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 always found her vaguely annoying but tbh that just means she’s good at what she does because the whole purpose of activism is to make people uncomfortable with the status quo. Like ugh I know the world is a raging dumpster fire but can I just finish this day in stardew?

        You should do a bit of study and up your comprehension. What I think you meant is that you don’t agree with their opinion but what you said is you don’t understand a pretty simple idea.
