Israel Deports Thunberg, World Wonders Who's Blockading Whom
MSNBC reports that Israel has deported Greta Thunberg and other Gaza Freedom Flotilla activists, as if confronting a sovereign nation's border security. The media carefully omits that these activists were attempting to deliver aid to a population under blockade, a blockade that the UN and human rights organizations deem illegal collective punishment. This isn't just about 'border security'; it's
about controlling the narrative by controlling access to the open-air prison that is Gaza. The audacity to declare a humanitarian mission a security threat, while starving 2.3 million people, showcases a peculiar brand of 'self-defense.' It appears some governments believe the greatest threat to their security isn't violence, but inconvenient truths delivered by boat. How many 'activists' does it
take to expose a siege before the world stops pretending it's anything but?
