Top US senator derides Greta Thunberg’s attempt to break Israel’s Gaza siege
We have a reaction from Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator, to the Swedish activist who joined an effort led by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) to break Israel’s naval siege on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinians there.
“Hope Greta and her friends can swim,†the prominent legislator wrote on X.
The post was taken as a threat by some users on X, as the FFC’s previous attempt to break the Israeli siege was dealt a blow by drone attacks that breached their ship’s hull. Activists at the time said they believed Israel was behind the attack.
Responses to Graham’s tweet on X included users who asked, “Why would a US senator be threatening a young climate activist?†and, “Why is a 69-year-old U.S. senator joking about the drowning of a 22-year-old Swedish activist? Is this where American politics is now?â€
Thunberg as well as Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham are among those joining the mission, which set sail from Italy on Sunday.

Alternative Title: Top US Senator 'Jokes' About Israel Blowing Up a Ship Full of Innocent Citizens From Other Countries.
Sick little cunt, Republicans will scream about how Israel is innocent and all that, then jerk off at the thought of Israel blowing up a ship of civilians, because they know Israel has done it before but they denied Israel was responsible. Lets be honest though, even if this ship was full of Americans and Israel blew it to pieces, Republicans would still defend them.
