Greta Thunberg, in a video posted on social media, said she and other members of the Freedom flotilla en-route to Gaza have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. This comes after the Daily Mail reported that several Israeli vessels surrounded the ship Madleen, prompting the crew to raise an alarm.

Thunberg shared a pre-recorded video appealing for international help. “My name is Greta Thunberg, and I am from Sweden,” she said in the clip. “If you see this video, we are being intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel. I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible.”

  • Why the fuck did she even go there? Did she think she would make a difference? She would be better off trying to become a military officer, and prepare defenses against future Israel invasion.

      Or she could be using her celebrity to draw attention to something going on in the world that doesn’t have enough attention shined on it maybe?

      • People KNOW! They are just racist and don’t care about the victims in Gaza.

        We need another approach. The world no longer cares how many bodies it pilles

          • Independence, sovereignty, just making it as hard as possible to kill and oppress.

            Overall, never play by their rules. You will never get anything done by begging the psychopaths in charge to stop hurting you. Telling them how much you are suffering, only spurs them on. You can’t count on democracy or the goodness of people either. There is no law and order.

            Gaza is probably doomed. You have to prepare yourself to defend your own life.

              That’s not within the average joe and activists power to do

      She’s pitting the swedish embassy against the israeli government. If more people did it there would be one less genocide.

      • Fuck that! If you are going to hostile territory, at least go to fight…begging and reasoning with this rotten corrupted piece of shit shell of humanity will never work. AT LEAST FUCKING KILL SOME IDF!!!

      • There’s better ways to kill yourself than being in the hands of Israel. It’s such a cruel fate for someone like her.

        She would have been more useful elsewhere too.

          • War in Ukraine? I mean, if you are going to die either way, might as well die fighting THE enemy, part of the ones that are behind nearly everything bad happening in the world, just so happen to be in a war you can join. Oh how perfect…and they are losing!

              So, she just chose one of two most cruel conflicts. Arguably, Palestinians face an even worse fate, with an extensive humanitarian crisis, than even the Ukrainians.

              Why do you specifically choose Ukraine over Palestine?

              Those behind nearly everything bad happening in the world is the United Snake in the last half century . Not to whitewash Russian and China evilness in history

              Dying for Ukraine or for Palestine or any other occupied land is a noble death that require lot of courage
