I don’t think, that’s true. During food distribution, multiple people got killed during the last weeks. There was no realistic way of entering the warzone. In the end, one of them gets killed by one of the war parties that claims, the other one did it… There is nothing to win for Israel in this case. They could just let a truck waiting im front of the boarder drive in. That’d help more.
Of course they hoped to get media attention, that’s what Greta does, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t on a true humanitarian mission to get aid into Gaza as well.
A single small sailboat with barely any cargo capacity and with 12 activists on board, is enough evidence to determine that this is just a publicity stunt. The group claims to have taken different types of supplies as aid, but they didn’t give specific numbers. The only ones that I could find with numbers were 100kg of flour, 250kg of rice, and 600 diapers. Keep in mind, that’s 2 50kg bags of flour, 5 50kg bags of rice, and 3 large boxes of diapers. You could fit the amounts they’ve taken for these 3 supplies in the back of a typical pickup truck. The supplies on the ship are clearly just symbolic.
Tankies have got new matching orders. We’re supposed to be very enraged and upset and afraid and respectful of Greta. They very much want us to be supporters of genocide as well if we don’t display the proper sackcloth and ashes or participate in the 3 minutes hate.
Yes, it’s a PR stunt. I do sympathize with Greta and the rest. They’re trying but it’s tilting at windmills.
Anyhow, yeah, stick me in a concentration camp with my family and some shiny people show up? I’m looking for any angle to save my family, including taking hostages and killing anyone I have to.
Yes, you’re exactly right. The only thing Gaza has that they can use as leverage are the hostages, and when 12 new ones show up right at their doorstep, are they going to let the opportunity pass them by? Of course not. The activists themselves understand this which is why they didn’t make a real effort to actually land. The point is to generate media attention by getting intercepted.
You would think this is common sense, but people on this site lack it. The sheer amount of users here who are simply incapable of even explaining their positions is baffling.
They were arrested in international waters, we cannot know if an attempt to land would be made because there was never an opportunity to do so. No “real effort” can be made to land when you’re more than 13 miles from shore
Wasn’t that the plan in the first place, to get media attention?
There was no other realistic option.
the original plan was:
Israel would see them and say, “fine, go ahead and bring food to palestine”.

If they arrive to gazathey would definitely be killed by the idf terrorists not hamas
It literally doesn’t matter, they’re not going to step foot into an active war zone. The purpose of this whole stunt is get media attention.

Media attention to israel effectly always been in control of gaza and refusing basic aid to enter anxillegally controlled area.
What utter nonsense!
What part is untrue?
The entire take, rooted in a blatantly racist and frankly insane fantasy of Palestinian society.
How do you even come up with this level of unhinged speculation entirely disconnected from reality?
This literally just a bunch of meaningless word salad. You either actually explain your disagreement or concede that you have nothing.
