Israël : les militants du bateau pour Gaza transférés à l'aéroport pour être rapatriés

This video on French radio says, the "passengers" on board the Madleen (how about crew?), including six from France, and obviously one very famous* from Sweden, Greta Thunberg are on Tel Aviv airport and have the choice to sign expulsion papers or face Israeli justice.

They had refused to see the October 7 atrocities video, and the communiqué pretends they "prefer the murderers over their victims" when the revenge has by now taken many more victims and when none on board is known to have supported the atrocity of October 7, Rima Hassan is even known to have explicitly condemned it.

I'll be happy to see a video stating their safe return.

I could have imagined better ways for the Israelis to save face ... for themselves and even a Senator from South Carolina.

But Israel apparently isn't what I dreamed of back when I was a Zionist decades ago, and on the other had not quite as bad (to non-Gazawis) as I had some moments feared.

PS, I'm happy the supplies will at least get to Gazawis./HGL

PPS, as the communiqué about the release was made into a propaganda push for Israel, here is Katja, the sister of a Dutch crew member, Marco van Rennes:

Mark's Sister Appeals to the World to Share His Story and Demand His Release
Freedom Flotilla Coalition | 9 June 2025**

PPPS, as some have pretended the Freedom Flotilla is Hamas, Zaher Birawi has wrongly been accused of terrorism: Palestinian activist receives damages after being placed on World-Check blacklist ... some guys never got the memo he was removed./HGL

* Also one very famous one from Ireland.
** Negende Junius van Twee Tuizend Vijf en Twintig. The video has English subtitles, which I need, but she speaks in Dutch.
