Killing Greta would be the kind of media storm that Israel would not want to deal with
Israel shot the ship last time they tried to go across… I don’t think they care.
I don’t understand why people would think, “they surely won’t kill me, it would be too immoral!” while protesting a literal genocide.
In March 16, 2003, Rachel Corrie, an American nonviolence activist, placed herself in the path of a Caterpillar D9R armored bulldozer in Rafah, in an attempt to impede house demolitions, and was run over by the bulldozer and murdered. I strongly discourage you from finding it, but there is video of her death. They definitely saw her, surely heard her screaming, and they did not hesitate… On March 16, every year since including this year, Israeli soldiers (and others) eat waffles in celebration of killing her.
Imagine trying to bring a humanitarian aid vessel to one of the Jewish ghettos in Nazi germany pre-wwii… Do you think the Nazis would be afraid of “the kind of media storm” they’d get? Or would they just kill them and continue the genocide?
I wouldn’t say it’s pointless, or that it’s not brave… but it’s naive to think that a genocidal regime, who is very public about their genocide, will suddenly have a crisis of conscience because they don’t want to kill white people.
also, for the record, she did not attempt to do this before. She acted like she was going to attempt to, but then didn’t get on the boat. I don’t think she should get on it, either… that’s not her skillset and the only point of her being on it is, “oh but they wouldn’t dare to kill greta!”… and they surely would kill her, and not apologize, and probably celebrate her death.
