US Reveals How Israeli Border Guards Tormented Thunberg

Well, it is Politico

[Regnum] Israeli border guards mocked Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and other passengers on the Madleen ship, which was carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. Politico wrote about this on June 11.

The newspaper reports the account of a French doctor, Baptiste Andre, who was also on the ship. According to him, there was no physical violence from the Israeli military, but they mocked verbally, limited access to food and water, and also deliberately deprived passengers of sleep - as soon as someone fell asleep, they turned on music and danced.

"I don't have the legal qualifications to explain what happened, but there were acts of abuse," the doctor said.

Earlier, Regnum reported that the activists who were on a boat to the Gaza Strip with Thunberg would be deported from Israel. The activists who refused to sign the deportation documents and leave the country will appear in court, which will then decide on their expulsion from Israel. Thunberg arrived home in Sweden on June 10.

On June 9, an alarm was raised on a vessel heading to the Gaza Strip with 12 pro-Palestinian activists, including Thunberg. Afterwards, the Israeli army boarded the vessel and contact with it was lost.

According to Al Jazeera, the Madleen was intercepted by the Israeli army in neutral waters. After that, all crew members and passengers were ordered to turn off their mobile phones.
They couldn’t do that, because reportedly they’d already thrown their phones overboard to keep them out of Israeli hands.
Before this, the head of the Israeli Defense Ministry, Israel Katz, ordered the country's army to take any measures to prevent the vessel with activists on board from reaching the shores of the Palestinian enclave.

Later on June 9, Thunberg accused the Israeli authorities of kidnapping the activists and called on friends and family to pressure the Swedish government to quickly release everyone on the ship.
Not only did they release them, but they sent them home without charge for the airline ticket. They didn’t even pin their eyelids open to force them to watch the compilation of home movies Hamasniks made during the 10/7 invasion, so dear little Gretakins still doesn’t know what her beloved Hamas did to those Joooooooos that day. Really, I don’t understand what this silly person is complaining about.
