> “They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist Ersin Çelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.
> Lorenzo D’Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy” – a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.
> Thunberg is among 437 activists, parliamentarians and lawyers who were part of the Global Sumud flotilla, a coalition of more than 40 vessels carrying humanitarian aid whose goal was to breach Israel’s 16-year maritime blockade of Gaza.
You are not safe even if you are a citizen of the wealthy and peaceful European nation of Sweden, you are not safe even if you are a global icon of activism and peace, you are not safe.

So let's see for how long we can keep the ~3rd attempt to reflect this news item on this site viable... There was one person who said that none of this is true, the convoy was organized by Hamas, people in Gaza have done bad things like chasing nude persons through the streets, and the convoy didn't have any support goods on board; sources given were two articles from the Jerusalem Post. Anyone to weigh in on any of that?
