“I have instructed the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] to act so that the hate flotilla … does not reach the shores of Gaza – and to take all necessary measures to that end,” Katz said in a statement.

“To the antisemitic Greta [Thunberg] and her friends who echo Hamas propaganda, I say clearly: You’d better turn back – because you will not reach Gaza. Israel will act against any attempt to break the blockade or to assist terrorist organisations – by sea, by air, and by land.”

Wow propaganda alternative realities are really a thing…

Crazy right, I mean how much damage could these 13 young people even do even if they had weapons. It's not like they're on a container ship either, they're not even in bullet proof vests or anything.

Heard someone say they hope they manage to stop that bitch Greta. They also claimed she's a Hapsburg? It's astounding to see people fall for the propaganda in real life.

You want propaganda? Here is the same topic from KAN, translated from Hebrew with Google Translate:

The 13th cruise practiced "non-violent takeover" of Greta's flotilla to Gaza

In Israel, it was estimated that the ship's arrest expected to reach the Gaza coast would be documented and broadcast live worldwide. "We will take over the ship pleasantly and 'flip' them back overseas that night," a senior security official said

Cruise Fighters 13 modeled a "nonviolent takeover" of the "Medlin" ship that is expected to arrive near the Gaza coast tonight (Sunday). Preparedness began because Israel estimated that the ship's arrest would be documented and broadcast live worldwide.

The pro-Palestinian flotilla on which Greta Tonberg is located is expected to reach Israel's territorial waters during the night. On the 13th cruise, nonviolent takeover of the ship was conducted. Senior Security Factor: "We will take over the ship pleasantly and fly them back abroad that night" - From the Dorthane News @ItayBlumental pic.twitter.com/uo357kYCvW

— Here's news (@kann_news) June 8, 2025 The IDF is preparing to take control of the ship and prevent its arrival in the Gaza Strip. According to the plan, the activists will be arrested and the ship towed to the naval base in Ashdod.

"We will take over the ship pleasantly, bring them into custody and then 'wip' them back overseas that night," a senior security official said here this evening.

There are 12 pro-Palestinian activists on the ship, Including former climate activist Greta Tonberg and Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham. The activists on the ship came from the United Kingdom, France, Sweden and other countries, including the European Parliament member from France, Rima Hassan, who described the October 7 massacre as "legitimate action."

If they kill anyone aboard that ship I will likely be radicalised against all who defend Israeli Zionists.. I'm on the fence as it is.
