    Since the UN won’t do anything

    Perhaps maybe Sweden / the EU may step up if a Swedish citizen is killed live from an Israeli drone strike. I hope it doesn’t come to that, but Israel is a bunch of monsters doing the classical human thing of blaming their lust for violence and their greed for land on the god they created.

      I can almost guarantee you that if it happened Greta would be labeled an agent of Hamas to justify murdering her.

      Reminder that Israel is Europe’s baby (along with USA, Canada & Austrailia). You think there’s going to be a response ?

      Mossad killed an unarmed 19-year-old American citizen after boarding one of these ships over a decade ago, and absolutely nothing was done. Sweden generally seems more reasonable than America, but I still don’t have high hopes they or the EU would do the right thing if Greta was martyred in this way.

      The fairly famous actor Liam Cunningham is courageously joining the trip this time as well.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
