    People say it’s a publicity stunt. Well so what. Greta knows if she goes, cameras and reporters will follow. It’s the same thing Lady Diana did when traveling to 3rd world nations…she knew that she alone wouldn’t make a difference, but the cameras and reporters that follow her would.

    Greta is doing what most of us only discuss…helping. and if she helps by keeping Isreal’s hypocrisy in the news, then she wins.

      They one who says that are troll because it is not a Publicity stunt when you are going to the door steps of a fascist military organization that have no regards of any human life “including their own” and will not hesitate shooting you down or imprisoned you for unknown time.

      Shortly before the IDF bombs another Reuters photojournalist team, sure.

      and if she helps by keeping Isreal’s hypocrisy in the news, then she wins.

      If she really wanted to help, she’d be campaigning for Kamala Harris for President.

      That’s what I’m told Palestinians actually want.

        blockade stops 50 ships just as easily, these are not blockade running ships.

          That makes a bigger headline, and shows more and more people care about the Palestinian people.

          Is there a downside here? Why are people upset by this concept?

          Just because powerful bullies are unlikely to lose, doesn’t mean it’s not worth defying them.

    I don’t get the criticism. They either get the food through or the press following her is going to film the Israeli navy blocking the food from entering the shore.

          Haaa…there’s MANY boats mate. Not sure how you missed that. Dozens. What would you call a group of boats? I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t call it a boat of boats.

            What would you call a group of boats?

            I’m being told by the IDF that a group of boats carrying food and medical aid is called a “publicity stunt”.

            I’m also being told it’s Hamas.

            Yea original comment is funny. Definition of flotilla is a group of boats with a purpose. Not sure what else they would be calling it.

      I’m mobile and can’t verify anything, but if you trust a goggle AI Overview then here you go.

      The word “flotilla” originates from the Spanish word flotilla, a diminutive form of flota meaning “fleet”. This, in turn, came from Old French floter and ultimately Germanic roots, like Old Norse floti (“raft, fleet”) and Old English flota (“ship” or “fleet”), which are ancestors of the English word “float”. The English term “flotilla” was adopted in 1711 and refers to a small fleet, especially of small naval vessels like destroyers or submarines. Here’s a breakdown of the word’s origin: Spanish: Flotilla (diminutive of flota, meaning “fleet”). Old French: Floter (“to float, set afloat”). Germanic: Old Norse floti (“raft, fleet”) and Old English flota (“ship, fleet”). Indo-European: Traced back to the root pleu- (“to flow”). The English word “flotilla” was first recorded in 1711.

      I guess it’s enough boats to make a floating villa? There’s something in there that I’m sure a 16th century language historian could figure out.

      1. Pawn are very important piece in chess, most of the time you lose one you lose the game.
      2. Pawn becomes any other piece when it reach its destination including a Queen.
      3. that is a lame comment that makes no sense.

        Pawns are the first pieces to be sacrificed in a game of chess. How deep did you go to pull out this comment?

        Maybe the first to loose a pawn in game are statisticaly more prone to loosing. But that’s will be Tue reason of being the worse players not that the piece in itself is so important.

      “The J’s”.

      Yeah, we can tell who you are here. You sound like an antisemite if you’re going with that approach.

      Not all Jewish people in the world are for this genocide. Israel is commiting this atrocity, not every Jewish person.

        But a majority of Israeli’s and their cousin’s support this genocide. Or Bibi wouldn’t be so influential in their culture.

        I can’t say the J word because people get upset. I’m a genetic J btw. I live inside of this hate bubble. Encircled by people who preach death to Islam at all costs. And I didn’t come out hating people. I just dislike all religions of all forms. They are simply a death cult. All of them.

          Jesus fucking christ dude grow a spine. Israeli govt, religious fanatics (literally any religion suffers from this btw), and obscenely rich fuckwads are the problem. Shit just happened to occur in a Jewish country. Has absolutely nothing to do with “the Jews” you fucking retard.

            I’m not saying “The Jews”. I’m saying that a majority of the Jewish community supports this genocide. As I have witnessed for decades in my own family and culture.

            A recent YouTuber was flown around Gaza and now is a mouth piece for the IDF. Because they showed him how a small minority of Gaza’s were working with Hamas planning the October 20th murders. He now thinks because a few people gave intel to Hamas. That Israel is ok to do what they are doing.

            It’s insane the amount of psychological warfare going on and people can’t see through the bullshit.

    She was in Norway like a week ago. Woman’s busy.

    She would be better of protesting in Saudi Arabia or stopping some russian shadow fleet ships before supplying the Russian war machine.

    We got the Temu version of a radical protestant instead.
