June 1st, we’ll attempt to, again, sail towards Gaza and to try to break the siege and open up a humanitarian corridor by delivering aid like food and medical supplies,” says Thunberg. A similar mission to sail to occupied Gaza in May was aborted after a flotilla dubbed the “Conscience” suffered two drone attacks while in international waters.

“Keep your eyes on deck, continue flooding the streets, organize, boycott, and do everything in your power to stand for Palestine,” Thunberg ends her message, readying to set sail for Gaza from Catania, Sicily, on Sunday with aid supplies and several high-profile activists alongside her.

I didn't realize she was personally aiding in humanitarian efforts.

I didn't think I could respect this person more.

Keep her away from her young nephews I guess.

Everybody got some weird shit, I'm sure she will too.

She seems to be most of what Gandhi is remembered for and none of the stuff that he should probably be hated for. Maybe it'll come out that she's done some horrible things, but I doubt it.

Honestly if conservatives or even certain liberals had anything on her, they would have released it by now.

Yep, that's why I doubt there's anything particularly bad. In this age, there's no way to hide much, particularly if you're as (in)famous as she is. The ultra-wealthy can suppress a lot with their wealth, but anyone else is going to be dragged into the light if it's out there.
