Greta Thunberg’s Instagram post made in collaboration with GSF Steering Committee member Yasemin Acar, and several other pro-Palestinian Global Sumud Flotilla ‘activists’, contained data and pictures of Palestinians in Israeli custody.
The Israeli authorities released a video showing Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg donning Kefiyah and pro-Palestine T-shirt. While the ships were still in international waters, Israeli naval forces boarded some of the flotilla's ships on Wednesday, about 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. Activists on board said the flotilla had been travelling north of Egypt when it entered what Israel called a "high-risk zone."
From climate strikes to her recent Gaza flotilla gimmick, Greta Thunberg has long been doing performative gestures devoid of any depth to bolster her image as a beacon of hope and justice while conveniently sidestepping the complexities of the very causes she claims to champion.
Among the most controversial figures on board is French MEP Rima Hassan. Notably, she has previously defended Hamas’s 7 October terror attack on Israel as “legitimate” and has been barred from entering Israel for promoting the BDS campaign and glorifying violence.
A man walked up to Greta Thunberg and said he is at the event for climate demonstration and not politics after she had invited a Palestinian to speak at the climate protest.
In March this year, Thunberg deleted her old 2018 tweet where she had said humanity would go extinct by 2023 because of climate change. However, she failed to provide any explanation for deleting the tweet.
On December 28, Tate posted a video on Twitter in which he could be seen enjoying Cigars and Pizza. Reports claim that the box of Pizza displayed in Tate's video helped authorities in ascertaining that he was in Romania which led to his arrest.
