    Israel has no way to win in this situation. Torturing her will result in media backlash. Executing her would only make a martyr, which is even worse. Somehow, Israel didn’t choose to kick her out immediately.

      The worst thing Israel could have done to discredit Greta Thunberg and damage her brand would have been to give her a nice meal, a warm bed in a nice hotel, gently push her onboard the next 1st class flight back to Stockholm the next day and release a statement telling her to go play SJW somewhere else. Instead, they’re doing everything possible to confirm they’re truly bad people, like dumbasses.

        Theyre fucking orcs. Hit that ‘translate from Hebrew’ button. Only other language you’ll see anyone say anything even close to that vile is German.

        Being plain evil without pretending otherwise has worked out just fine until now, why would they stop?

            Who knows.

            My guess is that eventually they’ll cross some invisible line and their former allies begin to turn against them. Where that line is can also change depending on the global political atmosphere. As long as Russia and USA interfere with the Middle East, we’re locked in a proxy war style situation with no clear way out. If Russia and USA suddenly loose interest in this eternal war zone, then Israel would need to watch out, because crossing that invisible line would have consequences, and the line would be a lot closer than ever before.

            For the time being though, I don’t think Israel needs to worry about that. They could start using Zyklon B on Palestinian children, and the world would not interfere.

              invisible line

              No. That’s the thing; the ruling classes love what’s going on here.

              It’s not just a genocide –they’re reviving old fashioned colonial violence, plundering, subjugation. The normalizing of extermination. The normalizing of killing truth raping the corpse and solving all your problems with killing. The normalization of impunity–that someone’s allowed to get away with this

              That’s worth everything to the billionaire class. The more they horror it up; the more they love it.

      They realize that kicking her out just means she will be on her way back on the next boat. They are trying to intimidate her into not coming back.

      I hope the Swedish government has a harsh answer for one of their citizens getting kidnapped in International Waters.

        Well some of them would, because that’s how international politics works. However, a surprising number of countries have recognized Palestine, so I think the number of friends Israel has might be in a decline.

      They could have not taken her hostage.

      She’s probably just a useful idiot. Might be useful to interrogate her and get whoever got her to do this.
