Sweden: Greta Is Home

Sweden’s ambassador to the world, Greta Thunberg is back home after being plucked off a boat headed for Gaza by the Israeli navy and being deported back to Sweden. Apparently, she views the whole thing as a lark, according to her giggling responses to questions from a reporter about Hamas.

The article below from the conservative Swedish site, Samnytt, is translated by Fousesquawk. Among other things, it calls attention to two of Greta’s shipmates.

Greta laughed at Hamas question

Posted at 16:16

Greta Thunberg is being noticed for having laughed at questions from Sweden’s Radio whether people who are behind her boat trip to the Gaza Strip are connected to the terror group, Hamas.

On Tuesday evening, the extreme leftist activist, Greta Thunberg, landed at Arlanda Airport (Stockholm). This was after Israeli commandos boarded her boat, Madleen, on Monday in international waters, and Thunberg was then deported back to Sweden.

Laughs at questions

A reporter from State Radio uses the opportunity of Thunberg’s arrival to ask her how she sees (the fact that) some of her fellow passengers express support for the two terror groups, Hamas and Hezbollah.

“I haven’t heard about that or what these people have said,” Thunberg answers and laughs. 

She continues to laugh and giggle at the questions and is dismissive.

“Should I ask everyone what exactly they have said about everything?” she wonders.

Two persons

There are two people in particular tied to “Gaza Freedom Flotilla” who are noted for their views and positions.

One of them is Zahar Birawi, a “founding member” of Freedom Flotilla International Coalition, and arranger of the trip. Great Britain’s Parliament describes Birawi as a person with connections to the terror group Hamas. In addition, he has been accused of being a Hamas agent.

The other is the Brazilian activist, Thiago Avila, who was on board Madleen together with Greta Thunberg and 10 other activists.

The 22-year-old Greta Thunberg and the 38-year-old Brazilian are seen together in several photos and video clips from the trip on board Madleen. In some of them, they are holding each other.

Attended Nasrallah’s funeral

Thiago Avila is a radical anti-Israel activist. He claims, among other things, that it was Israel, not Hamas, who murdered most of the victims of the terror attack on October 7, 2023. Also, that “Zionists know this very well”, but are keeping it secret from the public.

But perhaps the most conspicuous feature about Thiago Avila is that in February, he traveled to Lebanon to attend Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s funeral in Beirut.

The visit to Lebanon and his attendance at Nasrallah’s funeral were something that Thiago Avila himself documented thoroughly. The 38-year-old uploaded several film clips of the trip, which his more than 800,000 Instagram followers were able to view.
