GRETA Thunberg claims she didn’t now her “Freedom Flotilla” crewmates had shown support for Hamas and Hezbollah.

The 22-year-old activist told Swedish media she hadn’t “heard about it or what this person has said”.

Upon being asked why she didn’t know about the views of the people she was on the boat with, she said: “Because I haven’t had a phone.”

Greta was also challenged in questions from reporters on why she hadn’t looked into the issue before setting off on the ship bound to Gaza.

She responded: “Should I ask exactly everyone what exactly they have said about everything?

“It would take some time.”

Thunberg, 22, was one of 12 passengers on board the British-flagged Madleen – a boat carrying aid destined for people in war-torn Gaza.

The vessel’s controversial crew includes figures who have openly supported terrorist organizations and have made inflammatory public statements.

Brazilian activist Thiago Avila attended the funeral of slain Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, praising him as a “beloved” and a “martyr”.

Avila said he was “very honoured” and “very happy” to attend, and described the funeral as something that “amazed him”.

He wrote that Nasrallah was an “important figure” who “inspired people all over the world”.

Among those present was Yasemin Acar from Berlin, who allegedly celebrated as Iranian rockets were fired towards Israel and once remarked to a white woman during a demonstration: “You’re a white person, you shouldn’t tell us what to do.”

French journalist Omar Faiad, of Al-Jazeera, sparked outrage for comparing the IDF to Nazis.

On X, he wrote: “The Israeli army resembles the Nazi army,” and claimed: “Israel is committing a new Holocaust in Gaza.”

Rima Hassan, on the other hand, previously tweeted: “Kfir, Ariel, and Shiri Bibas were killed by an Israeli attack,” despite the fact that Hamas was actually behind their kidnapping and deaths.

She was also seen at a protest where demonstrators chanted: “We die for jihad.”

Meanwhile, a man accused in parliament of being a Hamas operative based in London was one of the organisers of “Freedom Flotilla”, it has emerged.

Zaher Birawi, who has been photographed with slain Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, was present at the launch of the British-flagged yacht Madleen.

Greta was taken to dry land on Monday after Israeli authorities seized the yacht.

Adalah, a legal rights group in Israel representing those on board, said Thunberg and two other activists and a journalist had agreed to be deported and leave Israel.

Other activists refused deportation, were being held in detention, and their case was set to be heard by Israeli authorities.

Israel accused the group who were aboard the boat of supporting Hamas terrorists who detonated Middle East mayhem by massacring 1,200 and kidnapping 251 hostages.

The activists said they were protesting the ongoing war and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

But Israel says such ships violate its naval blockade of Gaza.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said that he had instructed the Israeli Defence Forces to screen footage of the 7 October attacks for the activists as soon as they arrive.

The disturbing footage – titled “Bearing Witness” – shows innocent people being massacred and mutilated.

And all the footage was taken from the Hamas terrorists’ body cams as they filmed their massacre.

But Greta and the other activists refused to watch the clips as soon as they were told about it, Katz told reporters.

The boat was carrying a “tiny amount of aid” on board – which will be sent to Gaza, officials said.

Hamas branded the interception of the yacht as a “crime of piracy”.

The group said in a statement that activists were on a “humanitarian mission aimed at breaking the siege on the Gaza Strip and exposing the crime of mass starvation.”

The flotilla’s latest voyage follows a failed attempt in May, when another of its vessels was struck by two drones in international waters off Malta.

The group accused Israel of being behind the attack.

Despite the risks, activists aboard the Madleen attempted to enter Gaza’s territorial waters on Sunday.
