I have a lot of respect for her and the people doing this. But I wish they wouldn't. This sounds like a Suicide Mission.

That's why very few people are able to do what she's doing, and why she's extremely brave to leverage that: she announced that's her ship, where she is and why she is there. Killing Greta would be the kind of media storm that Israel would not want to deal with, especially given their strategy of pretending criticism of peaceful beautiful Israel = being an antisemitic ass. Hard to keep this false dichotomy if you kill a generational icon.

Israel is a heartless genocidal monster of a nation. It doesn't give two shits for any "generational icon" and the US has already voiced support for drowning her. This is the worst timeline and icons don't matter to power.

It's not about what Israel cares about. She's an EU citizen of high repute and good money. Someone's gonna care if she dies to Israeli weaponry

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Here's hoping Israel doesn't murder her and here's hoping there are actual consequences if they do.

"Hamas did it."

"Oh, very well then"

There's an entire world out there beyond Israel and the US.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

And as I said, hope they do something about it

I don't think it'll work now. If Piers Morgan has flipped it means that the mainstream people are anti Zionists now.

Yeah there's a part of me that really didn't want him to do that because now I have to like something about that prat

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Some. But there's still a long ways to go, sadly.

She is insanely clever, courageous, and selfless playing chicken with the state of Israel like this. She knows that either she succeeds in delivering aid to Palestine, or her death sparks a backlash that could be the tipping point for the rest of the world to get off their ass and do something.
