    It says the boat was carrying her, and later says she planned to board later that day. Plus the headline. Confusing.

        No, bad journalism. This is an important, overlooked, under covered story. I don’t particularly care about Thuneberg or her location, but Israel bombing humanitarian aid ships should be much more widely reported.

            It does make sense. But only if you accept certain facts about the morality of the Israeli administration.

              Even if you are evil as fuck, there are better and dare I say, cheaper, options to commit your war crimes.

        She is both a climate activist and advocate for Palestinian liberation, and framing her risking her life to demonstrate solidarity with the Palestinians as a shallow attempt at staying famous is incredibly ignorant and arrogant.

            This is ridiculous. What would Greta have to do to earn your respect, huh? You’re really gonna ask “why wasn’t she on the boat” as if she planned for the humanitarian aid vessel to be drone striked the day before she was going to board it? The fuck are you doing?

                Right, white people aren’t allowed to be activists. Instead they should bitch and moan in internet comment sections about activists not doing enough or not doing the right things while doing nothing themselves.

        She lives in the woods and scavenges for pine beetles and bark for nourishment. She really cares, and she isn’t being groomed to be a politician who gets kickbacks for green washing.
