"They dragged little Greta before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag,"
"They did everything imaginable to her."
"wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy...We were shocked by the level of humiliation and gratuitous cruelty that these people used on us."
"No immediate deportation,"
Israel's navy seized the Global Sumud Flotilla on Wednesday and Thursday, capturing vessels and detaining 479 activists from 70 different nationalities. Those detained included Greta Thunberg, former Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau, and European Parliament member Rima Hassan. Activists aboard reported that Thunberg was specifically targeted, beaten, forced to kiss the Israeli flag, and publicly humiliated. An Italian journalist described her being wrapped in an Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy. The Israeli Foreign Ministry labeled the humanitarian campaign "nothing but a provocation" and announced deportation plans, while detainees reported being told there would be no immediate deportation and described being bound with cable ties for hours.
