Israel says it intercepted latest Gaza flotilla, with all passengers safe and set for deportation; 131 of last flotilla sent to Jordan

Another failed Hamas investment?
[IsraelTimes] Israel says a new flotilla that attempted to break the maritime blockade on Gaza has been prevented from realizing its goal, with its vessels and passengers intercepted and taken to an Israeli port.

“Another futile attempt to breach the legal naval blockade and enter a combat zone ended in nothing,” says the Foreign Ministry on X. “The vessels and the passengers are transferred to an Israeli port. All the passengers are safe and in good health. The passengers are expected to be deported promptly.”

The nine-boat flotilla organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, said to include about 100 activists on one of the boats named Conscience, set sail from Italy some two weeks ago.
No celebrities like Geta Thunberg, so no media attention. Sorry guys.
The organizers of the Conscience said earlier this morning that “Our vessel is currently being attacked by an Israeli military helicopter while the 8 sailboats are being illegally intercepted and hijacked.”

Footage published by the activists shows Israeli Navy forces boarding the vessels.

The development comes a week after the Navy intercepted 42 vessels that formed the Global Sumud Flotilla, the largest to challenge the Gaza blockade to date. Israel has deported most of the 479 activists who took part in that armada, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

The non-VIPs travel second class.
[IsraelTimes] One Jordanian and people from 22 other nations said to exit Israel via Allenby Bridge, day after 171 others were deported, including Greta Thunberg

Israel has deported 131 activists from the intercepted Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

-bound Global Sumud Flotilla to Jordan via the Allenby Bridge crossing between the kingdom and the West Bank, Jordanian state media reported Tuesday.

The deportation would bring the number of activists still detained in Israel to no more than seven, after at least 472 have been deported since Israel intercepted the flotilla last week.

The activists deported to Jordan included one Jordanian citizen and activists from Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Oman, Kuwait, Libya, Pakistain, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

, the Czech Republic, the UK and the US, said Jordanian foreign ministry front man Fuad al-Majali, according to the AlMamlaka news outlet.

Israel did not immediately comment on the statement, which came during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

Jordanian authorities organized the activists’ transportation to the kingdom in coordination with their home nations, al-Majali was cited as saying.

According to al-Majali, three Jordanians were among the 470 Sumud activists that Israel detained from the 42-vessel flotilla on Thursday and Friday. Two of the Jordanians were deported in an earlier flight to Turkey, he said, adding that Jordan’s ambassador to Israel had visited all three in detention.

The announcement came a day after Swedish climate campaigner Greta "Pippi" Thunberg

and 170 other members from the US and 18 European nations were deported from Israel to Greece and Slovakia. Thunberg and other activists have alleged abuse in Israeli prison, which Israel denies.

Asked about Thunberg’s deportation, US President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
said, "She’s just a troublemaker."

"You mean she’s no longer into the environment, now she’s into this?" said Trump.

"She has an anger management problem, I think she should see a doctor," he added. "She’s so angry, she’s so crazy."

Trump’s comments renewed his long-running feud with Thunberg, whom he sarcastically called a "very happy maiden of tender years looking forward to a bright and wonderful future," when she delivered a fiery

She later reversed the barb when Trump, saying he "seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future," when he left the White House on January 20, 2021.
Such a clever girl. But she wasn’t to know that he’d be reelected and wreak havoc on those few things she pretends to care about.
