Greta Thunberg Lands In Greece, US Media Quietly Lands On Its Own Hypocrisy
Al-Monitor reports Greta Thunberg landed in Greece after being expelled by Israel for attempting to join a Gaza aid flotilla. Her description of the Global Sumud Flotilla as the “biggest ever attempt to break Israel’s illegal and inhumane siege by sea” is a detail often missing from those same outlets that now report her expulsion. Funny how the 'war-stricken territory' often becomes merely
'disputed' when discussing blockades and the daily reality for Palestinians. The 'siege,' for example, has been in place since 2007, a policy supported and rarely challenged by the same governments now feigning shock at the humanitarian fallout. While activists like Thunberg are expelled for trying to deliver basic necessities, the US Senate, meanwhile, just approved HR 815 , sending $14 billion
more in military aid to Israel. According to OpenSecrets.org , key senators voting ‘yes’—like Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ)—have received significant AIPAC donations, with Menendez accepting over $100,000 from AIPAC-affiliated PACs in recent cycles . One might ask: whose humanitarian crisis are these politicians truly prioritizing?
