    And we have ten pages in this thread alone to prove it! :D

    I just read an article that said the IDF was going to force Greta Thurburg to watch videos of the horrific October 7, 2023 murders and evil acts. I kind of like that idea. I think the IDF and everyone else should also be forced to watch videos of dead Palestinians and starving little babies.

    Or just allow people delivering aid should be allowed to deliver aid to those in need.

    Greta’s move is really purely just grabbing media attention. She has less than a truckload of food.

    I’m not saying Palestinians don’t need more aid. I’m saying they need many more truckloads of aid per day. Israel needs to be delivering 10 times what is allowed in, probably really more than that. I’m not sure what’s going on. My guess is that it’s something like they’re hoping Palestinians will blame Hamas for this. Another plus for Netanyahu is it further stalls his trial. Also if they kill more in Gaza that’s another plus from Netanyahu’s perspective.

    Israel will deliver the Aid from the ship to Gaza civilians.
    The passengers/protesters are in Israeli port of Ashdod, treated nicely, fed etc., and will be flown back to their home countries.
    The sponsor of the flotilla, from UK, is a Palestinian allegedly with possible ties to Hamas.
    While he denied these claims, he is known for Pro Palestinian activity.

    They were illegally boarded and detained and their supplies confiscated in international waters. The IDF is acting like pirates.

    Perhaps true but I still think it’s relatively minor. Folks in Gaza need much much more. Regarding IDF doing bad stuff. They are killing many folks everyday. That causes me more concern. :(

    I understand the concern, but I believe many of the reports about the IDF deliberately targeting civilians are false or distorted. There is intense fighting going on—this is a war zone. Unfortunately, civilians are often caught in the crossfire, but it’s important to recognize that much of the indiscriminate shooting at civilians is carried out by Hamas and other armed groups.
    The IDF, under Israeli and international law, is not allowed to target civilians. Soldiers are only permitted to use lethal force when there's a clear and immediate threat to life. Of course, no military is perfect, but it’s important to separate facts from propaganda.

    This is just IDF propaganda.

    IDF is 1000 times more truthful than Hamas. So IDF propoganda has high % of validity. Hamas '0'.

    1000 x 0 = 0

    Wrong

    1000 +0 = 1000

    New Record in Gaza Aid Distribution: Over 2 Million Meals in One Day
    The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) reported a new record in food distribution across the Strip. According to the organization, 2,051,280 meals were delivered via approximately 35 trucks and distributed at three main distribution sites throughout Gaza,
    The foundation added that "the day passed without any security incidents at the sites, and operations continued as usual - despite the tense situation in the region."
    So there they are, the old customers of
    Hamas-traders... not robbed and ripped off with exorbitant prices,
    Not much attention in the Western liberal media... doesn't fit their narrative.

    Fractions infighting, Al Shabab fighting with Hamas, lost 50 fighters so far.
    Gazans increasingly blame Hamas for shooting at them, to stop, prevent aid efforts.

    Gretta and the activists with here where lucky to be helped by Israeli authorities.

    Here is what happened to a different large group that arrived in Egypt, for pro Gaza march.

    Local Egyptians auslted the activists.
    All the activists where deported from Egypt.

    How do you see any comparison between these two?

    Yes, Israel treated the activists nicely. Greta was lucky.
