Israel Detains Greta Thunberg’s ‘Selfie Yacht,’ Hands Out Sandwiches: ‘Show Is Over’

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted the Madleen, a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, who were trying to land in Gaza but were detained Monday local time without incident. The Israeli foreign ministry shared video of the activists on the boat, as IDF soldiers handed out sandwiches. The foreign ministry dubbed the boat the “selfie yacht,” mocking the passengers as useful idiots for Hamas. Thunberg made a nearly seamless transition from a youthful career in radical climate change activism to radical anti-Israel activism, becoming a fellow traveler with antisemitic groups, keffiyeh and all.
