As you’ve probably heard, there is a flotilla of boats heading for Gaza with the intent of thumbing their noses at Israel and delivering aid to Palestinians. Today the flotilla got close enough that several ships, including the one carrying Greta Thunberg, have been boarded.
The Global Sumud Flotilla, as they call themselves, has been issuing panicky messages on X all afternoon. “Emergency Alert!!!!!”
EMERGENCY ALERT!!!!!

This is actually pitch perfect for a climate alarmist like Thunberg.
#GlobalSumudFlotilla IS EXPECTING INTERCEPTION IN AN HOUR. STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED!!!

Israel issued a warning that the ships were headed into an “active war zone” and told them to stand down.
The sole purpose of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla is provocation. Israel, Italy, Greece, and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem have all offered and continue to offer the flotilla a way to peacefully deliver any aid they might have to Gaza. The flotilla refused because they are not… pic.twitter.com/pLQj1FLIPA

At that point there was only one thing left to do. Break out the big, red exclamation points. If you thought you’d seen emergency alerts before, you hadn’t seen anything like this:
EMERGENCY ALERT!!!

Could they put any more exclamation points in a single tweet? Why, yes, they could. I can’t even count all of these.

They quickly began hinting that the people on the boats were in danger.

They seem upset that Great Thunberg’s star power isn’t bringing them more attention.
All those politicians who supported #GretaThunberg when she championed for the climate are currently acting like she doesn’t exist.

They claimed Thunberg had been kidnapped.
EMERGENCY ALERT ❗❗❗❗

Some of the activists are announcing a hunger strike.

So some of the boats have been stopped and others are continuing toward Gaza. And that’s where things stand as I write this. It seems likely that all of the boats will be boarded before they arrive in the next 9-12 hours.
Israel has offered to take and deliver the aid on the flotilla ships to Gaza. Also, Greece and Italy have offered to deliver it to Cyprus where the Catholic Church would deliver it to Gaza.
On Wednesday, the Greek and Italian foreign ministries issued a joint appeal asking the group to transfer its aid supplies to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, which would deliver it on their behalf. They said they were concerned that the activists could jeopardize the peace plan that the United States proposed on Monday.
“At this delicate juncture, everyone must refrain from initiatives that could be exploited by those who still reject peace,” they wrote…
Israeli officials had offered to transfer the ships’ cargo to Gaza if they would agree to offload it at an Israeli port or another port in the region. Organizers rejected that offer as disingenuous and said it proved that Israel did not actually consider them to be linked to Hamas.
So that’s it. They aren’t really concerned about delivering the aid so much as they are about making a bunch of emergency alert messages on social media. This is an anti-Israel PR stunt first and a humanitarian effort second.
