Greta Thunberg Defies Blockade, Faces Senator's Scathing Remark

Gaza Blockade: Freedom Flotilla's Attempt and Senator Graham's Controversial Comment On June 2nd, 2025, a flotilla, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, attempted to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. The mission faced criticism from US officials, including Senator Lindsey Graham, who commented, "Hope Greta and her friends can swim!" The remark referenced a previous failed attempt in May, when the group's ship was bombed in the Mediterranean Sea. This new attempt, however, aimed to deliver humanitarian aid to a population facing severe food shortages and restrictions on essential supplies. The video shows the flotilla setting sail from Catania, Italy, and features footage of the crew, including Thunberg. Before departure, Thunberg stated, "Silence is more dangerous than action." The video contrasts the activists' determination with the dire reality in Gaza, where starving Palestinians are targeted and killed at aid distribution points. The video footage of the previous attack shows the ship engulfed in flames, highlighting the risks involved in such missions. The event underscores the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, emphasizing the need for international attention and a resolution to the blockade.
