Anywho, back to the symbolic boat outing:

They’ve got a bag of flour, several cans of tuna, some Burger King coupons, adult diapers, an artificial leg (the left one), an eye patch, righteous indignation, and they will make damn sure nobody sees them throw their laptop, tablets, and cell phone’s overboard this time.
Greta Thunberg is increasingly using the medium of music - including punk, rock and garage - to help deliver her pro-Palestine messages to wider audiences. As Thunberg led a flotilla bound for Gaza on Monday, she was supported by British rap punk duo Bob Vylan.
A flotilla of boats headed for Gaza carrying 350 pro-Palestine activists - including climate change campaigner Greta Thunberg - has departed from Barcelona. That’s a lot of mouths to feed.
Around 20 vessels displaying Palestinian flags left the Spanish port at 19:00 local time on Monday, stocked with medical and food supplies.
The aim of the mission is to "break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza", the organisers said - though a previous attempt to reach Gaza by sea was intercepted by Israeli forces.
In June, a yacht carrying Thunberg and several other activists - and a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid - was intercepted by Israeli forces as it tried to reach Gaza. Israeli authorities escorted the activists to the port of Ashdod before deporting them from the country.
The Global Sumud Flotilla Mission plans to launch in two waves - the first from Barcelona and the second from Tunis on 4 September.
Activists hope the boats will converge in the Mediterranean before sailing towards Gaza, a trip that is estimated to take seven or eight days.
