EDIT (2025-06-02T06:55Z): I think I'm overthinking it 😆 please disregard the following comment.
[…] She tried the same about a month ago and her ship was bombed in a drone strike.
Depending on exactly what they mean by "her ship", this is either false or misleading. Presumably, they are referring to the incident that occurred on 2025 May 2 ^[1]^ where the Conscience was struck while still at anchor in Malta ^[1.2]^; however, Greta Thunberg was not on board that ship during the incident ^[2]^, but she was supposed to board it ^[2]^. Therefore, it would be false if, by "her ship", they meant she was physically present on the ship during the incident, or it would be misleading, imo, if, by "her ship", they mean that she was supposed to be on it. Another possible option could be that they meant that she personally owns the ship; however, if so, that would also be false, as it is owned by a Turkish NGO ^[1.1]^.

You're taking the sentence way too literally, you need to chill a little, dude. They mean the ship she was due to travel on. It's longer to say it that way, so they say "her ship". Similarly, if you were going to fly on an airplane, people would say what time does your plane land? They don't think you own the plane. You had a misunderstanding.
[…] You had a misunderstanding.
When I first read it, it felt, to me, like they were insinuating that she was on board and in transit while it happened, but on second thought perhaps I read too much into it.

This is so dangerous and dumb. So much risk for what seems to me as no gain.
She will help more people alive than dead.
It'll fuel activists if anything happens to her. Someone's gotta lead, at least appreciate the balls.

These Gazans are going to get eliminated, nobody wants to help them, just ask Kuwait and Lebanon. Israels tolerance for terrorism was the only reason they were still alive to begin with, and the murder spree has broken that tolerance.
Imagine if you were an Israeli citizen and there were religious fanatics coming into your towns and murdering and kidnapping everyone, what would be your response and expectation of your government?
