off on another sailing soon.
“Per our last sea-faring vessel…”
Israel is a terrorist state and everyone just gives them a pass because BuT mUh HoLoCaUsT
Israel weaponized German’s war crimes to enable their own war crimes and Germans will along with it.
This behaviour trivializes war crimes
Germany is making bank out of sending weapons there. You don’t even need to talk about the holocaust. They’re a bunch of hypocrits.
Amazing how they had a huge national discussion about arming Ukraine. They said that it would be bad optics to supply arms that will kill Russians due to the legacy of ww2
🤡
You just learnt that? Well let me tell you a tale of the USS Liberty…
Bringing up this ship on reddit would get your comment removed and you would be labelled as Anti-Semite.
I am sure it still happens but at least now Americans recognize that Israel is the enemy abusing our friendship.
birds of a feather
If that’s not terrorism then I’m not sure what is
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition said it would use another boat, named the Madleen, to continue its mission to deliver aid to Gaza. It hoped “to challenge Israel’s criminal blockade and help establish a sea corridor to Gaza that is not controlled by the Israeli occupier”
I feel sorry for Israeli who are against this war. They will just have to barricade in their country for a long time unless there is two state solution. Also Palestinian needs to find a better leader.
But I think Israeli just don’t want Arab around them
the door closed a long time ago on Israel ever tolerating the idea of a 2 state solution, they’re openly stating their intentions to expunge and exterminate now. and have been doing so for the last year
The more I learn about how israel was founed the more convinced I am that the genocide was always the plan, we just now confirming it because they are actually doing it.
Not surprised. I had Israeli friends and coworker. Since this war started, I have to keep myself away from them. What if I am next just because I am not Jewish.
shame. cause they are surrounded by Arabs and would do well to make better neighbours. there are politicians older than the state of Israel and things can change quickly
There’s no evidence that this attack was a product of israel
All just guesses
AIPAC isnt going to fuck you bro
AIPAC needs to be forced to register as a foreign agent. Enough of these clowns cosplaying being “American”
They’re a tiny percentage controlling our government.

No offense. But literally no one else but Israel has the motive and means to know exactly where an Palestinian aid ship is to attack it with drones.
Its like watching a ship filled with Burger King hamburgers get assaulted with Big Macs, and you want to say there’s no evidence the attack was a product of McDonald’s.
Who else hates Burger King and has Big Macs? Who else hates Palestine and has drones?
It’s certainly not an individual like the hamburglar as the attack was too sophisticated, so that doesn’t leave a lot of other plausible explanations does it?
The wikipedia article sais that we don’t know. Should I trust you mpre than a wikipedia article?
I’m not saying anything.
I’m pointing out the painfully obvious fact that of the 15 or so countries that have the technology, information, and resources needed to conduct this kind of attack, only one also has a motive and enough budget to spend on the needless destruction of supplies and aid.
Which other country would pay the bill for this kind of attack? Unless you can name someone else, there’s only one answer I can think of.
Wikipedia also has a bunch of articles about how OJ Simpson was found innocent of murdering his wife. And thats enough to convince you it wasn’t him?
There’s no evidence that this comment is written by a hasbara operative.
yeah it was just a random drone attack. Happens all the time, I think the reptilians are behind this
Sigonella is right there, there’s no way they don’t know who did it

“Not confirmed who exactly did it” and “there os no denial” do form quite the contrast

For all we know it could’ve been any country. There are many countries with a interest in causing instability.
