      Gaza aid flotilla in the title. Not Greta’s flotilla. Her name is there because she’s the most well known person there, probably and also because not everyone was arrested.

      It says in the article

      The Global Sumud Flotilla said most of its vessels were continuing their journey as of early Thursday morning, nearing the coast of the Gaza strip despite the interruptions.

        Mind you, whilst you are totally right, The Guardian have long been “fucking Zionists” and even now that they toned down their overt support of the Genocide, still are “fucking Zionists” judging by their continued practices of framing both sides differently, such as how in their articles Israelis “are killed” whilst Palestinias merely “die”.

      I’m a Guardian reader and I would say in recent months they have taken a largely pro-Palestinian viewpoint. For example: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/02/palestinians-killed-in-fresh-wave-of-israeli-attacks-on-gaza

      Parts of Gaza are experiencing famine because of an Israeli blockade, while more than half a million people have been displaced south by bombing over the past six weeks. Israel insists there is no famine, contrary to the findings of most global aid bodies. Israel’s military campaign in Gaza has killed at least 66,200 Palestinians and wounded about 170,000, according to the Gaza health authority.

      That doesn’t sound like Zionist propaganda to me, it sounds like an accurate tally of the suffering that Israel is causing.
