Climate activist Greta Thunberg and her Gaza flotilla are facing serious questions after their dramatic drone attack story fell apart. The group claimed they were targeted by a mysterious drone strike while docked in Tunisia. But Tunisian authorities quickly shot down their story as completely false.
The Global Sumud Flotilla rushed to social media with videos of a fire on their boat. They blamed Israel and claimed it was a coordinated attack on their humanitarian mission. The activist group tried to paint themselves as victims of international warfare.
But Tunisia’s interior ministry wasn’t buying it for a second. Officials said the fire was caused by something as simple as a cigarette butt or lighter. No drone was detected anywhere near the vessel that night.
This isn’t the first time left-wing activists have cried wolf about attacks that never happened. These groups love playing the victim card when things don’t go their way. They know the media will run with their story before checking the facts.
Greta Thunberg has built her entire career on dramatic stunts and fear mongering. Now she’s caught up in what looks like a staged incident designed to grab headlines. The timing is too convenient and the story too perfect.
Real humanitarian workers don’t need to fake attacks to get attention for their cause. They do the work quietly and let their actions speak for themselves. This flotilla seems more interested in Twitter drama than actually helping people.
The fact that Tunisian authorities immediately debunked their claims shows how weak their story really was. Local officials know what happened on their own soil better than foreign activists with an agenda.
This embarrassing incident should make Americans question everything these climate extremists tell us. If they’ll lie about a simple boat fire, what else are they lying about when it comes to climate change and politics.
