    It says the boat was carrying her, and later says she planned to board later that day. Plus the headline. Confusing.

        No, bad journalism. This is an important, overlooked, under covered story. I don’t particularly care about Thuneberg or her location, but Israel bombing humanitarian aid ships should be much more widely reported.

            It does make sense. But only if you accept certain facts about the morality of the Israeli administration.

              Even if you are evil as fuck, there are better and dare I say, cheaper, options to commit your war crimes.

      also Greta is a well known climate activist… now trying to keep herself famous by almost riding boats to israel….

      it is very important, but i see no reason to listen to her about this.

      in fact, attaching her name to this is extremely counterproductive….

        She is both a climate activist and advocate for Palestinian liberation, and framing her risking her life to demonstrate solidarity with the Palestinians as a shallow attempt at staying famous is incredibly ignorant and arrogant.

          arrogant, just looking for big words now?

          did you notice her name hasn’t been in the news for a while? climate change didn’t stop being a problem…

          she’s sticking her face into something she has no expertise with… why wasn’t she on the boat then? risking your life isn’t that noble if you’re not doing anything with it. she’s not good at navigating boats or unloading them, she has no callouses on her hands… she has no purpose for being on that boat other than symbolism

            This is ridiculous. What would Greta have to do to earn your respect, huh? You’re really gonna ask “why wasn’t she on the boat” as if she planned for the humanitarian aid vessel to be drone striked the day before she was going to board it? The fuck are you doing?

        She lives in the woods and scavenges for pine beetles and bark for nourishment. She really cares, and she isn’t being groomed to be a politician who gets kickbacks for green washing.
