Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg has told Swedish officials she is being subjected to harsh treatment in Israeli custody after her detention and removal from a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, according to correspondence seen by the Guardian.
According to the correspondence, Israeli forces are also reported by another detainee to have taken photographs where Thunberg was allegedly forced to hold flags. The identity of the flags are unknown.
In an email sent by the Swedish foreign ministry to people close to Thunberg, and seen by the Guardian, an official who has visited the activist in prison said she claimed she was detained in a cell infested with bedbugs, with too little food and water.
Greta has been the one to face all sorts of public backlash and moronic criticism for how she looks. I hope that history remembers her work and commitment to saving human life, for the sake of saving human life.
History will remember her for being based as hell. Going this hard on Gaza really legitimizes her climate activism as caring about human life. And taking huge personal risks which are not just blocking a highway.
She has never once limited her commitment to human life - let her be remembered for her dedication to saving life.
the problem is that she is a white, blonde girl with a cool active (I mean lively) personality, it should have nothing to do with looks.
Greta has a backbone of pure steel.
Israel is lashing out emotionally now that they’ve lost public support. Pathetic, may the entity crumble to dust and Palestine be free.
Death to the zionist entity and the states who support it.
And then one hears that anti semitism is on the rise like never before and one wonders why that is…
Maybe they will delete her and we have another martyr. That’s all we need to really push them out our lands tbr.
Won’t happen. If they killed her, they’d get away with it.
Israel is immune to accountability.

nothing happens other than some news stories.
Well that’s not true. The flotillas are forcing Israel to very publicly show that they don’t allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. We just had a wave of countries recognize Palestine as a state. She has helped destroy Israel’s perceptions worldwide. This is like saying Rosa Parks should’ve just not gotten on the bus. Getting arrested is the point of the protest.
And what would those be, exactly?
yeah but I assume the alternatives you’d consider acceptable wouldn’t make the news, because it wouldn’t threaten the status quo.
