Kinda a fools errand to expose one’s self in that crucible of violence but I do admire her courage and heart. certainly willing to put herself were her mouth is.

Not really. Everything is calculated for maximum publicity. She was not in harm's way and not in a "crucible of violence". You know who is? The drivers who a bringing in the truckloads of aid, and the workers at the aid distribution centers. Every day, medical and food aid is distributed. It is not reported on. The drivers and aid workers achieve far more  than Greta and her gang.

We whould not hate Israel. What they went through on October 7th was inhumane and horrific. Yes, they provoked it maybe, but both sides in this conflict are evil beyond words. 

 

They know not what they do.

Is that what Faux news is telling you to think?  Seems to me it's MAGA that obsesses about her, when they aren't shooting up churches, schools, and restaurants.  Sane people living in actual reality are too busy living their lives.

Israel would have been much wiser to have let the flotilla pass, but they couldn’t help but put one in the back of their own net.

 

While a handful of middle aged men vent their unhealthy fixation on a young woman, she’s winning the perception war with the demographic that follows her:

It could have been worse, vindictive idiots engaging in one handed keyboard skills as they suggest Israel should have sunk the boats with the crews on board haven’t the ability to picture what might be the international response.

 

Israel is hemorrhaging international support, piracy isn’t helping.

The problem is the people in Palestine have been brainwashed and dont want peace, all they want is for Israel to not exist.  

Watch this reporter speaking to normal people on the street in Palestine and how they feel about Israel. 

 

 

Reminds me of when some Woke American college group went to Palestine to help them and all the black students got mocked, called the N word, slaves etc. by the Palestinians.

 

Lucky it wasn't Queers for Palestine or it would have been a lot worse.

 

Lovely people those Palestinians. Still remember them dancing in the streets after 9/11.

There are talks in Israel to sink all the boats with whatever they have on them, if it was me, I'd sink the boats crews and all

Personally, I think the crew and hangers on of the flotilla were idiots.  But they were stopped in international waters and Israel already has enough problems without adding yet another crime to their extensive rap sheet CV.

 

And when the lawsuits are settled, somehow or another, American taxpayers will end up being on the hook to pay the plaintiffs.

Seems that the only way that aid gets to the people who need it is when Israel delivers it.
88% of the aid that the UN is supposed to deliver gets stolen!

Why? The USA had nothing to do with this. The aid is being unloaded in the Port of Ashkelon and being turned over to international aid agencies for distribution in Gaza, once the cargo is searched. No one was injured. Gaza declared war on israel. The closing of the waters around Gaza is a result of that war.

Perhaps it is because the estimated 150,000 dead in Darfur are black Africans and mostly Christian. The activists never seem too concerned by the   killing and famine in Darfur, nor do they say anything about the ongoing kidnapping and rape of the children in Niger and Nigeria by the islamic  militants.

That will be debated ad nauseum until the second coming (or the cows come home, whichever happens first).

 

I was referring to the suggestion that they sink other people's private property, taken in international waters.  Private property that apparently belongs to people from up to 40 countries.  That'll endear Israel...

We've been asking that since 1967.  Why are American taxpayers sending $billions to Israel every year?  Supporting a rogue regime that even sank one of our own ships, killing 34 American sailors.

I think the answer to that question is the 8x10 glossies of American politicians doing despicable things.

If the fleet were in international waters (and it seems that they were 70 miles away from Gaza as claimed in and earlier post) then it seems that it must be piracy, and state sponsored as well.

 

An AI response stated 

 

"Maritime Piracy: The act of robbery or criminal violence by attackers on ships, often to steal cargo, take hostages, or hijack the vessel itself. This is the traditional meaning of the term".
