International activists seeking to sail an aid boat to Gaza condemned Wednesday what they called Israel’s threats and “declared intent to attack” their vessel as it crosses the Mediterranean. Activists say drones are flying above the boat. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, launched in 2010, is an international movement supporting Palestinians, combining humanitarian aid with political protest against the blockade on Gaza.

  13. Greta doesn't look to be a Live Human being, but a demon or something, something is Seriously off with that entity. Who is paying her now??

  15. So Activists sail into a war zone……What could possibly go wrong. 🤪🤪🤪🤪
    Extreme left radicals goading Israel into action and then F24 can report about the outrage it cause. It's a win win situation
    The media and the activists only want to whip up tension and detract that hostages are STILL not released. Maybe protest about that for a change.

  17. The only "democracy" in middle east who denies voting rights to million of people under its rule is afraid of few unarmed activist on ordinary vessel. WTH with video of "soldier thrown out of ship"? Boarding civilian ship without permission in international waters are usually done by pirates.

  19. This whole boat ride is a publicity stunt, just look at the distance from Catania to Gaza. If they actually cared about getting aid there quickly, they would have left from a Turkish port.

  21. She has no profession, no job and wants only to get publicity to earn money later from marketing, invitations to shows, interviews,…

  24. So now the boat can’t deliver the aid to Gaza, can’t dock in Europe, and can’t drop the Libyans anywhere. They’re basically stuck in legal and political limbo at sea.

  26. Israel feels threatened and "protect its citizens" are we talking about some Hippies and food right? I guess in reality they feel threatened by the media attention.

  27. Israel has a history of piracy , murdering crew, stealing vessel and cargo.
    However, no-one seem to care

  28. May Allah protect your journey, accept your efforts as sadaqah, and guide your ship with His Noor — for every step you take is a step toward Jannah.

  31. Why don’t you also go to Yemen , Sudan, or other conflict areas if you so care about helping humanity. Greta is only looking for attention!
