Gaza flotilla activists allege mistreatment while being detained in Israel

By VERONICA ANDREA SAUCHELLI and ANDREW WILKS

ROME (AP) — Some of the activists detained while trying to reach Gaza by sea have returned to their home countries to describe mistreatment at the hands of Israeli guards, claims that Israel denies.

Some 450 activists were arrested as Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla, a fleet of 42 boats seeking to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza and deliver a symbolic amount of aid to the famine-stricken territory. Those detained between Wednesday and Friday were brought to Israel, where many remain in prison.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said it offered voluntary deportation to all of the activists and those that remain in detention chose to stay there in order to go through a legal deportation process.

On his return at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport late Saturday, Italian journalist Saverio Tommasi said Israeli soldiers withheld medicines and treated prisoners “like monkeys.”

“We also saw Greta Thunberg at the port, in that case with her arms tied and an Israeli flag next to her, just a mockery,” he said. “Let’s say the mockery was part of the verbal and psychological violence they always carried out, in order to demean, ridicule and laugh in situations where there is nothing to laugh about.”

Another Italian journalist, Lorenzo D’Agostino, said detainees were repeatedly woken during the two nights he spent behind bars. They were also intimidated with dogs and by soldiers pointing the laser sights of their guns at prisoners “to scare us,” he said after landing at Istanbul Airport, where 137 activists from 13 countries arrived from Israel on Saturday.

D’Agostino added that his belongings and money had been “stolen by the Israelis.”

Activist Paolo De Montis described being crammed into a prison van for hours with his hands secured by zip ties.

“Constant stress and humiliation,” he said. “You weren’t allowed to look them in the face, always had to keep your head down and when I did look up, a man … came and shook me and slapped me on the back of the head. They forced us to stay on our knees for four hours.”

Ship of fools- the boats were empty of any actual assistance. This would be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetic; try to run a naval blockade? The crews were lucky they didn’t wind up as fish food. Possibly the worst thing that the idiots could have experienced was actually arriving in Gaza empty-handed. Instant hostages.

  1. “A symbolic amount of aid”. What’s that, about 10 pounds of rice? These asshats have pushed virtue signaling to a new level. I like the idea of letting the next attempt through. They’ve already fucked around (twice), let them find out.

    1. We just posted the same reply eight seconds apart. I’ll type less next time.

        1. You must mean the Cult of the Orange Man. Supposedly, everything this tyrant does is evil and he is controlled by Satan. Just watch South Park for truthiness on this. Trump even sleeps with Satan; I have seen the video. The cuttlefish has likely watched every episode dozens of times, for inspiration.

    2. Does anybody think the IDF didn’t video EVERY interaction they had with Greta Dumberg? These guys engineered the beepers in the pants operation to literally blow the balls off their enemy, and you think they’re NOT going to record her time as their guest? The Foreign Press is dumb as the lame stream media in States.

    3. Don’t this shit-for-brains weirdos have real jobs? Cripe, I wouldn’t have time for this silly shit even if I was stupid enough to pull this ignoramus crap off.

        1. Coincidentally, Hack heard recently that donations to Democrat politicians has dried up substantially, which may or may not be related to the flow of taxpayer money to pet projects of the Woke Left.

  2. Clowns. Forty-two boats and they couldn’t find more cargo space than for “symbolic” levels of assistance? Even 250 lbs per boat would have brought more than five tons of aid. Clearly no actual intention of “helping” but only a plan to get on the news. Some people are born dumb; Greta and her people aspire to it and exceeded their wildest dreams.

    If I’m the IDF and she brings another load of symbolism, I’m letting her through.

    Greta: “People of Gaza, we are here to bring you aid!”

    Gazans: “Yay! Give us the aid!”

    Greta: “uh.” Shamefacedly hands over the last cans of soup from their stores. “It’s symbolic.”

    1. I guess the lunatic left thought she was “cute” when she was young. Now it’s getting weird and just plain silly.

  5. “Constant stress and humiliation”. Apparently they have never spent time in jail, let alone as a “guest” in a foreign country. Somebody needs to explain to them before they go, that they are just a photo op prop. The people bankrolling these things care about these idiots less than the expired food in their fridge that’s getting tossed in the trash.

    Ships of fools? More like useful tools.

    1. .At least these useful tools are still alive & not in a mass grave.
      …..so far……..

  6. “They forced us to stay on our knees for four hours.”

    Obviously never been to a Catholic Sunday mass.

  9. Next time the group attempts to circumvent the Israeli naval blockade, they need to be sent to the bottom of the Mediterranean.

    1. That was the likely objective of the op. At least one sinking, etc.

      Failing that, the “oppressed” take them all hostage for ransom, as a way to get money to them.

  10. It is wild how much you all have been brainwashed to hate a young autistic girl who cares about the environment and human rights.

    I wonder whose interests are being furthered by such a broad propaganda campaign against her for the last decade?

    Also this quote by the Israeli Finance Minister might cause one to wonder why we so steadfastly support Israel no matter what they do.

    1. She’s a prop for the radical left. First used (as a child) by her parents, now by Hamas supporting antisemetic groups. She’s 100% indoctrinated, she knows nothing else. Her parents essentially abused her as a prop for their views, now as an adult she only knows life as someone else’s political stooge. The groups using her don’t care about the environment or human rights, they only care about consolidating their political goals. She’s only a tool to achieve that goal. Much like you.
      Riddle me this, oh knower of all things: What happened to all the humanitarian aide supposedly carried by this flotilla?

      3. Exactly SFC! Spot on! If Commie wants to bust on anyone, he should chastise her parents for mentally abusing her and putting her out there only to be exploited by the radical and sick left. Her parents did this for their own personal, perverted enjoyment and possibly even for some sort of gain on their end. Shame on them, not on us. Once again Commie gets it wrong.

    2. Autistic? Naw man, that’s just good ol’ fashioned retardation.

      And her attempts at activism would be moderately tolerable if they weren’t so fucking hollow and hypocritical.

      One does not get to fly and float around the world and get to lecture me on my windows’ R-value. Doubly so when you’re paid by anti-human lizard people, you triggered fraud of douchenozzle.

      1. I would like to make a motion to add “ you triggered fraud of douchenozzle” to the galaxy of insults. Can I get a second?

    3. First, she’s clueless and being used by the left to virtue signal their narrative, which is a lie.

      Secondly, Smotrich has received a lot of condemnation for his comment, which isn’t reflective of why some support Israel, it’s right to exist, and defend itself.

      You may return to fellatiating yourself.

      2. Lars claims there’s a “broad propaganda campaign against her”. Nope, she IS a propaganda campaign.

    4. I wonder whose interests are being furthered by such a broad propaganda campaign that uses her as a poster child?

    5. She is no longer a young “girl”, she is 22 years old. quite old enough to be held responsible for her own actions and words.

    6. Easy….I’m part Jewish on my father’s side.
      You wanna make something of that, Goyisher kop?

    7. Domestic terrorist detected — opinion rejected.

      Pretty sad you can’t see that she was used and abused by per parents and (now) Hamas to further a BS agenda. As SFC D points out — she’s just a stooge and a shill for big lies now and has no real shot at being known as anything else. A hero, she is not.

      Sucks to suck, dude..

      2. It could be that she knows her days of being useful in media propaganda are coming to an end, thus she’s doing all she can to avoid being tossed upon The Ash Heap of Forgotten Useful Idiots alongside the likes of Cindy Sheehag, Bradley manning et al.

    9. She sure has some super-high functioning autism compared to some autism -diagnosed adults and teens I know.

  13. Boo-fucking hoo…stop trying to illegally break a naval blockade and you won’t be dealt with like the assclowns you are…

  14. Gretta Bugeater to the rescue.

    Gretta Bugeater to the rescue.
