June 1st, we’ll attempt to, again, sail towards Gaza and to try to break the siege and open up a humanitarian corridor by delivering aid like food and medical supplies,” says Thunberg. A similar mission to sail to occupied Gaza in May was aborted after a flotilla dubbed the “Conscience” suffered two drone attacks while in international waters.

“Keep your eyes on deck, continue flooding the streets, organize, boycott, and do everything in your power to stand for Palestine,” Thunberg ends her message, readying to set sail for Gaza from Catania, Sicily, on Sunday with aid supplies and several high-profile activists alongside her.

      Every time conservatives whine about her, I like her more. She’s basically Gandhi as far as I’m concerned at this point

        She seems to be most of what Gandhi is remembered for and none of the stuff that he should probably be hated for. Maybe it’ll come out that she’s done some horrible things, but I doubt it.

          Yes I understand that Gandhi had major issues you’re the second person to say this lol. I was using it more as an expression. The point is that she is a very good person

          Honestly if conservatives or even certain liberals had anything on her, they would have released it by now.

            Yep, that’s why I doubt there’s anything particularly bad. In this age, there’s no way to hide much, particularly if you’re as (in)famous as she is. The ultra-wealthy can suppress a lot with their wealth, but anyone else is going to be dragged into the light if it’s out there.
