        The entire take, rooted in a blatantly racist and frankly insane fantasy of Palestinian society.

        How do you even come up with this level of unhinged speculation entirely disconnected from reality?

          This literally just a bunch of meaningless word salad. You either actually explain your disagreement or concede that you have nothing.

            Tankies have got new matching orders. We’re supposed to be very enraged and upset and afraid and respectful of Greta. They very much want us to be supporters of genocide as well if we don’t display the proper sackcloth and ashes or participate in the 3 minutes hate.

            Yes, it’s a PR stunt. I do sympathize with Greta and the rest. They’re trying but it’s tilting at windmills.

            Anyhow, yeah, stick me in a concentration camp with my family and some shiny people show up? I’m looking for any angle to save my family, including taking hostages and killing anyone I have to.

              Yes, you’re exactly right. The only thing Gaza has that they can use as leverage are the hostages, and when 12 new ones show up right at their doorstep, are they going to let the opportunity pass them by? Of course not. The activists themselves understand this which is why they didn’t make a real effort to actually land. The point is to generate media attention by getting intercepted.

              You would think this is common sense, but people on this site lack it. The sheer amount of users here who are simply incapable of even explaining their positions is baffling.

                They were arrested in international waters, we cannot know if an attempt to land would be made because there was never an opportunity to do so. No “real effort” can be made to land when you’re more than 13 miles from shore
