The boat, named Madleen, was carrying Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and several other high-profile figures. In a statement, Israel’s Foreign Ministry dismissed the voyage as a “media provocation” aimed solely at garnering publicity.

“The ‘selfie yacht’ of the ‘celebrities’ is safely making its way to the shores of Israel,” the ministry said. “The passengers are expected to return to their home countries.”

 

According to the statement, the vessel carried “less than a single truckload of aid,” while more than 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza from Israel in the past two weeks. The ministry also said the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed nearly 11 million meals directly to civilians.

“There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip — they do not involve Instagram selfies,” the ministry said. “The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the ‘celebrities’ will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels.”

What a shame. I think Thunberg truly belongs in Gaza.

Wicked infantile witch claims she has been kidnapped. Take her and dump her and her friends in Gaza by Hamas.

Now that the little white twit is in Israel, the government should really grant her, her wish. Dump her in downtown Khan Yunis and watch how the “innocent” Palestinians tear her white meat apart.

It’s reported that their flotilla did not require any fuel to operate, as the mass volume of hot air of its passengers sufficed to propel it.

The correct response would be to sink the flotilla with its passengers. Entering a war zone has consequences.
There would not be any copycat flotilla after that. It’s the only way to deal with Hamas sympathizers.
