Greta Thunberg along with other activists detained on her Gaza-bound “selfie yacht” declined to view a film detailing Hamas’ massacre of over 1,000 individuals in Israel, according to officials.

“Upon their arrival, Greta and her flotilla companions were brought into a room for a screening of the horror film documenting the October 7 massacre,” stated Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, regarding the group’s detention after being intercepted roughly 125 miles off the coast and arriving at the port of Ashdod on Monday.

But “when they saw what it was about, they refused to continue watching,” Katz said, according to The Times of Israel.

“The antisemitic flotilla members are turning a blind eye to the truth, demonstrating once more that they favor the murderers over the murdered and continue to disregard the atrocities committed by Hamas against Jewish and Israeli women, adults, and children,” Katz stated.

Thunberg agreed to be deported from Israel along with two other activists and a journalist, according to Adalah, a legal rights group representing the group. The 22-year-old was flown home to Sweden via France.

Other activists who refused deportation were being held in detention, with their cases set to be heard.

The activists said they were protesting a humanitarian crisis in Gaza since the conflict began with Hamas’ terror attack 20 months ago.

Israel has maintained that such ships violate its naval blockade of Gaza.

Israel, for its part, dismissed the saga as a stunt, noting how the celebs onboard, including Irish actor Liam Cunningham, had posed smiling pictures for social media.

“The ‘selfie yacht’ of the ‘celebrities’ is safely making its way to the shores of Israel. The passengers are safe and were provided with sandwiches and water,” the ministry posted on X.
