Early this morning the Israeli navy took control of the British-flagged yacht Madleen, emphasis on Mad, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which was attempting to enter a war zone to give comfort adsupport to the genocidal death cult that invaded my country killing, torturing, raping, and kidnapping hundreds in including our elderly, girls, and babies.
The vessel, carrying 12 activists including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan, was intercepted without incident, and no injuries were reported.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed the passengers were unharmed, provided with food and water, and would be repatriated to their home countries. The Ministry dismissed the flotilla as a “media stunt” and emphasised that the small amount of aid aboard would be delivered through authorised humanitarian channels.
The first thing this lying little Scandinavian told the press was,
“‘IDF soldiers kidnapped me.”
Give me a break!
Kidnapped?
Is this what a “kidnapped” person looks like? Getting a sandwich, water, and a free plane ticket to take her back home!
How dare she say those words when there are real Israeli hostages who’ve been held in tunnels under Gaza in hellish conditions for over 600 days!
She wasn’t going to Gaza to give water or a sandwich to our hostages – or even to visit them.
So spare me your moralising as the Western press fawn over you.
Our hostages didn’t get the press fawning over them as they are with this little ionized liar.
Neither the press, nor the Western politicians particularly the Scandinavian ones of which she belongs, have lifted a finger to force Hamas to release our lived ones.
On the contrary, they have booed and jeeered at Israel every day for a year and a half.
There are no limits to Greta’s lies.
She has made her fame and fortune over empty stunts like this and attracted millions of mainly immature activists willing to echo her every empty word, including those in the cause of a Palestinian death cult and against the one Jewish state that is under constant attack by evil regimes including but not exclusively Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and within the Palestinian movement.
Would she perform this pantomime against Sweden if this death cult had invaded her country, killed over two thousand of her fellow Swedes, and taken 400 hostages, including members of her family and friends?
I doubt it.
So spare me your moralizing.
You are nothing but a vacuous political hypocrite.

To the UK, France, and Canada: Go Shove It
You sanctimonious, hypocritical cowards. How dare you threaten the one Jewish state on earth—after everything your nations did to us. You dare speak of “humanitarian values” while standing on piles of Jewish bones your ancestors buried beneath cobblestones, cathedrals, and charters of “civilized” nations.
Britain
Oh, Britain. The empire that carved up the Middle East with a pencil and a gin-and-tonic. You issued the Balfour Declaration and then slammed the door on Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis. You handed chunks of Jewish land to Arab monarchs and let Jews die in the Holocaust rather than let them enter your precious Mandate. You interned Holocaust survivors in Cyprus like they were criminals. And now you’re wagging your colonial finger at Jews for building homes on our ancestral hills?
Go shove your royal hypocrisy back into Buckingham Palace and deal with your own collapsing society—where knife crime, antisemitism, and Islamic extremism are more common than fish and chips.
France
Liberté, égalité, fraternité—unless you’re a Jew. You deported over 75,000 Jews to their deaths during the Holocaust with the full cooperation of the French Vichy regime. You let them be shoved into cattle cars from the Vel d’Hiv while Parisians watched. And after the war? No justice. No reckoning. Just decades of indifference and empty words. Today, Jews are being stabbed in the streets of France, synagogues are under military guard, and you still have the audacity to lecture us about morality?
You couldn’t defend your own republic from a gang of jihadists in a van, but now you want to dictate how Israel defends itself from genocidal terrorists hiding behind human shields? You are morally bankrupt and culturally collapsing. Go lecture someone else while your republic burns.
Canada
Oh Canada—America’s cold, smug, spineless cousin. Your “moral high ground” is a snow-covered hill of lies. You locked Jewish refugees out during the Holocaust. The ship St. Louis begged for your mercy. You sent them back—to die. “None is too many,” your officials said. That’s your legacy. Your history. And today, your politicians pose for photo ops in mosques that glorify martyrs while denouncing Israel for fighting genocidal killers.
You’ve turned your universities into Hamas fan clubs and your Parliament into a circus of virtue signaling. You host terrorists in suits and call it diplomacy. You abandoned the Jews when we were stateless, and now you want to punish us for defending our state?
Here’s Our Response
We’re not the broken, stateless Jews of 1942. We’re the sovereign people of Israel—armed, aware, and unapologetic. Your sanctions are a joke. Your threats are meaningless. Your moral lectures are garbage. We don’t need your permission to live. We don’t need your validation to fight.
You allowed Jewish blood to soak your soil for centuries. Now that Jews fight back, build, thrive—you clutch your pearls?
Israel doesn’t need your empty Western democracy. We have something older, holier, and stronger: truth, covenant, survival.
Go shove your resolutions where the sun doesn’t shine.
We’re not going anywhere.
And next time you dare threaten the Jewish state—
Remember who we are now.
– Caroline Glick, Israeli PM’s international Affairs adviser

It seems therefore that there was not any bourgeois country not in Russia in 1918 on
But it was a different matter for the oppressed
Of all countries
https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/newspape/irishmr/vol06/no17/bryce.pdf
Quote
“Yet the impact of the Russian Revolu-
tion on Ireland, this mortal danger to the
whole of Europe and the British Empire, is
barely remembered in the official history of
either the Northern or the Southern states
in Ireland.
The Russian Revolution had a deep im-
pact on Ireland, with waves of strikes and
workplace occupations declaring themselves
‘soviets’, as well as four general strikes ‘more
powerful and radical than those in the cities
of Britain’ 6 and numerous attempts to seize
landed estates between 1919 and 1922.
The parallels with the massive social up-
heaval in Russia were not lost on the workers
and poor farmers and landless labourers who
drew inspiration from the new Soviet govern-
ment, nor on the wealthy farmers, industri-
alists and church leaders who were terrified
of the implications for their property and po-
litical power. The Russian Revolution drew
the attention of the early Dáil which set out
to gain recognition from the new Bolshevik
state, and the whole question of Irish inde-
pendence and its violent suppression by the
British government exerted a profound in-
fluence on the revolutionary policies of the
early Bolshevik government in its attitude
to national freedom.
So
Therefore if Sebastien Zorn does not make a reassessment of his venal hatred for the Russian Revolution, and understanding that oppressed did support it, including Irish Jews, this will add up to nothing but cowardice on his part
@fquigley {weary sigh} Yes, dear.

Sebastien Zorn you can bet that Lenin or Trotsky today would not ignore global warming of planet as you do

They’re back. Thanks
A MASSIVE AND REACTIONARY DISTRACTION
This is a distraction from at least 3 major things
1. Just how cruel islam is. Greta distracts from October 7 which in short is the outcome of the Muslim Brotherhood
2. Greta has become a distracting factor from the awful horror of the relentless buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere. That is she distracts from the real truth and gain for the planet Earth of the authentic science of climate.
3. The Neocons hatred of Russia which exposed their hatred of a socialist system

I guess both Arthur and Donaldo are right. She is, if memory serves, the daughter of an advertiser back in Sweden and was “promoted” to climate activity based on her ability to scream “How dare you?” at the UN. I would suggest a more palatable candidate in her stead. ”
I read into your paragraph right there that you deeply believe that the Science of Global Warming IS indeed a real science but you lack the mental fortitude to say so.
You take the easy road and go with the crowd
But at least you are close to reality.
It’s not October 7 that Mr Shaw fights it’s the science of Climate Change which he is so very opposed to.
Sebastien Zorn is opposed to everything socialist including Lenin and Trotsky (most likely Robert Owen too) in reality just that and not Thunberg who cannot connect with those two leaders. Either.
More Zorn has in common with Greta than you would ever believe.
@Adam D.
You just gave me a great idea for a placard or banner for Thunberg counter-protesters”

Barry, Islmists have in fact murdered hundreds, if not thousands of Swedes inside Sweden. They have also brutally raped hundreds, perhaps thousands of Swedish women. These Islamist have been admitted as imimgrants or self-described refugees requesting asylum in Sweden. Even when Swedish courts have rejected their asylum applications and issued orders to deport them, these violent migrants have remained, the Sweish police not having the courage to deport them. Sweden has gone from being a country with one of the lowest crime rates in Europe to one with one of the highest within the space of a few years. I suppose the Islmist rapists and murderers have spared Greta and her immediate family. But if she is rational, she should realize that the Islamist sthugs in Sweden might not spare her forever.
@dreuveni
I’m reminded of Woody Allen’s brilliant parody of the far left “Bananas”(1971) in this case. Of Joseph Welsh to Senator McCarthy during the army hearings, . “at long last sir, have you no shame.” (which I think is a quote from a 19th century Russian novel, which genre he parodied in “Love and Death.” (1975))
Bananas:
Yes, unequivocally. Far leftists in the U.S. have applauded every U.S. defeat, extended solidarity to every enemy of their country, and declared that 9/11 was just payback against so-called, “U.S. Imperialism.”
This is not limited to the U.S. and even predates Lenin, who advocated this position. Louise Michel, a French Anarchist who was one of the leaders of the Paris Commune, went to New Caledonia to fight her country, France, after the Commune was crushed in 1871. Of the demise of the Commune, Marx wrote, that what was needed was a combination of a Paris Commune and the German Peasant Wars though he thought the revolution could be accomplished peacefully in the U.S. due to the lack of an entrenched military industrial complex, which we have now but, nonetheless, enter Bernie Sanders and the Squad. And now AOC-endorsed NYC mayoral candidate from “the people’s republic of Queens,, Zohran Mandani who promises to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to New York.
Remember Jane Fonda in Vietnam?
This has been a major hasbara error forever. It doesn’t help to bring up the U.S. history of dispossessing Native Americans. THEY AGREE and conflate the U.S. and Israel.
THAT’s why maybe 10 or 15 years ago, A drunken white pro-pal leftwing student from New Zealand at the Columbia affiliated Union Theological Seminary, where I had been having a quiet drink with a friend, chased me around a restaurant in the area, shouting, “Americans ought to be gassed.”
And that’s why Sweden is the Islamist rape capital of Europe with the enthusiastic endorsement of useful idiots like Thunberg, who don’t care what people say or do -but only where they supposedly, (their class or ethnic role) fit – by birth- (except for them) in the struggle
“the issue isn’t the issue; power is the issue.” – “Rules for Radicals” – Saul Alinsky
It has “explanatory power,” to think of them as the equivalent of Tokyo Rose and Axix Annie during WW2.
And we’ve been in an undeclared, or more accurately unrecognized Cold War for a very long time. Our enemies have repeatedly declared it in their own languages all along.

My answer to Zorn
Others may bear me out. Neither Marx nor Engels were jihad supporters. Not Troysky or Lenin
I do not remember it being an issue in their time
It, islam, has been given great power in our day
The ideology of Islam has got a new opening in our time
The opponents of these Marxists above was capitalism and capitalist countries. It follows that islam is a product of capitalism, and of Stalinism which is a product of capitalism.
These Marxists (who Sebastien Zorn continually attacks) fought for revolution as was their right.
Peacefully if possible. With the arming of the working class if not.
And the Irish Rebels had a right to Rise against Britain in the Easter Rising. As had the Vietnamese.
The war in Vietnam was illegal in every respect.
As is the war against Russia today. The Ukrainian War against Russia has the same content.
Socialism has a right to replace capitalism
The Paris commune which Sebastien Zorn is attacking here was a very early stage of that uprising against capitalism.
It was to be carried on and through in the Russian Revolution of 1917

Replied
“AI Overview

During the Russian Civil War (1918-1922), several countries provided support to the White Army, a collection of anti-Bolshevik forces, though the extent of their involvement varied. These included countries like the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Japan, and also some Central Powers nations like Germany and Austria-Hungary. Additionally, Greece, Italy, and China also provided support, according to the University of Warwick.
Countries that Supported the White Army:
Allied Powers (Triple Entente):
United Kingdom: Provided financial and military support to the White Army, according to Wikipedia and deployed troops to various locations in Russia.
France: Similar to the UK, France offered financial aid and military assistance to the White forces.
United States: While not as heavily involved as the UK and France, the US also provided aid and resources to the White Army.
Japan: Deployed troops to the Russian Far East and supported White forces in that region, according to Wikipedia.
Italy: Provided some military and financial support.
Greece: Offered some military and financial support.
Central Powers (sometimes):
Germany: Supported the White movement in areas it occupied, according to Wikipedia and also aided the White forces in Ukraine.
Austria-Hungary: Supported the White movement in areas it occupied.
Other:
China: Provided support to the White forces in the Far East.
Canada, Australia, and India: These British Empire territories contributed troops to the Allied intervention.
South Africa: Also sent troops to support the Allied effort. ”

I believe your comment is over the 400 word limit.Next time, try breaking a long comment like this into 2 parts.
I guess both Arthur and Donaldo are right. She is, if memory serves, the daughter of an advertiser back in Sweden and was “promoted” to climate activity based on her ability to scream “How dare you?” at the UN. I would suggest a more palatable candidate in her stead.
When she was in Canada a few years ago, she lived in a borrowed Tesla. When she bugged out, it looked like a homeless person had been living in it with McDonalds bags and cartons all strewn inside a foot deep.
She care nothing about the environment, or now Gazans. She is a WEF-NWO goon.
Perhaps she should be introduced to some of the friendly Arabs now being held in Israeli jails by being placed in a cell with five or six of them and left for a week or so just to see what happens.
