Watch: Israel Intercepts Greta Thunberg's Gaza-Bound Selfie Flotilla

As my grandfather was fond of saying, "You can teach 'em, but you can't learn 'em."

Case in point: Greta "Doom Pixie" Thunberg's latest in self-promotion, the Selfie Flotilla, has been intercepted by Israel, and those on board have been arrested. It seems having ABBA music blasted at them wasn't punishment enough. The Selfie Flotilla's crews included the Doom Pixie herself, along with, among others, several European lawmakers.

They never learn.

Israeli naval forces intercepted 39 vessels from a Gaza-bound aid flotilla on Thursday, detaining dozens of activists — including international climate activist Greta Thunberg and several European lawmakers, The Associated Press reported.
The Global Sumud Flotilla, which set out across the Mediterranean with more than 40 boats carrying about 500 activists, was the largest yet to attempt to break Israel’s blockade of the enclave, according to the AP.

It could be a thousand boats, and Israel wouldn't let them through. These useful idiots claim to be delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, but recent events inform us pretty plainly that much, perhaps most of such aid is being intercepted by Hamas. That is, those remaining members of Hamas who have not yet been rendered into flying spare parts by the Israel Defense Forces.

Now, only one selfie ship remains:

The flotilla has since been reduced to a single vessel still headed toward Gaza. Organizers with the Global Sumud Flotilla said on X that the boat was last tracked only a few miles off Gaza’s coast before contact was lost. Activists told the AP that they believed the flotilla’s size would make it harder for Israeli forces to intercept every vessel.
Photos and surveillance footage captured the moment Israeli soldiers in helmets and night vision goggles boarded the flotilla. A photo from Israel's foreign ministry showed Thunberg, the most prominent of the flotilla's passengers, accompanied by soldiers following the interception. Israeli officials said those detained included Thunberg, former Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau and European Parliament member Rima Hassan, according to the AP.

Israel seems to be doing pretty well at rounding these people up. Watch:

It seems that the Doom Pixie's reward will be the same as last time: A cheap, economy-class ticket for a seat way in the back of a carbon-spewing airliner, all the way back to Sweden. Hope she brought a book.

New: Greta Thunberg's Gaza Selfie Fleet Stymied by LGBTQ+ Crew Member

It's belaboring the obvious to note that, while these useful idiots are intoning piously about "international law," they are in fact intruding on a war zone, and an argument could be made that they are delivering logistical support to Israel's enemy, Hamas. Government or private, throughout most of human history, that would have justified Israel putting them at the bottom of the ocean. After all, a torpedo means never having to say you're sorry. Israel, to their credit, is taking a softer tone; the aid, we noted from the video above, will be distributed by Israel to the proper people, and the "activists" will be deported.

I won't pretend to know the motivations of the people on this flotilla, other than the one thing they all have in common: Antipathy towards Israel. That's enough in itself to hold them in pretty low esteem, not to mention their attempts to supply Israel's enemy, whether that be by intent or ignorance; the latter seems more likely. But Greta? This is beginning to smell a lot like the Doom Pixie is beginning to grow desperate to expand her 15 minutes of fame to 30 minutes, maybe an hour. The climate scolding didn't work out. Will a big dose of Hamas-supporting keep her in the limelight of the global left?

Well, she's certainly in the news cycle. Again. But it seems to be backfiring, as she's more a subject for amusement than anyone who should be taken seriously.
