The Israeli troops have taken control of the British-flagged charity vessel Madleen, which had tried to break a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip. The boat–operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC)–with its crew of 12, including activist Greta Thunberg, is now heading to a port in Israel, officials said on Sunday.

The FCC posted a pre-recorded “SOS” video of Thunberg on X and said, " the volunteers on ‘Madleen’ have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Pressure their foreign ministries and help us keep them safe!"

    They deliberately shot at UN officials, people who have really good connections internationally. I do not think they care. I think the IDF is so far gone that they feel immortal - Israel might truly believe that they can truly do anything and suffer no consequences.

    And if they do? “Oh she died of disease/malnutrition/an accident, nothing we could do. No you can’t have the body back.”
