Now she really makes the world look.
Who? Who?
The “Environmental Girl”and Greta Thunberg.
I know that many friends don't think about her, thinking that she's good at performing, but it's a typical Western introduction.
There are indeed many flaws in her past, so I won't comment on it; But her recent trip to Gaza, though suspected of being a show, is still awe-inspiring.
I saw that on October 6, after being released by the Israeli army, they returned to Greece.Thunberg delivered an impromptu speech. It can be said that he was full of firepower and showed no politeness to Israel or mercy to the West.
"We are witnessing a genocide, a genocide broadcast live, and no one has the right to say we didn't see it, and no one in the future can say we didn't know," she said.
She lambasted,Our government always talks about human rights, but what matters now is to get humanitarian aid to Gaza... (Our) operation should not have happened, which is a shame. Our leaders, the so-called leaders, they did nothing.
She said, “I will never understand why mankind is so wicked to deliberately starve millions of people living under illegal siege, as a continuation of decades of suffocation, oppression, apartheid and occupation.”
She also said:"I can say for a long, long time about the abuse and abuse we suffered in prison. Believe me, but this is not what I want to say today. Israel is escalating genocide and weapons of mass destruction with the intention of annihilating the entire Palestinian people before our eyes."
He not only denounced Israel's cruelty, but also denounced the hypocrisy of the West, and lamented that this was a shame to the whole world.
Isn't it?
This is common to many Westerners.
Therefore, a large number of Western volunteers, together with Tonberg, formed the"Global Sumud Fleet"(GSF, also translated as "Global Resilience Fleet" or "Global Determined Fleet").
More than 40 fishing vessels and yachts carrying emergency supplies such as medicines, food and other urgent supplies from Gaza are on their way to the waters of Gaza, trying to break the Israeli maritime blockade.
It is ridiculous that Western countries, such as Italy, initially claimed to send warships to escort the fleet.
The escort warships left, let Israeli soldiers board, arrest the volunteers, and then put them in prison.
The "Global Fortitude Fleet" criticized it,"Italian government succumbs to Israeli arrogance and lawlessness".
I believe that among these volunteers, there must be showmen, but they know better that Israeli guns have no eyes and they face unpredictable dangers.
After all, in 2010, in international waters just outside Gaza, the Israeli army attacked an aid flotilla, killing 10 people.
But the brave people left because they couldn’t see it.In Gaza, 70,000 people have already been killed, the vast majority of them women and children.
Although they knew they would definitely be arrested by the Israeli army, what they actually wanted most was to let the world see that they were arrested by the Israeli army in international waters simply for delivering aid to Gaza.
According to volunteers, they have also been humiliated and abused by Israel.
Even in Tel Aviv, according to the disclosure of the arrested,“They grabbed her with little Greta’s hair and beat her, forcing her to crawl and kiss the Israeli flag”; “Tombay was publicly humiliated and forced to wrap the Israeli flag and show up like a cup.”
Of course, Israel strongly denies that the so-called abuse by the Israeli army is a completely "shameless lie" and that the legitimate rights and interests of all detainees have been "fully guaranteed."
In the end, probably and considering the strong pressure from the international community, more than 100 people including Tonberg were quickly expelled from Israel.
But influenced by this incident, Europe has held massive demonstrations on a daily basis to protest the killing of Israel and call for Palestinian freedom.
Italy went on a national strike because the Italians were very angry. When Britain, France and other countries recognized the Palestinian state, Italy refused to recognize it, and Italian warships were even more laughed at by the whole world.
Finally what do you think?
Let's make three superficial points.
First, Israel completely lost this public opinion war.
Frankly speaking, in the past, Israel was a master of public opinion warfare. Anyway, between Israel and Palestine, Israel has always had the upper hand in international propaganda, and Palestine can only pick up shoes.
But now, because of Tonberg's actions, Israel has stood on the opposite side of international morality and completely lost this public opinion battle.
Here, there is a good ability to guide the public opinion, she knows how to create events, how to inspire people's anger, how to render her own sadness.
In the battle of international public opinion, topic setting is very important.
There are also people who do not think about her.
For example, I saw that Trump criticized:“She’s a troublemaker and she has anger management problems.I think she should go to the doctor.If you’ve watched her, you’ll find that as a young man, she’s out of anger and just crazy...”
Tombayri was not crazy, but she led the “global stealthy fleet” that made the world see Israel’s barbarism and the tragedy of Gaza, so that the West could never ignore it anymore.
I see that in Western social media, many people are also upset:Thank you, Tunberry,Fighting behind the keyboard is easy, but facing evil requires real courage, thanks to you for standing up, fighting these atrocities, and choosing humanity.
The most courageous act of a person is often to choose to face the truth when the whole world goes around.
Secondly, the shameful hypocrisy and duplicity of the West.
As Thunberg asked, we watched the tragedy happen. What did the West do?
Nothing was done!
Western nations have not put enough pressure on Israel, but they are still shipping weapons to help kill Israel.
Where are your freedom of human rights, whom you always cried out, and what face do you have to criticize this critic in the world?
If freedom only exists in slogans, it is the most exquisite hypocrisy; If human rights only apply to the chosen object, it is the most complete betrayal.
The moral tower of the West is collapsing.
Therefore, the Europeans themselves cannot stand it and are constantly holding demonstrations to protest against the hypocrisy of the government and do nothing.
When slogans run counter to reality, no matter how gorgeous words are, they cannot cover up the collapse of morality.
Third, the tragedy will continue, which is the most sad thing.
Hamas has also responded positively to Trump’s 20 clauses, with signs that the two-year bloody war is about to end.
But please forgive me, I am still very pessimistic. The current tragedy can end, but a new tragedy will definitely occur.
I’ve always said that Hamas has massacred Israeli civilians, and that it’s unacceptable for the international community, and that Israel deserves sympathy at first.
But is this revenge justified by the general limitation of vengeance, the guilt of the head, the deaths of 70,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children?
Under Israeli and U.S. encirclement, Hamas may fail, but to see more, Hamas is not a military organization, but rather an ideology.
The Gaza issue, the Palestinian issue, is not just about Hamas.
The problem is more occupation and oppression, humiliation and hopelessness.
It should be seen that, like other occupied lands, the Palestinians have fought under a variety of ideologies.
Even in today's Palestine, there is the secular nationalist Fatah, the Palestinian Front influenced by progressive ideas, and radical religious organizations such as Hamas.
Even if Hamas finally surrenders its weapons or disappears, will the Palestinians accept a humiliating fate?
There will definitely be a new Hamas, a new resistance group, and they will continue to fight under new flags.
Without an independent Palestinian state, Israel will not live in peace and Palestinians will continue to suffer.
By violence and violence, the seeds of hatred can only grow rooted in the bloodstream; the possibilities of the future can only be buried in a painful turn.
But we also see a huge transformation in a person from the young Tonberg.
She is definitely not perfect and may be counterattacked in the future. Trump has a strong opinion of her.
But as a woman, she saw the rough road, stepped forward, was not afraid of risks, and made many Westerners and Arabs feel ashamed.
