GRETA'S GAZA GETAWAY! Wacky voyage of the S.S. Thunberg

Article content

Where were the Skipper and Gilligan on board Admiral Greta Thunberg’s “Freedom Flotilla”?

Sadly, we’ll never know as the good ship Madleen ran into headwinds by way of the IDF about 200 km from its final destination, from Gaza.

Survivors of the wreck of the S.S. Minnow in the 1960s TV sitcom were a lot more likable and less prone to melodrama and virtuous antics.

On Monday, Thunberg declared that her rag-tag crew of activists had been “kidnapped!” by the IDF. Still, few kidnappers sort you out with pastrami sandwiches and water.

After realizing there was boffo bucks in protesting against Israel, the Swedish actor-vist ditched whales, rivers, mountains and almost every other creature on the planet. Unless you live in Gaza, you are now passe.

The elfin 22-year-old’s latest escapade was setting sail on the Madleen with other activists looking for adventure and social media plaudits. Their goal: “Break the siege” and deliver aid to Gaza. The sailboat (oddly, they only appeared to be using the diesel engines) was bringing “aid,” really a “symbolic” amount but never mind that …

Of course, aid is flooding into the besieged seaside city. Terror cult Hamas is just not letting suffering inhabitants have it.

Here’s your cheat sheet to Greta’s seafaring social justice activists.

GRETA THUNBERG

411: The pixie-like protester ditched the earth and doubled down on Gaza, becoming a frequent flier at anti-Israel protests in Europe, complete with keffiyeh and combat jacket. Now, the Swedish scold has been photographed wearing a sou’wester.

LIAM CUNNINGHAM

411: The Irish actor is best known for playing the wise Davos Seaworth in the HBO epic Game of Thrones. Will Greta become his Red Queen? Does he know that his role as Davos was fictional?

THIAGO AVILA

411: The Brazilian is a big-time terrorist fanboy. When Hezbollah boss Hassan Nasrallah was iced, Avila attended his funeral in February. He called the fanatic a “beloved” leader and “martyr.” Avila said he was “very honoured” and “very happy” to attend the send-off.

YASEMIN ACAR

411: Veteran hater and resident of Berlin, Acar is known for her antisemitic rants. When Iran launched missiles into Israel, Acar danced with joy, Bild reported. At one demo, she screeched: “You’re a white person, you shouldn’t tell us what to do.”

RIMA HASSAN

411: French politician and certified nutter, Hassan has accused Israel of being the culprit in the Oct. 7, 2023, kidnappings and murders of wee Kfir and Ariel Bibas and their mother Shira. She reportedly tweeted: “Kfir, Ariel, and Shiri Bibas were killed by an Israeli attack.” At a demo in Jordan, the PC politician called for the destruction of Israel and joined a chant shouting: “We die for jihad.”

OMAR FAIAD

411: French “journalist” employed by Al-Jazeera (go figure) has scoffed at the Holocaust and compared the IDF to Nazis. He tweeted: “The Israeli army resembles the Nazi army.”

OTHERS

411:  Pascal Maurieras — French activist; Yanis Mhamdi — French reporter; Suayb Ordu — Turkish activist; Sergio Toribio — Spanish activist; Marco van Rennes — Dutch activist; Reva Viard — French activist, and Baptiste Andre — French Physician.

CAPTAIN’S LOG

411: Israel has warned that despite the crew’s faculty lounge bravado, they weren’t getting anywhere near Gaza. The Madleen departed Catania, Italy, on Sunday for the journey. They also claimed to have picked up two migrants floating in the Mediterranean.

DRONES AHOY!

Thunberg and Co. claimed they’re being followed by — what they presume — are Israeli drones, poised to turn the activists into fish food.

SAILIN’ SELFIES

Despite the stress and perilous waters, the silly sailors (but mostly Thunberg) found time to post selfies on social media. Of course, no 2025 activist selfie is complete without a Palestinian flag and the pinnacle of what was once called cultural appropriation, a keffiyeh scarf.

WHINE WITH THAT CHEESE
