What I hope for Greta is a big old dose of reality. Whether that means letting them in and finding out what happens when the tiny amount of aid is distributed- who are they giving it to? Or not? There would be anarchy. Or let her sit under rocket fire in Israel as she repeatedly flouts the law and then ‘mock’ bleats when she is rescued.

Either way works for me. She is ridiculous and performative as are the people with them. They are an expensive and unwelcome distraction.

What law do you imagine she is going to 'repeatly flout'?

I hope they're all arrested indefinitely

Well it wouldn't surprise me, Israel have a long history of locking people up without charging them for any crimes for an indefinite period of time and if they drag them out of International waters like they did last time they will be locking up them without them having commited any crime. I wouldn't be 'hoping' for that though given that Israel also have a long history of torturing and sexually assaulting the people they lock up under this 'scheme'. Surely even the most ardent of Greta haters wouldn't wish that on her.

Someone's wild fantasy, presumably - possibly social media! Insane claim, and it's easily debunked using simple maths:

Qassams (the rockets used by Hamas) range between 35kg and 50kg in terms of mass (Source: Wikipedia).

Let's assume 50kg to be generous. 65k tonnes divided by 50kg would be 1.3 million rockets. Divided by 700 days, that'd be more than 1800 rockets a day ... which is just not happening.

No idea why people insist on making up the most easily debunked claims.

“There have been approximately 10,100 indirect-fire launches from Gaza that have crossed into Israeli territory

So going by your maths 50kg by 10,100 is about 505000kg which in tonnes.

About 505 tonnes
.
A small bit less that 65,000

Wow mirrors 65k tonnes of explosives that would really cause some damage to Israel comparable to Gaza in terms of civilian deaths, damage to infrastructure and residential buildings, no? Yet we have seen any evidence of that. Please cite your source for this unheard of news

Martymcfly24 · 06/09/2025 19:59

mirroronthedrawrers · 06/09/2025 18:59

And in the same time period, Hamas has dropped around 65,000 tonnes of rockets on Israel.

KoalaKoKo · 06/09/2025 18:34

The IDF have dropped over 85,000 tons of explosives on Gaza - the equivalent of 6 Hiroshimas - but a few humanitarians on sail boats with baby formula is the real danger.

Stop with the ridiculous propaganda - the weapons making their way into Gaza are the ones being yielded by the terrorists in the IDF. Israel has NO right to attack boats in international waters, to abduct people - they have NO right to any Palestinian land or water.

Nobody, not even the IDF has said a few numbskulls with baby formula are a danger. But if they let them through every pro-Pally and her granny will turn up and it will be chaos. There is a war going on you know?

You know full well Hamas have always smuggled in weaponry and drugs in and will continue to do so if given half a chance.

No to stop Hamas importing weapons and materials for building tunnels and military capability, not to mention drug trafficking.

Anyone who supports Palestinians would actually be in favour of cutting off the sources of Hamas power and control but of course that is not the case.

Of course Israel doesn't want to expend vast resources policing Hamas's crminal trade.

Its not at all obvious when you use the phrase 'disband and leave' rather than 'are forced to disband and leave'.

Ok?

SharonEllis · 06/09/2025 14:58

Bit tasteless when they are trying to bring food to people decimated by a declared famine wouldn't you think?

Or is it meant to be funny.

Martymcfly24 · 06/09/2025 14:53

SharonEllis · 06/09/2025 14:47

Why would Hamas disband and leave unless they were forced out?

Well yes obviously?

Im sure the IDF will have some challah ready for them.

Martymcfly24 · 06/09/2025 14:45

Obviously, anything to make life shittier for Palestinians.

I hope so much that Hamas do disband and leave, not only for the obvious reasons but also because then Israel will have to find a new excuse for their treatment of the Palestinian people .

It’s not Israel’s land or water so they have no right to block people! They intercept boats in international waters, boats heading for Palestine, you know land that does not belong to Israel. We should all go out and protest if they attack ships in international waters again!

Edited

Exactly this. Every flotilla that has ever tried to break the siege(except in 2008 when 2 boats successfully reached Gaza) has been intercepted or attacked by Israel in international waters. Dragging someone out of International waters to Israel and then accusing them of tresspassing is crazy talk.
