Just Curious Re: The Situation in Gaza

Is that the guy banging Greta?

Can you imagine what that boat smells like

 

[realgrimm]

I see Toronto isn't wasting anytime.. like these shitty protest do anything but annoy everyone around them, they never achieve anything here

Yup it does look like Idf has taken control of the flotilla

I don't know why this is even news. Greta is nothing but a spoiled brat that has nothing else to do other than wave her virtue signaling flag.

Have you ever stood toe to toe with an occupying army simply to offer food and water to the occupied, ready to be captured like she was? I don’t think anyone in this forum is willing to do what “spoiled” “retarded” Greta did.

I have no issues with Greta's stance and outspokeness on environmental issues. They are welcome and needed.
.Here, though, she's intervening in State matters not of her own country w/o authorization. I hope, and trust, she will be unharmed but she has no business doing what she is doing no matter how well intended her actions are.
If, for instance, there was private aid flotilla's sent to this country (US) to give aid to KKK under siege after they attacked/murdered private citizens and taking some hostage, would everyone not object?

The world can use a lot more Greta’s and fewer “Ragey’s.” Imho

I don’t believe the average Palestinian is a hamas commando anymore than I believe every American is a ready to commit violence trump supporter.

Be the tank man of Tienanmen Square.

Israel isn't her country. Rachel Corey found out. I hope Greta doesn't.
. Frankly, any "palestinian" who isn't hunting and killing...doing their part to dismantle and destroy hamas (or supporting those who do) is condoning and giving moral support to them. Simple fact is in a war zone you don't want a bunch of do-gooders getting in the way of flying lead, being used as shields, for propaganda, or being kidnapped and pawned etc.
Activities like medical and humanitarian aid do need to be controlled and monitored for safety and effectiveness.
.That only makes sense.
If Greta and her group wants to contribute money or other material aid through internationally organized and authorized groups that's fine, but sailing in on a schooner privately is just stupid. Anyone should recognize its lack of wisdom.

But she damn well knew that they were going to get stopped before reaching shore. She's not naive by any stretch. This was just a stunt. She'd get all the respect I could muster if she grew a pair and went to Beijing to give them the same "How dare you!?!?" speech that she gave at the U.N. At this point, she's pretty much a punchline.

She isn’t stupid and she accomplished a goal of keeping pressure on Israel

We can agree to disagree. She’s just a child with a small platform to try and leave the planet better than she found it.

I believe totally humans need to take way more responsibility for Mother Earth, in my lifetime rivers caught fire in America, and major industrial areas of America choked under soot filled skies, and Greta’s sin was to ask if that’s really necessary.

No she isn't, she's a slightly retarded attention whore.

You're deplorable.

I can respect her intentions, but she is going about it the wrong way.

Isn't she entitled to be young and stupid like most of us were at her age?

And most of us weren't trying to confront anything of any importance. I will cut her some slack for that alone.

I'm a little surprised she doesn't have a media advisor.

At least you and me are thinking about Gaza right now, even if we’re immune or uncaring to the suffering of the civilians of the Gaza Strip

The one thing I wonder about is with the demise of that field commander of Hamas, just how are the remaining leaders justifying the continuation of the fighting? Now is the right time for them to give up and disband.

Actually, you make an excellent point. It would do her wonders and she could be more effective.

At this point you have to wonder. But I can only imagine their reasoning not be all that different from Israel’s.

I don't think you have to be from any specific country to bring attention to an injustice.

"Never again" is supposed to mean something.
