After being deported from Israel, Greta Thunberg claimed she and fellow activists were kidnapped while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The group, intercepted by Israeli forces about 125 miles off the coast, was aboard the UK-flagged Madleen ship when it was seized. Thunberg emphasized they acted within the law, calling for the release of remaining crew members and highlighting the dire situation in Gaza. Despite their own challenges, she noted that these pale in comparison to the suffering faced by Palestinians under siege.
We were 12 peaceful volunteers sailing on a civilian ship carrying humanitarian aid on international waters, Thunberg said. We did not break laws. We did nothing wrong.
Thunberg, 22, said on Tuesday that the conditions the crew had faced were absolutely nothing compared to what people are going through in Palestine and especially Gaza right now.
