Cont: Greta Thunberg - brave campaigner or deeply disturbed - part 3

Even raising a 2,000 lb. aid shipment, and getting a photo op of her sitting on top of the actual boxes, at the actual border checkpoint, ostensibly being stalled by the IDF, would be a huge improvement over this nonsensical boat ride.
 
I think enough time has passed that we can say a problem was caused by Great Britain et al., but this problem has more proximate causes not attributable to Great Britain, the US, or the creation of Israel as such.

Causes that Greta Thunberg is either ignorant of, or ignoring, and in either case has nothing useful to contribute to addressing.
Greta clearly understands the horrible war crimes and crimes against humanity being caused by the Jewish State.
 
Raising awareness and bringing attention to a war started by hamas that they are not doing well in currently. OK.

I think most of the world is already well aware, if not a bit bored with it.

Greta has become an adult, she still makes poorly thought out choices. Much like the rest of us. But not everyone goes for making the news with them.

That's the public's fault. It's like people paying attention to Trump when he wasn't President. .
 
the topic of this thread is Greta Thunburg. I moved several pages of bad tempered general discussion about Israel to AAH

Keep on topic

What was the benefit to Israel, of letting a symbolic aid delivery run the blockade and deliver their cargo without being searched or going through the established ports of entry?
After searched for weapons, and none found, why not let the aid ship go through?

Israel already has established ports of entry for aid shipments. why should they establish a precedent of letting troll activists set up another POE any time they want?

It's obvious that Greta and the Freedom Flotilla aren't operating in good faith. If they were, they'd be focusing their efforts on raising meaningful amounts of aid, and getting it to the established ports of entry.

Also, have you looked at the FF website? As far as I can tell, they make no claim to be in contact with anyone in Gaza who can help get aid distributed safely and fairly. They make no claim to be raising funds for anything other than symbolic trolling of the blockade.

Their entire goal - the thing they're wasting all their resources to accomplish - is to put on a show of activism, without any real results behind it. It's no coincidence Greta Thunberg is working with them.

Oh really? Where in Gaza should Thunberg have sailed to to deliver her goods to Gaza?

Overland crossing points are also commonly called ports of entry. Obviously Greta should have sailed to a port in Israel or Egypt, and transshipped her aid package from there to the nearest border crossing into Gaza. But that would have been a waste of all those donation dollars. The whole point of her boat ride was to make a big production of flouting the blockade, and getting stopped by Israel. There was never even any meaningful amount of aid in play.

It was a scam, my dude. A thunbergskam, if you will.
