An activist with the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) says climate campaigner Greta Thunberg was physically abused and forced to kiss an Israeli flag after regime forces raided the Gaza-bound vessels and detained those on board.
“They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” journalist Ersin Celik said in a Saturday post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Another Turkish activist detailed the distressing conditions they faced after being abducted, highlighting the Israeli forces’ obstruction of access to medicine and the limited provision of essential supplies such as water and food.
“Israelis prevented us from having medicine, they only gave us water after 32 hours. We barely had any food. We were woken up at 3 in the morning with dogs and snipers walking into our rooms, they woke us up every 2 hours to prevent us from sleeping. They did this to us, innocent citizens, it could only let us imagine what they do to Palestinians,” the activist said.
On Saturday, a plane carrying 137 activists, including 36 Turkish citizens, arrived in Istanbul, where they were warmly welcomed by families, journalists, and supporters after enduring the challenging experience at sea.
The purpose of the activists’ involvement in the mission was to break the blockade on the Gaza Strip and provide aid, before their ships were intercepted by Israeli forces.
The Global Sumud Flotilla, made up of over 50 vessels, set sail from Barcelona late last month to deliver aid to Gaza and challenge what human rights groups have condemned as one of the harshest and most inhumane blockades in the world.
Since Wednesday, the Israeli navy has illegally intercepted flotilla vessels in international waters as they neared Gaza, detaining about 500 activists from more than 40 countries.
Several high-profile figures, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, former Barcelona mayor Ada Colau, and Member of European Parliament Rima Hassan, were among those abducted.
The Israeli attack has been met with worldwide protests, including in European countries such as Italy, Belgium, and Scotland.
Since March 2, when Israel violated its ceasefire agreement with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, the regime has sealed all border crossings into the enclave, blocking the entry of humanitarian aid and further deepening Gaza’s already dire humanitarian crisis.
The brutal blockade has pushed the famine-linked death toll to 453 people, including 150 children.
Israel has so far killed at least 66,225 Palestinians, mostly women and children, since it launched the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023.

You’re in the wrong instance, Herr Hitler.
Is this a joke? The occupation has nowhere nearly enough bargaining chips to control Imperial America, and the upper classes mostly consist of goyim like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, the Bush dynasty, the Rockefeller dynasty, the Buffett family, and others.
Your comment is not only insensitive to lower-class Jews but also distracts us from our real enemies. I suggest that you apologize.
quite a few traces related to the United States regarding 9/11, e.g Bin Laden family. Mossad is heavily funded and supported by the U.S intelligence apparatus. Plenty of WASPs are in the porn industry as well, I’ve heard this non-sense before.
Unrelated, I think Nazis should have their heads pounded with a cinderblock until it makes a clinking sound against the pavement past all the splattered sinew and grey matter. What do you think?
Zionists are given such license to behave monstrously for the same reasons the CIA is, they’re the attack dogs of the real power, which is international capital (which they’re partially embedded into as well). That whole puppet master shit is idealist nonsense.
The puppet-master shit is “global cabal” non-sense typically accompanied by great replacement theories and the capture of American capital by “The Jews”. Rhetoric usually spoken by Nazis. I’m mildly concerned why a communist user is literally repeating the “jewish cabal” nonsense.
ArmWorldbuilding sounds suspiciously like a Nazbol.
Yeah the “who controls the pornography industry” is a really, really obvious one on a Marxist forum. Don’t think they know what the Marxist perspective on pornography/prostitution is.
That is the most “left” possible position they could be assigned with what they said. You need to be really fash to say “the Jews killed Kennedy and own the porn industry and that proves they run America” like people will just go “huh, never thought about it like that, guess you’re right!”
The Trump regime doesn’t give a fuck about Greta Thunberg, what are you talking about?
It would if the narrative was a white Swedish girl brutalized by Iranian thugs.
an unholy alliance between rich bourgueois clans and a monarchy of middle east and the bush’s america to justify more reactionary policies?
the evangelical usa and the federal reserve?
hi, /pol/! making political analysis with the dick as always…stop trying to conflagrate jewish people with zionism, we’re not gonna support your “final solution”
I thought it was the CIA that had JFK assassinated? I’m not necessarily overly doubting you, just wondering how you came to that conclusion.
Most evidence points to the CIA and gusano terrorists helped by some two bit mobsters (but set up by big shots like Sam Giancana, who was suspiciously murdered before he could appear before the Church commission)
They really tipped their hand with that last one lmao
To conflagrate is to set something on fire. To conflate is to mix things up.
So they conflated conflagerated and conflated? :b
