Oh…missed this earlier in Pallywood Theatre:
(YouTube & The Madleen crew were forced by the IOF to throw their phones into the sea)
View attachment 29513
…& Now we know why the Floatation Friends Commission or whatever all had their life jackets on and hands in the air and laptops and cell phones in the ocean (well, sea actually) BEFORE even being boarded. The IOF made them do it!! Cool spin on reality.

Here’s without the dramatic music so you can actually hear what’s happening.
(YouTube & 'Ditch the phones!' Greta Thunburg's crew throws their cellphones overboard before IDF boards)

Laptop’s too! Wouldn’t want to forget those…
(YouTube & Sweden’s Greta Thunberg says she was ‘kidnapped’ in international waters )

No “I’m the King of the World!” selfies? How Dare they!?!

(I bet this is Israel’s fault somehow too)
Of course it is. Everything that's wrong with the world is all on Israel.

I'm still laughing at Netanyahu’s partners Ben-Givr and Smotrich being sanctioned and labelled terrorists for being terrorists.

International sanctions hit Ben-Gvir and Smotrich​

Published: 11 June 2025
Last updated: 11 June 2025

The Foreign Ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom have announced sanctions targeting Israeli cabinet ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich for inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The statement blamed the two Religious Zionist members of Israel's parliament for inciting increasing settler violence in the West Bank.
It emphasised that the countries involved continue "unwavering support for Israel's security" and continued condemnation of "the horrific terror attacks of 7 October by Hamas".

The ministers also expressed continuing concern about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and concluded "We want to see a reconstructed Gaza no longer run by Hamas and a political pathway to a two-state solution."

The full statement

Today, the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom have announced sanctions and other measures targeting Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich for inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Settler violence is incited by extremist rhetoric which calls for Palestinians to be driven from their homes, encourages violence and human rights abuses and fundamentally rejects the two-state solution. Settler violence has led to the deaths of Palestinian civilians and the displacement of whole communities.

We are steadfastly committed to the two-state solution which is the only way to guarantee security and dignity for Israelis and Palestinians and ensure long term stability in the region, but it is imperilled by extremist settler violence and settlement expansion.

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights. Extremist rhetoric advocating the forced displacement of Palestinians and the creation of new Israeli settlements is appalling and dangerous. These actions are not acceptable. We have engaged the Israeli Government on this issue extensively, yet violent perpetrators continue to act with encouragement and impunity. This is why we have taken this action now – to hold those responsible to account. The Israeli Government must uphold its obligations under international law and we call on it to take meaningful action to end extremist, violent and expansionist rhetoric.

The measures announced today do not deviate from our unwavering support for Israel’s security and we continue to condemn the horrific terror attacks of 7 October by Hamas.  Today’s measures are targeted towards individuals who in our view undermine Israel’s own security and its standing in the world. We continue to want a strong friendship with the people of Israel based on our shared ties, values and commitment to their security and future.

Today’s measures focus on the West Bank, but of course this cannot be seen in isolation from the catastrophe in Gaza. We continue to be appalled by the immense suffering of civilians, including the denial of essential aid. There must be no unlawful transfer of Palestinians from Gaza or within the West Bank, nor any reduction in the territory of the Gaza Strip.

We will continue to work with the Israeli Government and a range of partners. We will strive to ensure an immediate ceasefire, the release now of the remaining hostages and for the unhindered flow of humanitarian aid including food. We want to see a reconstructed Gaza no longer run by Hamas and a political pathway to a two-state solution.

I don’t know. Will it? I thought the tariffs on Canada were more based upon Trumps diet, whether or not he had spicy food the night before, and what his wifi access is like for his 3am bathroom tweets, etc…?
Is it Trump or those who put Trump in power?

Why is Israel afraid of supporting Ukraine who is being proxy attacked by Iran?

I thought that was Elon with his fat wallet and ownership of a social media company? We know Trump helped Musk out “a lot” ‘cuz Trump said so on his own social media platform, etc…& Trump bought that one Tesla, etc…so there is that.

Are they? Aren’t Israel & Ukraine (& friends) on one side in the bigger picture, with Iran & Russia (& friends) on the other? BRICS and what have you? Ukraine & Israel don’t blindly support each other, but they’re not directly opposing each other…
I guess it’s complicated like the Russia China Brazil India Pakistan Middle East South Africa thing…

Whose palms did Elon grease? Trump diverted arms destined to Ukraine to Israel which pissed off Ukraine so allegedly Israel sent a 1990s Patriot system but denies it so they don't piss off Russia and the Russians in Israel.

I keep hearing the dollar figure of $280 million towards Trump’s campaign, etc…so where did that go? I’m sure it was an investment that will probably pay off several times over, but…?

So you’re saying Israel donated a 1990’s Patriot system to Ukraine at the end of the day? Didn’t Iran donate some stuff to Russia, & Russia donate some stuff to Iran, and so on and so forth?
Who’re China & North Korea donating stuff to here? Is it to Israel or Ukraine?
I guess it’s complicated….

The Patriot UA was supposed to get was new and capable of taking out Khinzal missiles but they one they got can't but is useful against Shithed drones at least.

Maybe Ukraine needs to play the game Israel does by equating everything to the Holodomor and claiming everyone who doesn't support UA are Nazi Holodomor deniers

The interception of the Madleen is a “flagrant violation of international law”, Hamas said in a statement, calling for the activists on board to be released and saying it holds Israel “fully accountable for their safety”.

Well, there you have it. Hamas said so, & though the irony of Hamas stating others are violating international law, etc…& the activists “must be released” & Israel is “fully accountable for their safety” obviously doesn’t apply to holocaustages, but Hamas or the Gaza Health Authority are not to be questioned. The word irony isn’t ironic enough here.

Anyway, it’s straight from Aljazeera so…
…how many will parrot Hamas? Several environment groups and climate activists have condemned Israel’s seizure of the Madleen and the ongoing blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Greenpeace said that the Madleen was “illegally seized in international waters by Israeli forces” and called for the “immediate release” of its crew. It also called for “unhindered delivery of aid” and an “end to the illegal occupation of Palestine”.

Climate Action Network, which represents climate organisations around the world, called for the immediate release of the activists and strongly condemned “Israel’s armed seizure of the Madleen on its humanitarian mission to deliver food, medicine – and hope – for Gaza’s starving population”.

Climate justice activists, including Mikaela Loach and Ayisha Siddiqa, also shared videos on social media saying, “Our friend Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists have just been kidnapped by Israel” and that “aid to Gaza was stolen”.

I sure didn’t have HAMAS & Climate activists uniting on my 2025 bingo card.

“Madleen must be released immediately,” United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese said. “Breaking the siege is a legal duty for states and a moral imperative for all of us. Every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together – united, they will be unstoppable.”

I wouldn’t advise this coarse of action against a naval blockade but I’m not a “UN RapaNui on the Occupied Palestine Territories” or anything so fill your boots!!

“We strongly condemn the cowardly and illegal Israeli attack on the Madleen as it approached Gaza with desperately needed humanitarian supplies,” the Council on American-Islamic Relations said. “We applaud Greta Thunberg and the other activists of the Madleen who bravely risked their safety and cell phones and freedom to help the starving people of Gaza” etc…& there are others at the link.

What's funny about people accusing Israel of "staving" the poor Palestinians is I saw a report on TV where the reporter was telling us what was happening and, in the meantime, as he's standing there, large 18-wheel trucks loaded with food were driving behind him going into Gaza. I'm sure Hamas allowed all of those trucks in to feed their people & didn't seize anything from those trucks. I'm sure.

There are no 18 wheelers in Israel or anywhere in Asia Europe Africa or Middle East.
