“‘They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,’ the Turkish activist Ersin Çelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.
Lorenzo D’Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was ‘wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy’ – a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.”

@aral I do not find this surprising, with what I read from the current Israël government. Checks with their civilization level. (Though I understand she was not burned, poisened nor any bones broken. There's even more imaginable)
What ís relevant and news to me: when released, #Gretha did not want to talk about her treatment to journalists, but about why she went in the flotilla: #gazagenocide That is what she wants to be discussed. Not her treatment. Let's honor that.
