Israeli thugs.

@aral

The USA has seen a growing demographic that is angered that a foreign country humiliates their nation. And that force is growing in political power, to the extent that even Trump is starting to accomodation them.

Question is - will such a force arise I Europe? Angered that their apparently "great history" countries are subservient to, and regularly humiliated by, a manufactured entity called Israel.

And will that force emerge from progressives, or will it be left to the right again?

@aral @pluralistic This second flotilla shows the wrongness of Greta’s critics over the years. She knows her notoriety will bring attention, but it also makes her a target for abuse or worse by the Israelis. They have murdered flotilla passengers before, no reason they won’t do it again: https://www.aol.com/news/joining-deadly-2010-gaza-flotilla-180441586.html

But she does it anyways, the Israelis have every reason to silence her and she immediately joins a second flotilla, I am not that brave. She is a leader who has earned respect.

@aral ”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”

Far-right normative behaviour checks out. ✅

@aral

“‘They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag.

A state of distilled absolutist Evil Ghouls.

Israel wonders about the rise of antisemitism,

they should not be.

THE WORLD WILL NEVER FORGET THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA

NEVER FORGET MISTREATMENT

STARVATION OF INNOCENT MEN WOMEN CHILDREN

BOMBING SHOOTING DESTRUCTION
OF A FLOURISHING PALESTINE

I AM DEEPLY ASHAMED TO BE OF JEWISH DESCENT

@aral what.

@aral if this is not an act of war against Europe, I don't know what they have to do to make people wake up 🙈🤷‍♀️

@aral
If this is true, it’s deeply horrifying and inhumane. No one—especially a young activist—should ever face such treatment for standing up for justice and peace. Acts like this only deepen the pain and reveal how far humanity has fallen. We stand with every voice silenced by oppression.

@aral Thiago and Emma have gone on hunger and water strike this morning.

@aral I read this yesterday and felt sick. I then spoke with some people about it and was disgusted to find they had zero sympathy and called her an idiot for going there.
"Why would she get involved in something she has no stake in?" They said.
"Why would a human care about human rights?" I answered.
They said she did it for fame!
What are these people watching and reading that they had ZERO CLUE that a flotilla even existed but are able to state "she does it for fame" and turn a blind eye?

@aral I don't understand... why does our "political class" in the EU continues to accept the misdeeds of the Israeli regime. What happened to the flotilla is a valid reason for war. (not that I say we should start a war with Israel)

@aral I don't think Greta is little anymore. Having said that; this kind of treatment is appalling.

Where do European countries draw the line? Where is the dignity? When does this cruel charade stop?
