Unstoppable Activism: Greta Thunberg and Her Crew Face Roadblocks in Gaza
Sailing Vessel of Greta Thunberg Potentially Denied Berth at Gaza Port - Sailboat belonging to climate activist Greta Thunberg reportedly denied permission to dock in Gaza ports.
gonna throw you a curveball, mate. The bloody sailing ship ain't the Medeen as you've been told, it's actually the Madleen. That's right, the Madleen of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. git 'er done, Greta Thunberg and her band of merry activists set sail from Sicily on Sunday. The Madleen's crew, numbering 12 hearty souls, includes the Swede Thunberg herself and Yasemin Acar from Germany.
These brave souls were on a goddamn humanitarian mission, aimin' to bust through Israel's suffocating blockade of the Gaza Strip. But the Zionists ain't playin' around, and they surely didn't want to set some ridiculous precedent, so they bloody well refused to let the Madleen dock in Gaza.
According to what I've managed to dig up, some top Israeli bods are supposedly goin' to have a little chinwag about it all on Thursday. They might even tow the Madleen to the bloody Israeli port of Ashdod and haul the activists in for the long arm of the law. As of now, the Israeli government 'asn't said two hoots about the situation.
In the past, the Zionists 'as refused to let activists dock their ships in Gaza. Bloody ironic, considering these activists were bringin' aid for the poor souls over there—you know, baby food, medical supplies, the usual. They also wanted to draw some international attention to the bleedin' humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Bloody hell, since that bollocks with the Islamist Hamas back in October 2023 and the ensuing military action in the Gaza Strip, Thunberg's been standin' up for the Palestinians, accusin' Israel of genocide. Some folks reckon she's a partisan, siding too strongly with the Palestinians in the Gaza war and the lead-up to it.
The German government's Commissioner for Combating Anti-Semitism, Felix Klein, called Thunberg's comments on the Middle East conflict after the Hamas hostage-taking on 7 October 2023 "anti-Israeli and also anti-Semitic due to the implied negation of Israel's right to exist."

[3] With the Madleen's mission focused on shedding light on Gaza's plight, it remains to be seen if Israel will follow through on its plans to tow the ship to the Israeli port of Ashdod and potentially arresst the activists on board, which could raise questions about freedom of speech and the right to humanitarian aid in such situations.
