Israel "kidnaps" Greta Thunberg from the 'Madleen'

Last night, Greta Thunberg and her eleven cronies were "peacefully" attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza in defiance of Israel’s naval blockade was aboard the Madleen, a British-flagged yacht operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC).

Around 3:02 AM CET, Israeli naval forces intercepted the vessel in international waters, approximately 100 nautical miles from Gaza. The ship was boarded, and Thunberg, along with 11 other activists from countries including Germany, France, Brazil, Turkey, Sweden, Spain, and the Netherlands, were detained. The Madleen was towed to the Israeli port of Ashdod.

The FFC reported that the crew was "kidnapped" by Israeli forces, claiming the interception was unlawful and that the ship was carrying a symbolic amount of aid, including rice, baby formula, and medical supplies. They claimed the vessel was under assault by drones and quadcopters. A livestream by the FFC was cut during the interception.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry stated that all passengers were safe, and provided footage of IDF naval officers giving them sandwiches and water. They correctly named the Madleen as a “selfie yacht,” which carried only a tiny amount of aid, mostly consumed by the crew, and was a publicity stunt rather than a genuine aid mission.

When the ship was boarded, Greta recorded herself saying she had been kidnapped by the Israeli Occupation Forces (which doesn't exist). Her use of the word 'kidnapped', given the Israelis kidnapped, who are still held by Hamas, drew ire.

Greta and her 'antisemitic friends' as Israel Katz called them, are en route to Ashdod. They will be questioned and deported.
