The truth IS stranger than the fiction that Thunberg is spouting…
On Monday night, social media was ablaze with reports that Swedish environmental/anti-Israel activist Greta Thunberg’s boat was struck by a bomb launched from a drone. Thunberg, who my colleague Ward Clark likes to call the “Doom Pixie,” is taking part in a civilian boat flotilla headed to Gaza to “break Israel’s naval blockade” of the Hamas-controlled territory.
News soon broke that although a fire broke out on the vessel, Thunberg and other activists were uninjured and were intent on completing their mission.

Now we ‘know’ to take anything she says with a grain (or a thousand) of salt…
And this is one more case of that. Of these 50 ‘ships’ in the convoy, most if not all probably will not make it across the Med to start with.
And it gets even better, as the rest of the story comes out… It appears the activists accidentally lit their own craft on fire with a flare!
Personally, I think this is yet another grab at the fleeting 15 seconds of fame for Thunberg. The last try failed, and I believe all of them know this effort is going the same way, but publicity is publicity…
Perhaps the French special forces could help them out , ala The Rainbow Warrior.
Really, I don’t know who is more pitiful. Greta Thunberg or David Hogg grasping at publicity straws and trying to stay “relevant”. Just go away please.
Anyone who even glanced at that picture and has a passing knowledge of explosives would know that it wasn’t bomb damage. It was pretty obviously some kind of small fire. Lying liars who lie. And yet X comments galore ranting about the evil Israelis.
She was droned?
How Dare You!
How very dare you!
Bon Voyage Greta ! If she makes it , she’ll get a reception , maybe not the one she expects . But , you are right NFO , she wants the attention.
I’m sure the ‘gentleman’ of Hamas will give her all the attention she can handle. Poor little Doom Goblin – NOT
Sink the boats.
She and her fellow travelers are 5th Generation warfare pawns. Odds are, the fire was deliberate to generate publicity.
All- I agree with you! Is it just me, or does her ‘new’ haircut make her resemble Lord Farquaad from Shrek?
Boat ‘mysteriously catches fire.’ Oh, it’s evil Israel!!! (hides the flaregun.)
Boat ‘mysteriously catches fire and Doom Goblin and cohorts die at sea.’ Ah, it’s definitely evil Israel!!!!! (hides the flaregun, smirks, walks away.)
Seriously, within 24 hours of the intel getting out, the story sinks.
And my little ‘passion play’ above, what do you bet that’s what Hamas was planning? And do you think Hamas and their supporters aren’t involved in the protest convoys? And, of course, Hamas has no real care over the life of some retarded kafir other than to use said kafir any way they want, which her death in ‘international waters’ on a ‘peace convoy’ by the ‘evil Israel’ would suite Hamas’ needs very well, no?
First rule of using a flare gun; be smarter than the gun.
Beans- You ‘do’ have a point…
Stretch- True!
Our country lost a great human being. I didn’t know of him until last spring when my son said he was on his college campus and drew a large crowd. He was an amazing human being. The way he spoke to people with such calmness and how allowed people to speak to him with such madness and reply in a calm manner was amazing. He had so much patience in trying to educate people of other opinions. The guy was brilliant. Regardless of your political views Charlie Kirk had an amazing gift in communicating. He nor his family deserve this. We suffer a great loss from his passing. I feel so much sadness for his family.
What is happening to our country where people are assassinated for expressing their viewpoints by people who do not agree? How are we to grow as a nation if we are unable to learn from others and they from us? The people on the Left need to feel the Shame for what has been don, for the remarkable Voice that has been silenced. Such a sad day for this country – Charlie Kirk will be missed, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of many and will never be forgotten…Rest in peace Charlie
