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.

I’ll save you the trouble. The majority of the arguements fall into the usual categories it’s “performative”, “it won’t matter any way”, “it’s a ‘war’ zone”, they’re all just “taking pleasure cruises on yachts” that “they aren’t even carrying aid”, that “Greta’s just a rich spoiled brat and it’s European rich kids having fun” etc. And of course the full fledged backing of Israel(which is basically confessing Israel has an obligation to provide for “their” territory and are failing to do so).
Basically “DiRtY HipPiESssssssss” is their “strongest” counter-arguement. The rest are just proving the point how ridiculous Israel is and how world governments are complicit.
Wow the propaganda machine is whirring itself into a conniption over Thunberg.
