    One reason this has more impact than it seems like it should is the flotilla was comprised of citizens of other nations.

    It's human nature to care more about you and yours than someone else, even if you do also care about someone else, and this triggers that feeling, where Israelis committing genocide against Palestinians do not.

    I just hope something comes of it.

    Something has already come from it. That something doesn't have to be the end of Zionism though to make it meaningful.

    The totality of all action will be what brings about Zionisms death. From the single protest with 50 people you went to. From the BDS movement. From the blockade from Yemin. From the flotillas. From the small win against Microsoft recently. From all of it, and more, Zionism will end one day.

    Do not feel disheartened by not meeting the end goal or even making noticable progress for each individual action. Feel inspired by the acts of defiance to also take action in what ever way you are capable of.

    the way I see it, yes but this is worth paying attention to is that this seems to be an escalation. Greta is white and privileged, sure, but she is those things and she is famous. Like anything that happens to her will garner mainstream attention. And if something if they do really bad to her (like kill or SA her) it will put a huge negative spotlight on them in a way I dont think they realize. Like Charlie Kirk was a racist dickhead with tiny face memes for years but my dad didnt ask me who he was until like 2 weeks ago.

    the world is full of people so self absorbed (with and without justification) that if it takes a priviledged white girl getting beaten to get attention, so be it

    Greta knows this and is exactly the reason she is doing it... putting her own well being at risk for this cause... I suspect the biggest risk you'd take is falling from that high horse

    Random acts of cruelty seem to be inextricable characteristics of Israeli psychology.substack.com/@parislychee/note@palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com #CrimesAgainstHumanity #torture

    these are inextricable characteristics of a society that grew to believe that "after what they did to us, we can do anything". even becoming the monsters that once maimed them. and just as it once happened, they might need a shock to snap back to fear of retribution, i'm not even mentioning human decency.

    The character of National Zionism was evident well before the rise of Nazism @vfreire85 They knew full well that genocide is the only path to their "Judenstaat".National Socialism and National Zionism evolved close together in time and place. They're sibling ideologies. Both are ethno-supremacist. Both have proved genocidal. The Zionist form arose first. It's the elder sibling.@palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com #CrimesAgainstHumanity #torture

    Global fascist media has been fomenting a lynch mob a against random activist for the last decade. Here's the result. That coupled with the absolute failure to recognize the nature of the evil she feels compelled to expose.

    That’s not good because I’ve been imagining they are raping and starving her also.

    Why "little Greta" she is a grown woman of 22 years. I don't understand what this infantilization of her is supposed to achieve.

    Having said that it's definatelly a warning to others that thy don't care how famous you are, you better bring firing power, because just counting on other peoples outrage doesn't work anymore.

    Pretty sure in this case "little" is in reference to her small stature not her age.

    Also her mental capacity, she's autistic in a naive way, thinking she can act like a Disney Princess to solve the world's problems. Well the dark murderous Israelis are showing her the world is NOT a playground. It's a fucking crime scene.

    Greta is less than 1.5 metres tall @jeena For a 22-year old, that's "little".The Zionists evidently want to break her. They want the world to see her broken.@palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com #CrimesAgainstHumanity #torture

    Israel is the problem @Lucky_777 If there's to be peace, then it will be imposed from outside, much as the Zionist ethno-colony was imposed.According to Miko Peled and the like, there are enough people of good will on both sides to make a go of a unitary, multi-ethnic democratic state, in which all are equal.@palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com #CrimesAgainstHumanity #torture

    @DropBear @Lucky_777 @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com Agreed! There’s no way Israel will change as a result of internal pressure! There isn’t any! A goodly majority of Israelis agree with the genocide! Given that Israel (with US & UK involvement I’m sure) appears to be very close to initiating a second attack on Iran, this could be the moment that the external impetus for radical change in Israel occurs! Frankly it’s Zionism that needs to be totally eradicated - much like the much-touted but seemingly half-hearted German denazification after WWII! Imo only then will it be possible to create that single democratic entity that Peled, Pappé & others describe!

    Solve the genocide, ethnic cleansing and illegal European settlements by driving out Indigenous Palestinians and erasing Palestine, once and for all? Are you sure yourself of what you're saying?

    Either that or watch most of them die and be in that situation regardless. At least with a distribution, they can keep their culture alive through it's citizens. It's almost a no win situation, you either force Iseral to accept the state by invasion, or get them out.

    Not defending Iseral at all, just trying to save lives at this point. Watching millions get backed into a corner and slaughtered is terrible. No one nation or league of nations isn't doing anything about it. Maybe with some united force it could bring pressure in some fashion.

    What's your solution?

    The Euroanglo-zionazi Entity wouldn't stop at Palestine, you understand this, yes? "Greater Israel", does that ring a bell at all? This idea of "just move Arabs to Arab country X, Y and Z" is a Zionazi rhetoric intended to drive Palestinians who rightfully own their land out, no matter how you cut it.

    Understanding that the Euroanglo-zionazi Entity is a settler-colony and outpost granted by the British, occupied by various Europeans and now spearheaded by another settler-colony, the US, will help reveal the "solution".

    The US can make a single fucking phone call to the Zionazi "government" to at the very least stop the current genocide. European states can recall their citizens colonizing Indigenous land. With that in mind, the only way forward is through continued mounting of pressure on these states that are colonizing Palestine via organization, which we are seeing a glimpse of with the Global Sumud Flotilla, BDS and other important initiatives.
