Greta Thunberg arrested by Israeli forces after military boards aid flotilla headed for Gaza – Middle East crisis live

Since when is caring about our planets biggest problems and having the platform and reach to try and make a difference “moving onto the next publicity stunt”

Aw does the brave little girl make you feel a widdle inadequate? Time to promote genocide to make you feel strong and powerful like a big brave boy.

So you disagree with her stance? Or just how much attention she's bringing to the topic? Why does it bother you?

Maybe lowest vote total I’ve seen on Lemmy? Congrats on being universally hated I guess. I never thought we’d all agree on anything but here we are. It’s beautiful.

More than your fat ass has done lately.

Publicity stunt? Even if that were true, if someone does good for selfish reasons, does it matter to the ones they help? They’ve done a good thing and someone is in a better condition in the end.

Do you deny the genocide in Gaza?

People with this big brain take always crack me up... they think they're shitting on her when they're actually just admitting how successful she is, because her objective is literally to get publicity and attention for her cause.

Man, she's been doing a lot of publicity stunt to help people. Thank Greta! Someone's gotta do it and it's helping.

How's that bootlicker diet? loose any weight?

Gotta love that smug self-satisfied smile on her face as she enjoys a piggyback ride from the SWAT team.

Thesis elaboration pls

Not for money but fame?

(Not dogpiling, srs post)

Man you smacked the hornets nest with this comment.

Serious question though, how does Greta have money to travel all around the world and do whatever she wants? (Granted the things she wants to do are worldwide humanitarian efforts) but who is funding her food & shelter & clothing & yacht trips?

Have you seen what's going on in the US? Legal kidnapping is definitely a thing.

Legality. Israel can't arrest someone in international waters. They can kidnap someone in international waters. But an arrest implies they have any legality to it. They do not. They're the ones committing a crime not her.

It's like saying the bank robber arrested their hostages.

bruh, just how much kiddie porn blackmail does israel have on the west...goddamn.

they did absolutely nothing, stopped following then when they reach the orange line, which is not gazan or Israeli territorial waters, but the heart of the Mediterranean where Israel likes to attack civilians.

They literally turned around before they reached the Israeli boats. So no, that didn't happen

No, because they left when the flotilla entered the danger zone

Reading the Bible, I don't know how you'd come to any other conclusion but that God is a Monster.

The Epicurian Paradox. God claims to be omnipresent, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent. But the mere existence of evil overwhelmingly disproves this claim:

1. If god is able and willing to stop evil, but evil is able to hide from/fool god, god cannot be omnipresent.
2. If god is able to find all evil and willing to stop it, but unable to do so, god cannot be omnipotent.
3. If god is able to find evil and stop it, but unwilling to do so, god cannot be omnibenevolent.

In any of the three cases, if evil exists, god has been proven a liar in at least one of the three claims. Potentially two, or even all three. But at least one must be true if evil exists. And if at least one is true and god is a liar, why are we following him?

I also agree with this. Sure if one day something does show up, we can change our minds then. I'm sure the evil phuck would understand.

Exactly! But we should still be good to each other. It feels better when everyone is happy.

Risk them getting footage of the absolute devastation more like. Nothing can be allowed in, especially cameras.

Yeah, why doesn’t Israel just let the trucks waiting at the border in? I wager it is the same reason they stopped the flotilla.

Yes, all of them

Every single Palestinian living in Gaza is basically a hostage at this point

They'll show her videos of 50,000 Israeli babies being murdered by Muslim grandmas and Greta will suddenly decide to suicide herself

You know the nazis want you to do nothing, right?

"No, nazis want me to attack them!"

No, no they do not. They are cowards, only acting strong when they hugely outnumber everyone around them. But they don't outnumber us. They only do, if you sit in your house and tell people to do the same thing.

I agree mostly, in this case, because they have the media attention. If they didn't then they aren't protected by everyone watching, and also going down fighting would bring attention to the situation, which is beneficial.

A yes, terrorist attacks have such great results for Palestinians.

Lemmy try this:

Death to the gestapo, death to the SS, death to Stasi, death to the KGB.

Mods, I'm awaiting your judgement lol.

Or does it have to be a currently existing one?

Death to the FSB?

Fellas, is it illegal to say "Death to the FSB"?

👀

These mods are a joke.

It's only a matter of time until we get better instances without the abuse of power.

Mind you, whilst you are totally right, The Guardian have long been "fucking Zionists" and even now that they toned down their overt support of the Genocide, still are "fucking Zionists" judging by their continued practices of framing both sides differently, such as how in their articles Israelis "are killed" whilst Palestinias merely "die".
