  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Swedish activist Greta Thunberg alleged on Tuesday that she and other detainees of the Gaza flotilla were subjected to torture in the Israeli prison they were held.

Thunberg told a news conference in Stockholm that she and others were "kidnapped and tortured" by the Israeli military.

She declined to elaborate"

She also alleged that her purpose was humanitarian. Interesting because her boat had no humanitarian supplies.

Her boat also had no phones or laptops...for some reason.

She didn't look too worse for wear when she got to Greece for the protest after-party.

How big was this supposed "aid delivery" supposed to be?

From what I'm reading:
100 kg (220 lb) of baby formula, 100 kg (220 lb) of flour, 250 kg (550 lb) of rice, diapers, and crutches.

So basically a modest sized mini-van worth of cheap supplies...

Greta and her vanity projects seem to have an opposite effect on the causes she likes to champion (by making people take the causes less seriously)

This is the boat if I'm not mistaken? Right?

But they didn't even bother to take her cell phone from her

There was no tofu option.

On top of that, in the temporary detention center, the barber they had on staff only knew how to do the Amish haircut from the movie Kingpin

Here's a link that shows some of the humanitarian aid to be delivered.


It looks like a significant amount.

That was one of more than 40 boats that were involved.

She has turned into a joke. Something like a deer looking into the headlights. You can’t look away.

I lol’ed when she was walking in the airport last time she got sent back from one of her escapades and she had her hands behind her back as if she was handcuffed. She is so dramatic. She should have been a d-list actress.

Is there a news article that summarizes what was supposedly on the boats? (I'm not downloading a 2gb file from a random google drive link)

Either way, it still seems like this was a vanity project "for show".

40 unarmed sailboats thought they were somehow going to sneak past one of the most sophisticated militaries in the world into an active combat zone?

I'm saying this as a someone who's revised their viewpoints and become much more "Israel-critical" over the past 3 months -- "Professional protestors" and "media harlots" need to stay way from this situation and not do stupid stuff to "prove some sort of point". It delegitimizes real criticisms.

And while I'm not going to download a file from an unfamiliar google drive link, if the load of supplies is as big as your claiming, that means they wasted other peoples' money and resources as well that could've been used for other more realistic endeavors.

If I said "I'm going to try to sneak canned food and medicine into North Korea by way of 40 sailboats, you want to chip in?" would you do it, or would that charity be put to better use domestically or some other international effort that had better than a 0.000000001% chance of success?

She's the embodiment of what happens when someone becomes a full-time protestor with no real prospects. Having to bounce from cause to cause to try to stay relevant.

I don't fault her entirely for that...

It would seem to follow the pattern of how a lot of kids turn out when their parents are both actors/entertainers.
(which makes sense... when money is not an issue, and your parents are connected to other well-to-do famous people, impassioned youth can devote their time to things other than vocational endeavors)

Okay, now I want there to be a weekly Greta Thunberg reality TV show.
