Greta - "We are sailing again" - with 44 countries from around the world

Global Sumud Flotilla ⛵️⛴️⛵️⛴️

On August 31st we are launching from Spain the biggest attempt ever to break the illegal Israeli siege over Gaza with dozens of boats!

On September 4th dozens more boats will join us sailing from Tunisia and other ports and we are also mobilizing more than 44 countries on simultaneous demonstrations and actions to break complicity in solidarity with the Palestinian people!

We need you to join this initiative on this decisive moment!

Staged for the cameras and Don Quixote...

She could do a lot more internationally than this stunt again.

Even Republicans are finally getting sick of Netanyahu esp the young Republicans. When Independent & comic Dave Smith spoke at “Turning Point USA” about how evil the genocide was - he was surprised a large percentage of young Republicans at Turning Point USA were with him. So at a meeting for young Republicans- the anti war speakers were the most popular. When the old folks die and the young run the world - there is hope - as the majority of the young are anti-war.

Looks like dropping numbers of Republicans supporting Netanyahu is getting to him.

Netahyahu blames BOTS in the US for hurting Israel's media propaganda

'There are bots...in America that want to attack the support that Israel has from the Republican side' — Netanyahu
