Middle East Forum executive director Gregg Roman reports that two NATO warships are escorting the current Greta flotilla on a collision course not with the Israeli navy (and the principles of international maritime law). The “Global Sumud Flotilla” challenges challenging Israel’s (legal) maritime blockade of Gaza. As Italy’s frigate Alpino and Spain’s patrol vessel Furor steer this convoy of over fifty civilian vessels toward the twelve-nautical-mile limit of Israel’s sovereign waters, this is not a laughing matter.
Jonathan Sacerdoti adds another point. Hamas owns several ships in the flotilla through a Spanish shell company. The flotilla of ships heading for Gaza has nothing to do with aid, and has direct links to people high up in Hamas living it up outside Gaza.
The irrepressible Brendan O’Neill nevertheless wrings laughter from the operation in the Spiked column “Greta’s flotilla has exposed the suicidal stupidity of Islamo-leftism.” O’Neill observes:
This week it was reported that the flotilla has ‘descended into chaos,’ following the outbreak of a “woke on woke” civil war. A Tunisian coordinator of the flotilla has reportedly resigned after discovering that the boats are carrying – brace yourselves – LGBT people. Sinful homosexuals? That just won’t do. It’s not Israel that’s being humiliated on the high seas. It’s Queers for Palestine. It’s Gays for Gaza. It’s the whole fragile and lethal alliance between blue-haired Westerners and red-faced Islamic hotheads who might agree that Israel is a demonic entity but who disagree on just about everything else. They said they’d “smash” Israel’s blockade but the only blow they’ve landed so far is an entirely self-inflicted one, exposing to the world the suicidal idiocy of genderfluid Westerners cosying up with Allah-fearing Koran-bashers in an orgy of hatred for the Jewish nation.
O’Neill struggles to sort it all out. He touches on what sounds like a possible Israeli war crime: “The boat folk claim their communications systems have been targeted. ‘They’re jamming our radio!,’ cried one as ABBA blasted in the background. Is it wrong that I laughed?” Answer: no. This may be a laughing matter, at least in part.
The Jerusalem Post focuses on the ABBA torture in “Gaza flotilla group decries ‘psychological operations’ as ABBA blasts through vessel radios.” Flotilla organizers claim they will overcome the ABBA op. The Jerusalem Post story takes us inside the torture via the X post below.
BREAKING LOL: It looks like trolls have hacked into Greta’s Gaza flotilla’s comms systems and are now playing Abba songs on repeat. It’s driving them crazy! 🤣 pic.twitter.com/xjWwTc72ip
