I feel like, not even the actual fucking nazis would have done something like that because they would’ve considered it too dishonerable. The Israeli stains on humanity have no shame.

Read the title and thought she may have been dead, scared the crap out of me. Glad everyone is safe. Crazy stuff
thought she may have been dead,
If Israel had its way she would be.
I saw it more as a message. I think they probably knew she wasn’t on the boat at the time, but are showing them that they could end them at any moment if they so please.
Not that I think these people give a shit, particularly Greta. That girl is fearless. If anything, this is just Streisand Effect for their flotilla and her message.
So well done, Israel.
Trump would’ve sent them a bouquet as thanks

Israel just loves killing activists, doesn’t it?
Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American nonviolence activist and diarist.[1][2] She was a member of the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement (ISM)[3] and was active throughout the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories. In 2003, she was in Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli military was demolishing Palestinian houses at the height of the Second Intifada. While protesting the demolitions as they were being carried out, she was killed by an Israeli armored bulldozer that crushed her.[4][2][5][6]

Corrie went to Gaza as part of her college’s senior-year independent-study proposal to connect Olympia and Rafah with each other as sister cities.[7] While in Rafah on March 16, 2003, she joined other ISM activists in efforts to nonviolently prevent Israel’s demolition of Palestinian property,[2][8][9] where she was killed by an Israeli bulldozer that crushed her. Physicians present and fellow ISM activists stated that Corrie had been wearing a high-visibility vest and was deliberately driven over, while the Israeli army said that it was an accident because the bulldozer operator did not see her.[10][11][12][13] Following the incident, an Israeli military investigation concluded that Corrie’s death was the result of an accident and that the bulldozer operator had limited visibility. The ruling attracted criticism from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B’Tselem, and Yesh Din.[14][15][16] HRW stated that the ruling represented a pattern of impunity for Israeli forces.[14]
“a pattern of impunity for Israeli forces” back in 2003
In 2005, Corrie’s parents filed a civil lawsuit, charging the Israeli state with not conducting a full and credible investigation into the case and therefore holding responsibility for her death.[17] They contended that either she had been intentionally killed or the Israeli soldiers on scene had acted with reckless neglect.[5] They sued for a symbolic US$1 in damages. However, an Israeli court rejected their suit in August 2012 and upheld the results of the military’s investigation, ruling that the Israeli government was not responsible for Corrie’s death,[5] again attracting criticism from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and various activists.[14][15][16] An appeal against this ruling was heard on May 21, 2014, but was ultimately rejected by the Supreme Court of Israel on February 14, 2015.[18]
And corporate interests too, to make it all really fucked up.
Revelation of Caterpillar surveillance In 2017, documents emerged that showed Caterpillar had hired private investigators to spy on the family of Rachel Corrie following her killing in early 2003.[126][127]
James Henry Dominic Miller (18 December 1968 – 2 May 2003) was a Welsh cameraman, producer, and director, and recipient of numerous awards, including five Emmy Awards. He was killed by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) gunfire while filming a documentary in the Gaza Strip.[1] Miller worked regularly with Saira Shah for several years, and they formed a business partnership to operate an independent production company called Frostbite Productions in 2001.
The Israeli Military Police investigation into Miller’s death closed on 9 March 2005 with an announcement that the soldier suspected of firing the shot would not be indicted as they could not establish that his shot was responsible, though he would be disciplined for violating the rules of engagement and for changing his account of the incident.[2] On 6 April 2006, the inquest jury at St Pancras Coroner’s Court in London returned a verdict of unlawful killing, finding that Miller had been “murdered.”[1] Forensic experts from London Metropolitan Police concluded that the bullets were consistent with those used by the IDF. After meetings with the Miller family, the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, sent a formal request to his Israeli counterpart in June 2007 for prosecution proceedings to be enacted within six weeks against the soldier responsible for firing the shot.[3] The requests were ignored by the Israeli government and prosecution proceedings have never been held.
Like, didn’t we freak out (justifiably) when North Korea killed an American kid? Is it just acceptable to routinely slaughter non combatants without recourse?

In January 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah had never been a nurse and that she was the daughter of Saud Nasser Al-Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States at the time the testimony was made. She and her father were members of the House of Sabah, the ruling family of Kuwait. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of a wider public relations campaign conducted by the Kuwaiti government-in-exile’s Citizens for a Free Kuwait, which sought to encourage American military involvement against Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait through coordination with the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton. In the aftermath of the Gulf War, the Nayirah testimony came to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.[1][2]

Buddy, please, log off.
I know it’s hard to accept it, but it’s been a while since my people haven’t had to listen to your people.
Your people? My people? Excuse me?? Who the hell do you think you are? Who the hell do you think I am?
You know the answers to all of those questions.
Historically speaking, successful social change for the better, eg revolutions, has almost always come only when certain middle class/privileged people joined with underprivileged people.
Attacking anyone who is richer or whiter than yourself, when they are on the same side as you, is stupid.
Successful for whom? You do see the problem, right?
To add to this: You do see the irony in replying to a post about white activism and its hypocrisy with “well, activism works better when white people get involved”? Right? RIGHT?
Successful in their aims.
What on earth makes you think I was referring to “white people” getting involved in non-white struggle??? Modern American race politics is meaningless in the context of the last thousand years of historical change.
I recommend you get yourself a copy of, say, The People’s History of the World and read up on social change in ancient Rome, the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Caliphates etc.
What I am talking about is simply a matter of historical record.
A specifically non-white non-western example I can give you off the top of my head is the importance of the involvement of warrior caste people like Adbaraya Toya in the Haitian revolution.
What are you even talking about ?

Such a lavish lifestyle with a new worth of $100k. Eating (checks notes) small cheap vegan meals and using public transportation.
You’re saying that like it’s a win for you. It’s not.
If you think having a net worth of $100k makes you rich and have a lavish lifestyle, then I’m just going to either say good luck with life or hope you have a nice birthday party when you turn 6 years old.
Your bits are contamination. Go offline Steve, have a nice day.
I could be 24/7 on Lemmy and still do less harm for the environment than Greta ever will by simply just existing. You need to let go of your internalized racism.
which racism? this is the Internet, no one knows you’re dog!! OR which breed, for that matter.
Fuck chihuahuas though, right?
This isn’t the Internet. This is Lemmy, which skews male and white.
So?
