International waters don't give you immunity, they had a stated aim, though a debatable one when it comes to international law, but assuming they were given a reasonable opportunity to change course, and there were reasonable and safe options for changing course, it isn't piracy - similar situation with the Russian tankers. I don't agree with Israel here but protest action aside it isn't like it was going to go any differently with potential to go much worse.

Since when has Israel given a toss about international law?

She is a awful actress 
Get the hammer out...
A few must be close to being on a watchlist if they aren't already.
Problem with people like Greta is that it often develops a highly polarised situation where one side gets carried away with "good intentions" and the other side gets pushed more and more to the extremes and there is no room for a reasonable middle ground.
EDIT: Though the flip side of that, there are a fair few who don't want to take any responsibility, etc. and attack people like Greta by extension to avoid having to feel like they should be doing better.

I’m in rural France. If I’m racist enough, I get a free bottle of Ricard.
Pastis....yummy.
Well she has turned herself into marmite. Me personally I'd have had no issue with her if she had stuck to climate activisim which I 100% agree with, but we probably disagree on how to tackle that issue.
Nothing but a publicity stunt. They knew they'd never reach there, and the amount of aid they carried was like a drop in the ocean required.
Israel had every right to stop the boat, and probably even saved her and her crews life.

Regardless of the rights and wrongs... She's managed something I haven't yet - flying on a 787! Secretly I bet she enjoyed the thrill of the jet noise spooling up and being pushed back in the seat on take off.
One of the finest ways to travel.
Wonder who gets to pay for the flight? A last minute one way ticket from Ben Gurion to Stockholm via Paris ain't going to be cheap.

I hope she adds that flight to her carbon footprint too. How dare she.

Why is there a 200+ page hate thread on a singular person in general discussion anyway? Why not move the whole thread into Speaker's Corner?
