In this first episode of Ziophobe of the Day, we start exposing the Ziophobes of the Clown Flotilla, aka the “Global Sumud Flotilla” or “Selfie Flotilla”.
Let’s start with Greta Tintin (sic) Thunberg.
1/13
An autistic girl mostly known for climate activism, Greta wouldn’t even fly to NYC to attend a climate summit, sailing a designer yacht there instead (the crew had to fly back).
She even got her mother to abandon her international opera singer career by renouncing flying.
2/13
Enjoying activism for its social aspects, for feeling good about herself and for making new friends, at some point Greta realized “Palestinianism” was a bigger deal than climate and would get her even more attention.
She then got completely, utterly drunk on ziophobia.
3/13
And lo and behold: the extinction-threatening-emergency climate concerns were suddenly forgotten — now she’s happily travelling to Israel almost every month on diesel-chugging, highly polluting old vessels, throwing extremely polluting cellphones and plastic into the ocean.
4/13
And, you guessed it, she’s flying back to Sweden each time.
Needless to point out that the Hamas terrorists, as well as a totalitarian-islamic-state misogynistic, genocidal movement, as well as a bunch of murdering, torturing, sexually abusing, child-kidnapping criminals…
5/13
… are also infamous not just as terrorists, but eco-terrorists.
Regularly burning tires releasing highly toxic smoke, and that rare Palestinian invention: incendiary kites and balloons, having burned 1,500 acres of Israeli agricultural land and 2,000 acres of woodlands.
6/13
Activism for activism’s sake: Greta seems to have absolutely no grasp of the nature of Hamas and the reality of the conflict, or any facts or history about it. This culminated with Greta posting a photo of Israeli hostage Evyatar David forced to dig his own grave by Hamas…
7/13
… emaciated from two years of starvation in a damp tunnel, presented as a Palestinian prisoner tortured by Israel. You really can’t sink any lower than that.
The other photo was a suspected drug dealer beaten by Israeli border police (Arwah Sheikh Ali) — for which…
8/13
… seven policemen were charged by Israeli courts (do Palestinian courts ever charge anyone for hurting Israelis? Of course not.).
Greta ended up deleting the post — without any comment or apology.
This was Greta’s second pointless trip to Israel already, by the way.
9/13
On the previous one, she became famous for receiving a Kibbutz Einat kosher pastrami sandwich with a weird smile (she’s supposedly vegan).
On landing in Paris on her way back to Sweden, she pretended to be handcuffed — for the cameras.
10/13
Pointless “activism” is highly addictive, it seems. Unrepentant, and while claiming Israel didn’t treat her well, Greta still said she’ll keep on travelling back and forth to Israel, again and again — if there’s still a war, that is.
11/13
Activism for activism’s sake, again: the aid brought in was insignificant, and they refused Israel’s and others’ offers to deliver it. All of this just for the Instagram selfies.
Of course, we could also wonder who’s financing this show (over 40 vessels and 500 activists)
12/13
All right, that’s enough Ziophobia for today.
In our next episode, we’ll have a look at another Clown Flotilla member, Ana María Alcalde, aka Hanan Alcalde, aka (Klaus) Barbie Gaza.
