As we reported in June, Greta Thunberg and the crew of her "selfie yacht" were "kidnapped" by Israelis and forced to watch the compilation video of the October 7 atrocities committed by Hamas against the Israelis. Israel released their hostage, though — as Guy Benson posted, "The worst part of this 'kidnapping' is that they put her in coach to fly her home." She was deported just a day after her vessel was intercepted, so she wasn't held captive for very long … it certainly beats 738 days.

Thunberg's Global Sumud Flotilla tried again to deliver what Zohran Mamdani has described as "life-saving aid" to the Gazans, even though video from onboard showed that there was no aid anywhere on the boats: "Not a grain, not a bandage." 

Thunberg released a video on October 2 saying that she'd been "abducted" by the Israelis. Again, she wasn't held captive for very long; she was among 170 activists expelled to Greece and Slovakia on October 6.

Now, we're getting disturbing reports that Israeli soldiers tortured her.

The post continues:

… 40 degrees but no water was given to Greta and her friends for days 

• People fell sick. Guards mocked them saying they would gas them, showing them cylinders 

• She was kept in solitary confinement for hours with bugs 

— Aftonbladet

What's Aftonbladet? It's a Swedish daily tabloid newspaper.

We don't know if it's less believable that they kicked her whenever a flag touched her or that they stripped her naked. No one needs that visual.

That's where the story really stretches credulity for us. No one wants to see that.
