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.
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.
