Greta Thunberg, in a video posted on social media, said she and other members of the Freedom flotilla en-route to Gaza have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. This comes after the Daily Mail reported that several Israeli vessels surrounded the ship Madleen, prompting the crew to raise an alarm.

Thunberg shared a pre-recorded video appealing for international help. “My name is Greta Thunberg, and I am from Sweden,” she said in the clip. “If you see this video, we are being intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel. I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible.”

    There’s better ways to kill yourself than being in the hands of Israel. It’s such a cruel fate for someone like her.

    She would have been more useful elsewhere too.

        War in Ukraine? I mean, if you are going to die either way, might as well die fighting THE enemy, part of the ones that are behind nearly everything bad happening in the world, just so happen to be in a war you can join. Oh how perfect…and they are losing!

          So, she just chose one of two most cruel conflicts. Arguably, Palestinians face an even worse fate, with an extensive humanitarian crisis, than even the Ukrainians.

          Why do you specifically choose Ukraine over Palestine?

          Those behind nearly everything bad happening in the world is the United Snake in the last half century . Not to whitewash Russian and China evilness in history

          Dying for Ukraine or for Palestine or any other occupied land is a noble death that require lot of courage

            It’s all the same ideology, same types of rich people, and the petroindustry. Every time I hear abut a pipeline burn, I am very happy.
