Greta Thunberg deported, Israel says, after Gaza aid boat intercepted

 (kidnapped huh?aa They gave her a sandwich and tried to make her watch some hasbara movie about Oct7th complete with all the lies they could come up... and then sent her home I am am sure... coach)

from the BBC

Israel says it has deported Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg, a day after the Gaza-bound aid boat she and 11 other people were on was intercepted by Israeli forces in the Mediterranean.

Thunberg departed Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning on a flight to France after she agreed to be deported, the Israeli foreign ministry said.

Upon arriving at an airport in Paris, Thunberg accused Israel of illegally kidnapping her and other activists on the boat while they were in international waters.

France said five of the six French citizens detained alongside her had refused to sign their deportation orders and would now be subject to judicial proceedings...

Greta and the Selfie Flotilla Run Aground: It Was a Stunt and Needs to be Called Out as Such

Greta Gets Some Attention

by Scott Creighton

 

Folks on the fakie left are praising Greta for all the attention she is bringing to the genocide so I thought I would contextualize it for you.

Parkrose Permaculture and other lefties out there are praising the great Greta for 'bringing attention to' the situation in Gaza.

The situation in Gaza doesn't need attention as it's the most highly publicized campaign of genocide in history. 

What they needed was food, water, medicine, building materials, medical equipment. They needed help. But Greta Thunberg's 'Selfie Boat' stunt never intended to deliver anything to them other than attention.

Question is: attention to whom? 

Here she is receiving a sandwich from the IDF after her luxury yacht was boarded. The thought of what a Gazan mother would do for that little meal to give to her kids should have made Greta weep in shame. 

Instead... this is what we got along with the headlines like 'The Greta photo that exposes the hollowness of Leftie activism'.


 

But still the identity politics is strong with this one.

Freedom Flotilla or Thunberg Rebranding Cruise?

Let's take a look at the 2025 Freedom Flotilla: 2025 Grifters of the Year Award?  https://nomadiceveryman.blogspot.com/2025/06/lets-take-look-at-2025-freedom-flotilla.html

Let's take a look at the 2025 Freedom Flotilla: 2025 Grifters of the Year Award?

by Scott Creighton

Let's take a look at the 2025 Freedom Flotilla.

On board:

Greta Thunburg: Spoiled child used as a prop by PR guy to be the face of young people in support of the WEF's Global Warming campaign. 'How dare you?' she growled, just like her mother the actor coached her. Greta is getting older, the Global Warming thing is no longer the cause de jour it used to be so now she suddenly cares about Palestinian children. 


 

Rima Hassan: politician, ex-pat from Syria, mother ran off to France and later at age 9 Rima joined her. 'There will be no 2-state solution' 'She condemned equally "Hamas' war crimes", "Israel's impunity", and the "genocide" of the Palestinians'  "the solution is a democratic and secular bi-national state."[37] Explaining herself later, she specified that she "dreams" of a bi-national state with peaceful coexistence of Palestinians and Israelis, and is in favor of the two-state solution...' 

Yasemin Acar: she has an Instagram account.  Here she is posing on the boat.


 

She looks like she is having a good time. For contrast, here is a photo taken on the Marvi Marmara on the night before the deadly Israeli raid back in May of 2010.


 

Seems to be a more... serious mood on board don't you think? Not a lot of selfies and Instagram video shoots taking place back then.

Istanbul marches in solidarity with Palestine, Mavi Marmara victims

from Daily Sabah

The Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) organized a march to commemorate those who lost their lives in Israel's attack on the Mavi Marmara ship 14 years ago and to protest against the genocide in Gaza.

Hundreds of people gathered at Beyazıt Square, wearing keffiyehs around their necks and carrying posters saying "Free Palestine" along with Turkish and Palestinian flags and banners with the phrase "Until Palestine is free."

Throughout the march, the crowd chanted slogans such as "Free Palestine from the river to the sea," "Mavi Marmara is our honor," "The name of resistance is Mavi Marmara," and "Israel, the killer, America, the collaborator," while also carrying banners commemorating those who lost their lives in the Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara ship on May 31, 2010.

The march ended at Ayasofya Square, where the Quran was recited...
