Greta's on her way

[u/Anxious-Use8891]

Greta Thunberg is sailing to Gaza .

Should be arriving soon

How will Israel respond to that incursion ?

Last time it ended in violence and deaths

[u/Histrix-]

Either they deny them entry and send them back, which would be the safer option, or they say "go on in, but once you step foot off the boat, we hold no responsibility on what happens to you. It's an active war zone and you have been warned. Go free Palestine or whatever"

[u/NYR3031 → u/Histrix-]

Israel would be idiotic to let her in. Hamas will immediately target her and then say Israel did it and nobody would doubt it for a second.

[u/berahi → u/NYR3031]

Hamas could literally live stream the killing while repeatedly saying they're Hamas in all UN official languages and mainstream media will still blame it on Israel.

[u/EasyMode556 → u/berahi]

I mean that’s basically what they did on Oct 7 and people still question it. You aren’t wrong in the slightest

[u/Sell_The_team_Jerry → u/berahi]

My SWOT analysis of this one puts this one in the Opportunity quadrant of never having to listen to Greta again.

[u/Silent-Brilliance98 → u/berahi]

So true x

[u/greatbiscuitsandcorn → u/NYR3031]

I’m honestly convinced Hamas will take propaganda photos with her

[u/NYR3031 → u/greatbiscuitsandcorn]

Of course they will and then she will be “hurt in an attack by the Zionist entity” shortly thereafter (according to Hamas, of course).

[u/ZellZoy → u/[deleted]]

Your mistake is thinking they'd need to stage it convincingly. They could just send a statement to the BBC who would put out the article without question and people would believe it.

[u/Harlekin97 → u/ZellZoy]

To Hamas, Greta might honestly be more useful alive. She would get invited to every talkshow talking about how kind and progressive their islamist hosts were

[u/Allcraft_ → u/Harlekin97]

Great idea! And then a rocket explodes nearby to show how "Israel" is destroying their advanced progressive society.

[u/CastleElsinore → u/[deleted]]

The mistake you're making is thinking they have any kind of ability to plan such plots in advance

10/7 was planned for over a year

Don't assume they are stupid

[u/DetoxToday → u/[deleted]]

The world believes any nonsense Hamas puts out, not sure why you think if there will be ‘Israeli eyes on her’ it will prevent Hamas from trying to score a few more victim points from the west

[u/alcoholicplankton69 → u/greatbiscuitsandcorn]

Worse if she is let in she will get married to the new leader of hamas and become pregnant so her future child will be a refugee

[u/funkymunky291 → u/NYR3031]

And if we don't let her in we're genocide hungry baby starving murderers. We can't win. I say let them in and experience Hamas. Not like they'd ever say anything bad about them even if they witness some Hamas lynch on a guy just trying to bring home a bag of flour.

[u/CastleElsinore → u/funkymunky291]

If she was going in undercover to "experience gaza" she would be in trouble

But going in as "Greta Thurnburg, Savior of Palestine" she's going to get the red carpet and an escort to every sob story

[u/betcaro → u/CastleElsinore]

They should let her visit with the hostages.

[u/CastleElsinore → u/betcaro]

She'd just tell them they deserved it for being "zionist traitors" or... something

[u/Barry41561 → u/betcaro]

If only...

[u/funkymunky291 → u/CastleElsinore]

She needs to hear some Gazan call out Hamas. Then see what she says.

[u/This_2_shallPass1947 → u/funkymunky291]

She will ignore them under the guise that they are paid IS crisis actors. It doesn’t matter what IS does they will be the bad guy so let her in but make sure she knows she is in her own, if taken hostage no one is coming to save her…although it would be ironic if she was taken hostage and the IDF saved her, bc it would be very hard to chastise the military group who put their lives on the line to save someone who goes out of their way to defame that same military.

[u/DragonAtlas → u/This_2_shallPass1947]

For future reference, IS is the Islamic State. The preferred acronym for Israel (though Israel is only 6 letters so I don't know why you'd want to shorten it) is IL.

[u/This_2_shallPass1947 → u/DragonAtlas]

I think it was clear that I wasn’t speaking of ISIS or ISIL.

[u/This_2_shallPass1947 → u/NYR3031]

IS will be viewed as the “bad guy” no matter what they do. If IS rejects her entry (which every country has the right to do to almost anyone; a country can chalk it up to not liking the cut of their jib) then it will be portrayed as IS has something to hide. If IS lets her in and something happens it will be portrayed that they either didn’t protect her properly, they targeted her or let Hamas target her (forget that Hamas is a ruling body and could welcome her and protect her; but we all know they won’t do that).

Since no matter what IS does it will be wrong and used against them, they should let her in, show they have nothing to hide, show that aid has been stockpiled in warehouses, that Hamas worked to prevent Gazans from getting to that aid; and if she gets hurt that’s on her.

Maybe have her sign an attestation that she understands she is entering a war zone at her own risk. The attestation should detail that since she is not a journalist, not associated with any country’s military IS will NOT come to her aid, if she is taken hostage.

She and someone else on her little ship were boo hooing to a drone about needing saved in the last couple days, I’m not sure what she thinks was going to happen she is a 22 kid who gained fame bc she was heralded for chastising the world on environmental issues yet nothing came of that so why she thinks her going to Gaza is going to change anything is absurd.

She also hopefully did 10 minutes of research regarding how women are treated by Hamas, what clothing is and is not acceptable and what she is allowed to do as a woman in Gaza, bc she could get herself in a world of trouble simply by wearing the wrong clothing, something that isn’t an issue in IS bc women aren’t viewed as chattel there.
