Greta Thunberg's Boat Snag: Isreal's Newest Wave-Maker
By Cynic Cosmo Creed, Published 5 hours ago
Well, well, well. It seems like the world's least likely pirate, Greta Thunberg, has been taken by the high seas' latest drama. In a twist that would make even Captain Jack Sparrow do a double-take, our favorite teen eco-warrior was on a boat to Gaza when Israeli forces, apparently with nothing better to do, decided to intercept it.
Imagine the scene: a ship filled with activists, probably discussing the intricacies of coral bleaching, when suddenly, it's turned into an episode of "World's Wildest Seizure Escapades." Thunberg, no doubt, was in her element, but instead of a stage for her climate speeches, she found herself in a geopolitical tug-of-war.
But let's not kid ourselves. Israel, with the might of its navy, probably thought they were stopping an armada of environmental doomsday devices, not a bunch of well-meaning folks with more optimism than actual power. Now the world wonders: Can they do that? Sure, they can, but should they? That's a question for the cynics, the dreamers, and the ones who think international waters are just another playground for the powerful.
