    “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.”

      And it should be remembered that Israel does this to foreigners out of fury that they dared try to feed the people Israel is systematically starving as a method of genocide, while it also tortures, beats, shoots and bombs them.

        That’s exactly the point: this is what they are willing to do to people who they know will live to tell the story, who are white westerners that the first world will care about. Many of the friends and family of those who went ask why they’re bothering to go when they know they will be taken, but the point was always to get taken. The point is to show this. But I can’t make them understand. Maybe now when they see Greta they will feel something. But I think probably she and all the others will probably just be victim blamed for antagonizing Israel.

        And this wasn’t even a member of an ethnicity they describe as “human animals” and “vermin”.

        If they do this to Europeans, imagine what they do to the Palestinians.

      Sometimes I feel the state of israel is a test on humanity. If we end it we survive, if we don’t we all die. Despicable.

        We dont know how to end it is the problem. But electing more zionists is just going to keep it going full speed.
