The well-known far-left activist Greta Thunberg, along with 11 other left-wing activists, set out Sunday afternoon on a voyage to Gaza aboard a vessel, aiming to criticize Israel for defending itself against Palestinian Islamic terrorism.
The sailboat, named Madleen and operated by the Freedom Flotilla group, departed from the port of Catania, Sicily, with the goal of reaching the Gaza Strip to "deliver humanitarian aid" and raise "awareness" about the critical situation facing its population.
Instead of criticizing the dictatorship of the terrorist group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, the left-wing activist seeks to support them by directing her criticism at the only democratic state in the Middle East.

At a press conference prior to departure, Thunberg stated that "we're doing this because, despite the difficulties, we must continue trying to help," even though both Israel and the UN send humanitarian aid to the region.
"The moment we stop trying is the moment we lose our humanity, and nothing is as risky in this mission as the world's silence in the face of the genocide that is happening," Thunberg said, in a speech virtually identical to that of a Hamas terrorist.
In May, after nearly three months of restrictions due to intense fighting with Islamic terrorism, the Israeli government allowed a relaxation of the blockade on Gaza, which enabled the entry of humanitarian aid.

Nevertheless, the assistance often ends up in the hands of Hamas terrorists, who take it from the Palestinian civilian population and use it to feed their fighters.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government is conducting a military operation aimed at putting pressure on Hamas to secure the release of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas during the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were kidnapped. Currently, it is estimated that 58 hostages remain in the hands of the Palestinian terrorists, of whom at least 23 are believed to be alive.
The left-wing activists explained that their initiative is part of a broader strategy. In this context, the "Global March to Gaza" was announced, which is scheduled to begin in Egypt and aims to reach the Rafah border crossing in mid-June. The goal is to protest against Israel and defend Palestinian terrorism.
