Climate activist Greta Thunberg touched down in Athens Monday after Israeli authorities detained and deported her for joining a humanitarian flotilla aiming to deliver aid to Gaza. The 21-year-old called Israel’s blockade a "blatant violation of international law," while officials countered that 341 activists had been lawfully deported this month.
📢 Thunberg, known for her fiery climate strikes, took to social media to condemn what she called "collective punishment" of Palestinians. Israel maintains it allows sufficient aid through approved channels and claims the flotilla posed security risks.
🌐 The incident has reignited debates about activism’s role in conflict zones. While some applaud Thunberg’s solidarity, others question the effectiveness of high-profile protests. Meanwhile, TikTok clips of her arrival in Greece are going viral with #FlotillaFridays trends.
✈️ No word yet on whether Thunberg will attempt another aid mission. For now, she’s reportedly regrouping with local NGOs—proving once again that youth activism remains as unpredictable as a Marvel plot twist.
