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)

Absolutely. The media bias is terrible.
I believe the Freedom Flotilla site posted an interview he did with ABC News where he was able to briefly recounts the horrific racism and assault he endured at the hands of the Israelis. Thanks for raising his name again. More people need to hear what he experienced.
Anyone who hasn’t seen it should go give it a watch and a listen.
Edit: to add to your expanded post. I agree Smalls is largely ignored by liberal media but I think his action and involvement reaches to others that Greta can’t. Greta is also selectively called upon when it suits their bias. We need everyone. He took on extra inherit risks and he deserves every bit of credit and validation for that fact. And I think he’s exposed more Israeli lies about how “tolerant” and “progressive” they are socially. Completely ignoring they have massive problems with racism and homophobia in their ranks and society.
