The Israeli troops have taken control of the British-flagged charity vessel Madleen, which had tried to break a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip. The boat–operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC)–with its crew of 12, including activist Greta Thunberg, is now heading to a port in Israel, officials said on Sunday.
The FCC posted a pre-recorded “SOS” video of Thunberg on X and said, " the volunteers on ‘Madleen’ have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Pressure their foreign ministries and help us keep them safe!"
I can’t see the west ever celebrating her death at the hands of the IDF. She is a famous beacon of hope with massive rallying power appealing to both young progressives and even some regressives (white rich north european girl as you say). Her death would be incredibly destablilising for their younger masses.
I doubt they’d even try to pin it on a surprise attack by Hamas, since no one would believe it.
Oil fascist have been running a smear campaign on her for a decade. Most of people I have heard speaking about her think she is annoying/entitled/mentally ill because all of that propaganda. I wish people cared about her, but they don’t.
I see you are unfamiliar with American conservatives.
“the west”? No, I don’t think so either.
Being an American though, I could absolutely see “the United States government via Trump and the republican party almost unanimously” cheering her torture and death, and honestly I personally know people who would probably pay to watch it happen live.
I believe people in the Israeli government recognize how bad that would look and likely have even issued orders not to harm her or anyone who was with her directly.
However, I also believe that a politicians orders mean about as much as a fart in the wind to anyone in the militarh if they believe differently and think they can get away with it. And as TV shows and movies like to say, “accidents happen”
