Greta Thunberg Invades Gaza Again

Greta Thunberg

Israel is reportedly planning to throw Greta Thunberg in a terror cell as the environmental activist today launched a second Gaza-bound 'Freedom Flotilla'. 

Thunberg, 22, is launching the Global Sumud Flotilla from Barcelona.

The environmentalist will be making the journey along with Liam Cunningham, the Game of Thrones actor, and Ada Colau, the former mayor of Barcelona, among others. 

The move comes just weeks after she was detained in international waters by Israel. 

Her first attempt to reach Gaza in June after setting off from Italy was thwarted by Israeli forces, who boarded the vessel in international waters and detained her. 

She and 11 passengers were taken to Israel, and given the choice to be deported or arrested. 

Now, dozens of other ships are expected to set sail for Gaza from Tunisia and other ports in the Mediterranean Sea on September 4 to join the Global Sumud Flotilla.

But Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, is planning to present Israeli Prime Minister Benjmin Netanyahu with a plan to detain the activists in harsh 'terrorist-level' conditions in the Ktzi'ot and Damon detention centres for females, according to Israel Hayom.

The plan also includes seizing dozens of vessels and using them to establish a 'maritime force for police operations'.

Israel Hayom quoted individuals close to Ben-Gvir saying: 'Following several weeks at Ktzi'ot and Damon, they'll be sorry about the time they arrived here. We must eliminate their appetite for another attempt.' 

Ahead of the departure from Barcelona port, Thunberg told Iranian Press TV that the flotillas aim to 'break Israel's siege on Gaza and open up a people's humanitarian corridor'

The activist said that more than 26,000 people signed up to join the mission to break the siege on Gaza.

She said: 'This project is part of a global uprising."

In 2010 a Gaza-bound aid flotilla was raided by Israeli special forces, killing eight Turkish activists.

In a statement, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said: 'The IDF enforces the security naval blockade on the Gaza Strip and is prepared for a wide range of scenarios, which it will act upon in accordance with the directives of the political echelon.' 

'For this case as well, we are prepared,' IDF spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said. 'We have gained experience in recent years, and we will act accordingly.'

Israel's MFA mocked the activist's 'selfie yacht' carrying 'celebrity' activists.

'Greta and others attempted to stage a media provocation whose sole purpose was to gain publicity.'

Greta Thunberg insisted she is not anti-Semitic as she set sail on her second 'freedom flotilla' to Gaza - nearly three months after she was deported on her first attempt.

The Swedish campaigner was detained by Israeli forces along with 11 others in June after they attempted to sail from Italy to the Palestinian enclave.

Their voyage was described by the Israeli foreign ministry as a publicity stunt by 'celebrity activists', referring to their flotilla - named the Madleen - as 'the selfie yacht'.

The activists, including Thunberg, were banned from Israel for 100 years.

Israel accused the activists of being anti-Semitic.

Prior to her deportation, Defence Minister Israel Katz said he'd instructed IDF officials to show the activists the full, unedited footage of the October 7 attacks as recorded by Hamas terrorist body cameras.

'It is appropriate that the anti-Semitic Greta and her fellow Hamas supporters see exactly who the Hamas terrorist organization they came to support and for whom they work is, what atrocities they committed against women, the elderly, and children, and against whom Israel is fighting to defend itself,' he said.

After the flotilla was intercepted, he told reporters: 'Greta and her flotilla companions were taken into a room upon their arrival to the screening of the horror film of the October 7 massacre... when they saw what it was about, they refused to continue watching.

'The anti-Semitic flotilla members are turning a blind eye to the truth and have proven once again that they prefer the murderers to the murdered and continue to ignore the atrocities committed by Hamas against Jewish and Israeli women, adults, and children.'

After her deportation, Thunberg landed back home at Stockholm's Arlanda airport.

She was greeted by around 30 cheering supporters waving Palestinian flags amid a large media presence at the airport.
