With some people, as my late grandfather used to say, “you can teach ’em, but you can’t learn ’em.” One such is Sweden’s embarrassment, the Doom Pixie, Greta Thunberg. Remember her ill-fated mission to take aid to Gaza, aboard what wags called the “Selfie Yacht?” Remember that this excursion ended up with her caught, deported, and put on a carbon-spewing airliner home – in the cheap seats. The “aid” delivered would have fed a dozen people, at the most.
Well, she’s trying it again, with “Selfie Yacht 2.0.”
Greta Thunberg’s recent ‘Palestinian rescue mission’ was a total failure, carrying a tiny amount of supplies—enough, said some commentators, for “maybe a dozen people”—and resulting in her deportation from Israel.
So she’s going to do it all over again!
This time, the Swedish activist, best known for her green zealotry, is planning on heading from Spain to Gaza with “dozens of boats,” with the overall intention of “break[ing] the illegal Israeli siege.”
Meanwhile, citizens across the world have been asked to participate in “encampments and demonstrations that will happen simultaneously.”
The initiative has been dubbed the ‘Global Sumud Flotilla’ and will supposedly include activists from more than 40 countries.
Others have dubbed it as yet another attempt to cover Thunberg with publicity.
The “others” mentioned here are correct. Greta couldn’t care less about people in Gaza, but she does care about seeing her 15 minutes of fame slip by. She’s no doubt looking in the mirror and seeing what years of anger and frustration have wrought; she’s not that little Swedish teenager anymore, but just another Affluent White Female Liberal (AWFL) or whatever they call them in Sweden. We’ve all seen her old schtick, screeching about the climate, so now she’s found a new schtick, screeching about Gaza.
Still not convincing. That’s pretty obvious to folks in Israel:
The Jerusalem Post (JP) writer Michael Starr jibed that “Thunberg didn’t get enough clout last time and is coming back to the Levant bigger, reportedly with dozens of vessels set to run the IDF blockade of Gaza.”
Israeli businessman Adam Milstein also titled the project “Selfie yacht 2.0” and said it was “hoping to provoke violence or drama.”
Prediction: Nothing much will come of this. Few, if any, actual supplies will be delivered to anyone in Gaza. The Doom Pixie and her crew/partners in stupidity have to know what would likely befall them should they step ashore in Gaza; if they step ashore in an area controlled by Israel, their boats will be confiscated, and Greta will get another cheap plane ticket home. If they step ashore in an area controlled by Hamas, they’ll end up as high-profile hostages.
Reality just doesn’t carry a lot of weight with these people.

What Greta Thunberg Agreed to in Israel Exposes Her As a Fraud
It’s a certainty, as well, that Israel will be watching for the second Selfie Yacht. The Doom Pixie did, after all, go in front of the cameras – her favorite place to be – and announce the group’s plans to all and sundry. If they were serious, they would have quietly loaded up and sailed under the cover of darkness. That they did it this way instead is revealing – revealing that Greta’s after publicity, not helping Gazans.
We’re going to have to come up with a new nickname for Greta pretty soon, too. As noted, she’s looking more and more like just another embittered AWFL these days, not nearly so pixie-like. These things happen, and I’m confident we’ll arrive at something appropriate.
