MembersTachles with Aviel – Greta’s ego cruise runs aground in Ashdod

So, what did I say a few days ago? The wild climate activist Greta Thunberg and her “rescue steamer” Madleen wouldn’t reach the Gaza coast.

And today, we saw it happen: the twelve “angels of life” missed their target and ended up stranded in Ashdod. There, they were first shown a film of the Hamas atrocities from October 7 before being deported. Perfect!

Some sail across the Atlantic in a sailboat, others protest on highways or glue themselves to priceless works of art. And then there are those, like Greta Thunberg, who board a ship headed for Gaza. Why? Officially, for “humanitarian reasons.” Unofficially, because attention is now the most valuable political currency. The fact that barely any significant aid supplies were found on Greta’s boat is a mere footnote. What matters more is the photo with the Mediterranean sunset and the hashtag #FreeGaza. Ego! For Greta, it’s all about Greta—not the Palestinians. Greta on her grand voyage—sailing for clicks. That’s guaranteed to have fattened her bank account along the way with every live update. The sea journey to Gaza? A picture of Greta is worth more than 1,000 aid packages for the Gaza Strip!

    Amen! This was a very transparent stunt!

  2. Taylor Sealy says:

    I guess she got the climate change she wanted from freezing Sweden to warm Israel. I personally check with Greta before I make any important moves…..not.

  3. Ken Kuhlmann says:

    The response from the IDF and the Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katz that I have read from various reports towards Greta and the crew on board is what needed to be shown to them.
    If Greta and her friends miss not knowing in their hearts about the future of Israel that is promised from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who watches over Israel for His plan and purpose, then all the attention they are getting now will mean nothing in that Day when they look into the face of the Redeemer of Israel. Isaiah 43:1-13, Isaiah 60:1-22.
