I’m pro-Palestine but this whole boat with a symbolic amount of aid just screams of PR for the individuals to me and not actually highlighting or doing anything in aid of Palestine and Gaza

but what’s new? I feel like this is increasingly an issue

Hopefully they will force the forcers to watch the videos of the IDF shooting women and children afterwards. That evil country has gone over and beyond revenge at this point.
They would (sadly) enjoy watching it.

Every story in the papers is about her, it’s taken focus off the people suffering. It stinks of white saviour behaviour.

I don’t have a problem with her she’s a young kid trying to help the planet. I mean if she inspires other kids her age to be more aware of this stuff then that can only be a good thing right.
She's 22. Not a young kid. She's an overly entitled, obnoxious grievance goblin, primed by her parents to perform in the public square. Both parents are interesting to look at, one has family links to the Rothchilds, if I recall correctly. Hardly your average run-of-the-mill Joe Soaps.

Her bratish behaviour is excused for many reasons. When she needed a kick up the a as a child, to learn how to function as a member of society, she was praised as if she was some savant. She was the harbinger of the sanctimonious, self-righteous and selfish prats such as Just Stop Oil etc. Society works through diplomacy, discussion and agreement.That is breaking down partly because Thunberg and her ilk will have none of that. They have right on their side. Or so they think. They are actually just useful idiots sowing discord whilst other agendas are hidden out of sight by real politicians and various bad actors.

I don't have much time for Trump, but in his first term, he breezed right past her to talk to the adults and leaders in the room. The look on her poisonous little face makes me smile still. She needed more of that.

I've read 'at least she's doing something' as if this was some kind of acceptable and excusable reason. She is a private citizen of a European country. Who is she to assume she has the knowledge, the gravitas and the right to interfere in the politics of the Middle East? Her arrogance and ego are off the scale. She'll be enjoying the furore around her. All these narcissistic present day protester types do.

I cannot stand her or her kind.

The Israelis are treating her well. She might like to reflect on the alternative.

They played right into Israel's hands for PR

-Guide them away from evil Hamas
-Hand out fresh sandwiches and water to the silly little sailors
-Quick educational video on what Hamas has been up to the last few years
-Medical check for them all as they've had a tough journey in their little boat
-Fly them all home with a wave and a smile

yeah they played right into their hands and it’s more beneficial for Israel than it is for Pro-Palestine as I doubt this will change anyone’s mind massively whereas Israel can stick it to the doubting Zionists or whoever they are trying to appeal to

Apparently not all of them signed the deportation orders and some are or were waiting for a judicial review (or some other review) of the matter

I believe they all refused to watch the videos that Hamas took. Which is fair enough, no one should be forced to watch gore like that.
Oh she absolutely should have been made to watch it. Knowing what you are talking about is a basic expectation of those who think they are entitled to lecture the rest of us.

Nah only four (including Thunberg) opted to sign the deportation papers and be flown back to Europe. 8 others have chosen to stay and have their day in court.

I’m confused as to why anyone would have so much hate for someone who has at least tried to do something? The narrative I’m seeing is that these actions were impactful because it’s highlighted Israel’s illegal actions in international waters - holding back aid (regardless of how much or how little) for people suffering when they posed no threat? she’s banged on about change for the entire time she’s been in the public eye and going there herself is not some light jolly up - or are people suggesting things in Gaza aren’t as bad as they’re being made out to be?

what benefit is there for her to do this for PR? Are we forgetting how important social media is today? of course they need to post content around it, not just for awareness but for their safety.

And to the previous poster who ‘doesn’t have much time for trump’ and loved seeing her ‘poisonous little face’ i think you have some deep feelings to work through that do not pertain to Gaza or Greta.

Just to add, I’m not a huge greta fan but i support anyone that would use their platform to speak and support the people of Palestine.

Your post perfectly sums up the little tit pretty damn well.

What has this little mission actually achieved? I have mostly only heard about Greta or occasionally a few of the other activists throughout all of this. The moment they made this into a big name thing it was almost guaranteed that they would not be killed by Israel and instead arrested or pushed out - because whether you like it or not Israel is good at their PR game and can clearly make calculations on how much of an outrage a death of someone from the West would cause.

What has this little stunt done to further the Palestinian cause or to highlight anything? Even for the average person who perhaps doesn’t have a strong stance because they don’t know enough? It’s hardly made front news headlines, whereas the conflict has generally been in the headlines for the duration of the war and unlike Ukraine hasn’t fallen out for long stretches of time

Perhaps some people on that boat thought they were doing the right thing but Gretas whole thing is being arrested. PR doesn’t have to be good or bad, it just has to get you attention. In this case the attention is primarily on the activists and their “symbolic” amount of aid (read: this wasn’t some good faith humanitarian mission).

Yes, Greta has name recognition. That’s precisely why she/ they were on board. Their visibility creates a protective shield that might let them do what local or lesser-known activists can’t without lethal consequences. Three British Aid workers have already been killed by Israel.

The mission was meant to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Spain summoned the Israeli ambassador in protest.

Turkey condemned the interception as a violation of freedom of navigation.

Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Simon Harris praised the mission as “an incredible effort to get food and medicine to the starving people of Gaza.

Amnesty International and human rights bodies called the interception “illegal.”

For the average person, the mission may not dominate headlines, but it reinforces core questions: Why is aid still blocked?
