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!"

Exactly who says that they will let them go. They could very well hold them indefinitely call them terrorist and torture them. I don't see a single powerful government intervening when by law they should. I hope they stay safe and are released.

She's a white western girl with some celebrity appeal (not to undermine the incredible activism and support that she provides for worldwide causes). It's easy to dehumanize non-western nobodies with off-white skin. Torturing her would be an incredibly bad look, even for them.

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."

Hamas sent an assassin into her IDF controlled cell and killed her. Give us more bombs
