From the Daily Caller: Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is sailing straight into controversy—literally. The 22-year-old is joining a humanitarian mission to Gaza aboard the vessel “Madleen,” operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), to deliver aid and protest Israel’s blockade of the war-torn strip, Al Jazeera reported.
“The world cannot be silent bystanders,” Thunberg said about the mission. “We are seeing a systematic starvation of 2 million people. Every single one of us has a moral obligation to do everything we can to fight for a free Palestine.”
The World Health Organization has issued urgent warnings about Gaza facing famine conditions, with three-quarters of its population facing food insecurity.
But Thunberg’s involvement has drawn scorn. Critics say the move aligns her with Hamas, the terror group in control of Gaza, and accuse her of virtue signaling. “She’s sailing to Gaza like it’s some sort of idyllic holiday destination,” said Sky News Australia host Danica De Giorgio, the New York Post reported. Communications consultant Prue MacSween added, “She’s such an urban terrorist herself, she’ll fit right in.”
Draped in a Palestinian shawl, Thunberg posted a dramatic video announcing their trip, blasting Israel and claiming, “We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide and the world’s silence is deadly.”
She claimed that “we have to do everything we can to stand against Israel’s atrocities and war crimes, and to support Palestine.” She called for people to “flood the streets” to stand for Palestine.
“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide and the world’s silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.”

“ We have to keep trying. Because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity. And no matter how dangerous this mission is, it is nowhere near as dangerous as the silence of the entire world in the face of a live-stream genocide.”

Liberals are praising Thunberg as a hero, while conservatives are condemning her for siding with Hamas and Palestine. Many are saying they hope she stays in Gaza.
She is just a fraud climate activist and now an idiot jihadist

Somebody needs to tell her she’s supporting HAMAS, they are paying her and using her, if she’s truly a peace activist why does she not mention the innocent hostages? She’s obviously bought

Good, I hope she stays there; I’m sure the lovely people of Gaza will give her a wonderful welcome.

I hope she will stay in Gaza forever!🙏🏼 It seems to be the land of her dreams. So she and her followers should move there. It just could happen that they might wake up from their dreams there…
