An estimated Twenty-seven ships to set sail for Gaza from multiple ports to break Israel’s siege on the enclave.
This will be activist Greta Thunberg’s second mission, having been taken captive by Israel earlier this year when her ship and fellow crew members were sprayed with illicit chemicals and boarded unlawfully in international waters. The Handala and her crew also suffered a similar fate earlier this summer.
Dozens of people gathered on Saturday at the port of Barcelona where a flotilla will set sail for Gaza on Sunday. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg is hoping to break… the naval blockade imposed by Israel along the coast of the Gaza Strip since 2007… (AP video and production by Hernan Munoz)

Well if they make it into Gaza then the likelihood they survive decreases dramatically, but I hope their journey is as successful as it is noble
Why? You’re not implying Gazans mean them harm are you? I know more than one family that would lay down their lives to defend people like this. They’re not idiots. They absolutely understand the optics and global importance of this style of activism.
I definitely understood their comment as “Israel claims everyone in Gaza as Hamas, so they’re more likely to die from a random airstrike than they are at sea”
Ok. I hope that’s the case. I don’t mean to be defensive. It just seems that’s often the implication with these kind of remarks.
Definitely the case, sorry for not being more clear
I’m hoping they can avoid the terror and death that Israel is wreaking on so many civilians and journalists
I reread it and I think I was just triggered and my brain skipped the whole picture. That was my mistake. I’m used to navigating more hostile online environments.
No worries 😊

They have shot at Reuters and killed a guy, when they knew that they were known to them. They knew about that Reuters crew for days. Then they killed them.

LOL no it was completely made up. Everybody they shoot is hamas, regardless of if they have identified them or not.

I mean let’s not forget the World Central Kitchen Workers. They’ll use the same pattern they always do whether aid workers, hospitals, schools, medical staff or journalists:
I mean they had no problem killing non-palestinan reporters and aid workers so what makes you think they’ll care about Greta or any blowback. Greta is already demonized by right leaning news sources.

No lol once they are inside Israel borders that’s going to be an airstrike from the IDF for sure.
Edit oh next guy said already
