Greta Thunberg was Tortured (confirmed)

[angrychair]

Last edited Fri Oct 17, 2025, 01:50 AM - Edit history (1)

Greta Thunberg and her associates were taken from a boats carrying food aid to Gaza in international waters.
While held prisoner, she was beaten, sexually assaulted (forced to strip naked multiple times in a public area, beaten and had photos taken of her while naked) deprived of water and food, left in a cage exposed to direct sunlight for days.

Greta was then taken into a building to be searched and undressed.

– The guards have no empathy or humanity, and they keep taking selfies with me. There’s a lot I don’t remember. So much is happening at once. You’re in shock. You’re in pain, but you go into a state of trying to stay calm.

And

She was driven on to the prison. Outside, she was forced to take off her clothes again, she says.

And for anyone that says it didn't happen, here is Ben-Gvir, Israel's minister of internal security saying this:

Ben-Gvir himself later told the media about his visit to the prison – and boasted about how harshly they were treated. He described it as a policy that he himself had ordered.

– I am proud that we treat flotilla activists as supporters of terrorism, he told the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. They should experience the conditions in Ketziot prison and think twice before returning to Israel. That’s how it works.

The international community stood by and willingly let Israel torture and sexually assault their citizens and failed to condemn it or in the case of the Swedish government, to blame the victims.

1. When is it too much?

[yaesu]

5. It was almost too much when we still had a democracy, now it will never be too much. nt

[womanofthehills]

119. It's also too much when your gov doesn't have your back

Sweden let Greta down. Why are countries so afraid of Israel??


“Thunberg says the Swedish government greatly downplayed the abuse she and her fellow Sumud Flotilla activists suffered, and wouldn't even bring them water.”

Some excerpts from her interview with the Swedish paper Aftonblatet:

Israel tortured and sexually humiliated Greta Thunberg.

Note - (UK activist Sara Wilkerson said they stripped the women and very painfully conducted an inner body probe )



"They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me."

"They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me."

"They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. ‘A special place for a special lady’, they said. And then they had learned ‘Lilla hora’ (Little whore) and ‘Hora Greta’ (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time."

In the corner where Greta was sitting, the police placed a flag.
"The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that."

"They were thrown to the ground and beaten. But I could only see it out of the corner of my eye, because every time I lifted my head from the ground, I was kicked by the guard standing next to me."

Greta was then taken into a building to be searched and undressed. "The guards have no empathy or humanity, and they keep taking selfies with me. There’s a lot I don’t remember. So much is happening at once. You’re in shock. You’re in pain, but you go into a state of trying to stay calm."

Outside, she was forced to take off her clothes again, she says. "It was mockery, rough handling, and everything was filmed. Everything they do is extremely violent."

"It was so hot, like 40 degrees. We begged the whole time: Can we have water? Can we have water? In the end, we screamed. The guards walked in front of the bars the whole time, laughing and holding up their water bottles. They threw the bottles with water in them into the trash cans in front of us."

"When people fainted, we banged on the cages and asked for a doctor. Then the guards came and said, ‘We’re going to gas you.’ It was standard for them to say that."

"This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors."

Thunberg says the Swedish government greatly downplayed the abuse she and her fellow Sumud Flotilla activists suffered, and wouldn't even bring them water.

"We were together and told them about the treatment we received. About the lack of food, water, about the abuse. The torture. We showed them the physical injuries we had – bruises and scratches. We gave them all our contact details – I gave them my father's number and the number of our contact in the organization. We were clear: everything we say now must be released to the media."

"They didn’t do anything, they just said: ’Our job is to listen to you. We are here and you are entitled to consular support.’"

"We said over and over again: we need water. And they saw that the guards had water bottles. The embassy staff said: ’We’ll make a note of that.’ One of us, Vincent, said: ’Next time we meet you, you must bring water.’

Then it took two days before the embassy staff showed up again.

"They didn't bring any water, except for a small bottle of their own that was half empty. Vincent, who was in the worst shape, got to drink it. We kept asking the guards, 'Can we have some water?' but they just walked around with their water bottles and didn't answer."

"I said, 'Are you going to leave us like this? If you leave now, they will beat us up.' But they just kept walking."

When Aftonbladet compares emails sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to relatives, with what the captives describe telling embassy staff, it becomes clear that the seriousness of the situation has been downplayed.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the scene at the port, where Greta Thunberg was beaten for hours, as follows: “She told us about harsh treatment and that she had been sitting on a hard surface for a long time.”

On Saturday, several media outlets published testimonies that Greta had been subjected to torture.

Aftonbladet has spoken to three other members of the flotilla who largely confirm what Greta Thunberg says and who have all experienced various types of abuse and humiliation. We have also spoken to relatives. Everyone is highly critical of how the Swedish embassy staff acted. - C Johnstone

123. rt.com? Seriously?

I thought DU avoided Russian propaganda sites

[slightlv]

77. In any war, police action, or authoritarian state

if you're female, you're fair game. Spoils of war. It's been that way since time immemorial, I swear. Greta's not even 18 yet, is she? So every single damned one of them would have been a pedophile on top of being just sadistic in their cruelty. One could hope the same would be done to them someday.

109. She was born Jan 2003, so she is currently 22. nt

the oppressed become the oppressors.

[Jack Valentino]

87. and of all the people of the world, I would have expected the Israelis to have avoided this kind of behavior----

Perhaps the Holocaust was too long ago, since the younger people committing the atrocities
have no direct memory of it...

[womanofthehills]

120. Ben-Gvir torture warning

As news comes out about the IDF torturing and abusing Greta Thunberg it's worth recalling that Israel's national security minister pretty much explicitly said last month that they were going to do this in order to "create a clear deterrent" against future flotilla activism. “

40. She hasn't succumbed to Stockholm Syndrome,apparently.

[Irish_Dem]

42. She has a strong will and moral core.

It will be difficult to shake her resolve.

[RVN VET71]

24. Sage advice, not just for Greta

For anyone, including American citizens, who doesn't sympathize with fascism and jackbooted, truncheon wielding sons of the Gestapo.

Wish I had the option of leaving and staying away permanently. After a life of 80 years in America, I'd leave in a second if I had someplace to go and the gelt to support myself and my wife.

After 2 years in the Army (one in Vietnam) and 32 years serving the public as a Federal employee, I find I have a very uncertain financial future -- my Federal annuity is not as safe as it seemed when there were true anti-fascist Americans running things. And,, hell, my Social Security is going to fade away like yesterday's sunshine once the fascists install themselves permanently in power. (Not just my Social Security. Everybody's.)

[Lonestarblue]

8. Beaten and tortured simply for wanting to feed starving people whom Israel wants to kill.

The true terrorists are Israelis.

[walkingman]

9. Cruelty is used to dominate, manipulate, or intimidate others.

I think that is what we are seeing in Gaza. It seems to create an artificial feeling of strength. In the case of Thunberg, some people derive pleasure or gratification from inflicting humiliation on her. The message being....don't you dare question us "overlords". If there is a HELL, there will be a place reserved for these assholes.

[Irish_Dem]

34. yes it is used to control, intimidate, punish.

And many of these sick bastards get off on the cruelty.

[Botany]

10. Greta is like Jane Goodall in that her strength comes from within and in doing the right thing.

She is a very brave person and attacks on her by the American right are as shameful as the attacks
on MLK by Americans calling him a communist. The World is a better place because she is in it.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Evil has taken over the world. And the US is part of the evil.

The US supports Israel doing this.

This is the kind of thing ICE is no doubt doing in US secret torture camps.

[angrychair]

13. They are indeed

Look up ICE with the term "the burrito" it's incredibly unsettling form of torture.

[Shoeless Louis]

93. In the majority of the cases, the U.S. is directing and financing the evil.

Today’s U.S. is the 1% and the corporate oligarchs.

[yellow dahlia]

12. I hope the ICC can figure out who to charge

for these crimes against the flotilla activists.

More from an Israeli govt, that can't be trusted.

The hoopla this week is a shell game.

Netanyahu has no intention of peace. He is out for annihilation and genocide. The tenuousness of the current "plan" will give him an excuse to continue the attack on Gaza.

[Irish_Dem]

35. Yes these are crimes. And need to be punished.

[Ping Tung]

14. Greta and other humanitarians are dangerous terrorists armed with food and medicine.

They give aid and comfort to starving and sick people who won't accept being tortured and starved.

According to those in charge of war crimes.

There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.

[littlemissmartypants]

16. Who is surprised by this despicable behavior? Seems totally on brand to me.

[OMGWTF]

17. I'm having flashbacks to Abu Gareb in Iraq when the Americans tortured prisioners.

Recall that GeeDumbya and Cheney The Dick's lawyer, John Yoo said that the laws against torture were "quaint." JFC! Rethuglicans are evil motherfkers!

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. Are any US outlets reporting this?

So far I haven’t seen any.

[angrychair]

19. Not really

Even the Politico article I found was EU version.

[SCantiGOP]

49. There is no independent verification

The Israeli official merely said that prisoners in general were treated “harshly.”

[Passages]

60. The story is filled with her quotes and numerous publications around the globe

including Israel, are publishing it...the IDF is going to confirm the validity of her claims?

Haaretz, Ynet, Times of Israel etc.

https://www.ynetnews.com/article/s1yburtpxl

[Fiendish Thingy]

65. I just like to see a little corroboration in my news, that's all.

If the quotes are sourced from a press conference or interview, great, but that wasn’t clear.

[Passages]

72. I understand.

This story is far from over. I imagine we will be seeing extensive interviews with her and others.

[obamanut2012]

131. Other flotilla folks saw it happen to her

They have stated it.

[Eko]

61. No he didnt.

I “was proud that we treat flotilla activists as terror supporters,” he said in comments carried by the daily Yedioth Ahronoth.

“They should feel what the conditions in Ketziot Prison are like, and think twice before approaching Israel again. That’s how it works.”
He said they were treated as terror supporters.

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/far-right-minister-proud-of-mistreating-gaza-flotilla-activists-in-israeli-prison/3708363#
They weren't carrying guns or anything like that, just food and medical supplies. Do you think people carrying food and medical supplies are terror supporters?

[womanofthehills]

86. Other women prisoners have similar stories

A few reported that 57 Flotilla women were in an outdoor cage less than 12’ x 12’ in the sun for hours. When they called a guard because one was very sick - they were told if they called again they would be gassed.

Here is a Jewish woman who was treated very badly too. This woman was hung up by hooks & beaten.

“ Noa Avishag Schnall, a Jewish photojournalist of Yemeni origins who was aboard the Conscience ship of the Freedom Flotilla, recounts what the Israelis did to her:“I was hung from metal chains at my wrists and ankles and beaten with blows to the stomach, back, face, and ears.”

If ICE had captured her. She would be disappeared AND tortured, fully supported by Fossil Fuel CEO donors to Trump’s regime.

Then the GQP and Media would anoint them With a Chuckie Kirk style celebration

You are right in that I had no idea just HOW evil these Natty Thugs are until I read womanofthehills post. But do not think those young (and not so young) republicans along with Miller, Noem, Kegsbreath, and Mumbles the Czar are not cheering these images and drooling at what they can achieve.
Watch this weekend and see another step in that direction. I have concerns with Moses et al calling us terrorist, and this regimes new rules to go after what they deem domestic terrorist. Watch this space as Racheal says.

30. Is Israel ever going to have a "Are We The Baddies?" moment?

How about all the apologists? Probably not; they're already past the "luring innocent helpless people into the open with the promise of food and water and then mowing them down" stage.

[Irish_Dem]

31. Setting murder traps, using food to lure starving children, is unthinkable.

But we watched it happen.

[BattleRow]

39. Just as one would trap a starving animal,sadly.

Evidently,these people are considered subhuman by their inhumane oppressors.

Was Jesus Christ a Palestinian,btw?

[Irish_Dem]

41. Yes exactly the same as setting traps for starving animals.

Israel considers them subhuman.

Yes google says Jesus was a Palestinian.

[BattleRow]

48. Thank you for the info.

I wasn't sure because regions have changed names in 200O years.
And I can't ever recall this being mentioned in any discussions by either the Pope,the pulpits OR the cafeteria Christians

47. Aftonbladet (Swedish: [ˈftɔnˌblɑːdɛt], lit. "The evening paper") is a Swedish daily tabloid newspaper

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftonbladet#:~:text=Aftonbladet%20(Swedish:%20%5B%CB%88%C3%A2ft%C9%94n%CB%8Cbl%C9%91%CB%90d%C9%9Bt%5D,newspapers%20in%20the%20Nordic%20countries.

Here are some of the controversies from this paper:

2009 Israeli Organ Harvesting Allegations:

The paper published an unverified article claiming that Israeli soldiers were harvesting Palestinian organs, which caused a diplomatic rift between Sweden and Israel.
The Israeli government condemned the article as an anti-Semitic "blood libel".
The paper's editor admitted there was no evidence for the claims, and a rival Swedish paper sharply criticized it for publishing a "conspiracy theory

Cultural Section Bias:

The cultural section has been accused of a strident left-wing bias.
Former cultural editor Åsa Linderborg resigned in 2019 after the section was accused of spreading pro-Moscow narratives and was criticized for its anti-Israel stance. .

Credibility and journalistic practices

Sensationalism: Aftonbladet is a tabloid that often focuses on scandals and uses sensationalist headlines to drive readership, which has led to questions about its journalistic quality.
Criticism from insiders: In 2006, one of its own journalists criticized the paper for prioritizing celebrity news over serious issues like the war in Iraq.
Dependence on external sources: Some critics allege that the paper is poor at fact-checking and relies on other news agencies for its reports.

Israel's enemies will attack merely because Israel exists.

83. It is offensive, but not surprising. There are plenty of American Jews who were against how this war

was waged. On the other hand, immediately after October 7, I recall a good number of protesters trying to justify what hamas did as "understandable".

I remember the slurs of "I got jewed, christ killer, Jews are cheap, and being told by a baby sitter that because I was Jewish I would burn hell".

It is ironic that the slur "Jews are cheap", runs counter to reality, especially when compared to other groups on a per capita basis.

It has been going on for a long time.

And how do you know these "actual jews" support such behavior?

Your post seems to indicate Jews should be/will be punished for the actions of Israel? Isn't that collective punishment, something people have been against?

[BurnDoubt]

66. My post attempted to convey the fact that this a self-perpetuating Horror show.

Trump isn't a Jew, yet he's right there grifting off this abomination, (and secretly hopes it will enlarge his fortune).
And, right now that "collective punishment" is being visited upon a generation of babies who will live with the Hate they are being taught every minute of their lives. I suppose you don't think their dreams will be filled with the sights they have to bear for the rest of their lives. How will they EVER forget? If and when they grow to adulthood, what will be their attitude learned at such a cost? At this rate, this will continue on until the Sun eats the Earth.
My reference to "actual Jews" is to remind you that this isn't their first brush with hatred. My hope would be that some compassion for the passive victims of this shit-show would evince itself, on BOTH sides. And a time of Healing can be declared and adhered to.

[JI7]

95. Where are the Christians and Muslims ?

They are causing far worse problems around the world and have committed actual genocide.

I know they like to blame these things they do on Jews and how Jewish conspiracies are a huge part of their religions.

[BurnDoubt]

105. You are right. They have had a target on their backs for most of recorded history.

My comments were focused on them because they are directly involved with several religions and sects in this instance, and being the people with literal skin in the game. THEY are the ones trapped in this endless litany of abominations. Sooner than later I hope they can bury the past and make a Future they can all share. It's a Forlorn Hope, I know, but who can live like this, generation after generation?
I make no excuses for Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or really any religion so convinced of their Domination that they confer on themselves the right to impose their Faith on ANYBODY. And at the tip of a sword. Absolutely unacceptable in every way. Our entire history is of Religion managing, subjugating, deceiving and abusing people, really, since the day after Fire.
My earliest awareness of the Horror of War came at around age five, seeing a copy of a WWII pictorial volume lying open on the floor and a still shot, in black-and-white showing a little girl crying at the sight of her slain parents in the gutter. It's hard for a child's mind to comprehend the Evil that gives reality to a nightmare. Over the years, the continual grinding goes on, and on, and on..................

[MichMan]

68. If that is the case, I predict crickets

Yet it will be repeated ad nauseum regardless.

71. Not just one source for this.

And the original source quoted by all of them is Greta herself who is a credible witness to her own experiences.

[Kingofalldems]

79. Oops.

Good work.


I predict crickets from the gatekeepers now.

[red dog 1]

81. +1

Greta is a credible witness.

Netanyahu is a war criminal who allowed the torture of these non-violent flotilla activists.

[David__77]

122. Thank you. It is a shame.

[Bread and Circuses]

76. Why would we expect More? Netanyahu is wanted by the ICC as a war criminal

[Ollie Garkie]

85. I remember telling...

Dick and Dubya bootlickers back in the day that even lily white non terrorist people would eventually be tortured by the powers that be, they shrugged or laughed and here we are.

[AloeVera]

90. I was just thinking...

We didn't stand up for Palestinians, who endure orders of magnitude worse, so this shocks us now because we didn't pay attention. It shocks also because she's "one of us". But the safe divide between us and "them" is not as wide as we think. As long as we allow this to be done to others while closing our eyes, it will come for us too one day.

[Ollie Garkie]

92. Well said-nt

[Goddessartist]

116. Exactly

Boomerang effect.

I've been paying attention since about 1985 or so. The hatred towards the Palestinians, who took in the Jewish refugees, then had their homes stolen by some of them, has been manufactured by Israel.

[Orrex]

94. I won't link to it, but just days ago someone called her a piece of shit

And another called her pro-Hamas.

All because she doesn't support Netanyahu's years-long campaign of deliberate civilian murder.

[iemanja]

100. Deplorable.

130. Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg could be the Antichrist

https://au.news.yahoo.com/peter-thiel-thinks-greta-thunberg-013803028.html

In a series of four lectures, Silicon Valley tech billionaire Peter Thiel has been opining on the Antichrist.

Thiel’s amateur riffing identifies the Antichrist with anyone or any institution that he dislikes – from environmental activist Greta Thunberg to governmental attempts to regulate artificial intelligence.

I hate that fucker more each day and I love Greta more each day.

What a sick, perverted and terrifying world we live in.

[Crowman2009]

101. Eventually Israel is going to wind up like South Vietnam soon.

[Dave Bowman]

102. They really are terrified of her, I wonder why?

Something is certain, Israel keeps demonstrating how cowardly they are.

[fujiyamasan]

106. Competing narratives here

Ben-Gvir is an extremist, so I’m sure he’d approve of harshest conditions imaginable for those aboard the flotilla. And there is more than enough evidence that the Israeli state uses torture, and obviously extrajudicial killings as they want. They also are commitngethnic cleansing in Gaza. There’s no news there.

But I’d like to wait for additional corroboration. I’m still skeptical of some of the activist claims about what happened to Greta, since they of course have an agenda too. And she has in several cases, been prone to exaggerated claims.

[druidity33]

110. What...

"additional corroboration" would be acceptable to you?

[womanofthehills]

124. Greta said Ben--Gvir was in same room with her

And every time she looked at him- she would be kicked. I wonder if he was in the room while they were filming Greta naked?

Notice - American journalist on flotilla , Noa Avishag Schnall comes out of Israeli prison with a black eye obviously injured and NYT’s doesn’t cover it. She was even hung by her hands & feet and beaten. - no coverage!!!

“ Palestinians are emerging from Israel's torture dungeons with missing limbs, one blinded, and some with harrowing testimonies of rape at the hands of Israeli torturers

Greta Thunberg has detailed sexual humiliation and beatings she suffered after being kidnapped in international waters

A US journalist also kidnapped from the flotilla, Noa Avishag Schnall, emerged from an Israeli jail with bruises on her face, telling of how she was hung from the ceiling by metal shackles

Yet these accounts will not be featured on the front page of The NY Times as the comprehensively debunked, still un-retracted Oct 7 sexual abuse hoax article, "Screams Without Words" was, and everyone knows why”. M Blumenthal

[BlueTsunami2018]

118. I wanted to hear what she had to say and I was hoping the reports were wrong.

Because it makes no sense to me to torture a high profile person such as she but there it is. She said it and I believe her.

What a disgusting way to treat people merely trying to bring aid to the suffering people of Gaza. Israel no longer gets the benefit of the doubt from me on anything.

The whole world is led by demons.

[womanofthehills]

125. According to AI - Ben Givr visited the prison when flotilla people first arrived

He called them “terrorists “ and told them he was punishing them like terrorists. Greta said everytime she looked at him she was kicked.

[Goonch]

126. ;-{(

[sarisataka]

135. Gerta?

[angrychair]

136. I've looked at my OP

Over a dozen times and never noticed that . It's fixed
