Greta Thunberg is on her way back to Europe after her "freedom flotilla" was intercepted off the coast of Israel. She and several other activists were supposedly trying to "break the siege" of Gaza and deliver "aid." In the end, their mission turned into a predictably embarrassing spectacle, although the usual suspects will laud it regardless.
Israeli forces seized the flotilla and took Thunberg and her cohorts into custody on Monday, with pictures going viral of them being provided with sandwiches. They had reportedly eaten most of the "aid" they were set to deliver while sailing from Italy.

What happened next gives the whole game away. Why is Thunberg on her way home, you might ask, instead of valiantly opposing the Israelis? The answer is because she immediately signed a voluntary deportation agreement, leaving the rest of her crew behind in detention to propagate their "revolution."

The remaining 8 refused to sign and were transferred to a detention facility.
They do realize it’s not a hostage situation if they’re refusing to leave, right? pic.twitter.com/VU7nhkUgiS
Thunberg was spotted sitting in coach on an airliner headed for Sweden. She appeared to have an Israeli-colored jacket or blanket around her waist as she sat quietly.
Greta Thunberg just departed from Israel and is flying home to Sweden. Her “aid” stunt flopped. She sailed with a group of celebrities and some food, mostly eaten by the "activists" themselves, made selfies, got intercepted and sent home.

When push came to shove, Thunberg ran away back to Europe instead of standing against what she falsely claims is a "genocide." She's not a revolutionary. She's just an attention-seeking fraud who wants to post selfies and get on television while not paying any cost for her radical activism. We've seen that dynamic play out many times, where Thunberg is "arrested" and released within hours. She's cosplaying.
The other part of this is that Israel was going to make her watch video of the October 7th attacks while in detention. Instead of facing the reality of what her Hamas buddies did, which just might push back on her narrative, she chose to flee at the first chance. That speaks to her complete lack of morality and authenticity. Even if one truly disagrees with how Israel is battling Hamas in Gaza, her complete obfuscation of Palestinian atrocities is the tell that Thunberg has no deep-seated belief about any of this. She's just a Marxist latching onto the next cause.
