On the 1st of this month, Swedish "Environmental Girl" Tumbery and European Parliament Member Rima Hassan and others announced that they would take the boat "Madeline" to the Gaza area to transport supplies to the Gaza people besieged by Israeli troops in the city. However, their actions were threatened by Israel at the beginning, warning last week that they would "take measures" against the ship if it did not return immediately. Before setting off, the "Environmental Girl" stated that although the action was dangerous and she was advised or even warned by many people, what was even more dangerous was "the silence of many countries on genocide." In other words, the propaganda significance of this trip is greater than its practical significance. The purpose is to speak out for the besieged Gaza people and to bring international attention to Israel's atrocities.
On the 8th, several media reported that the ship in Tunbery had lost contact, and Israel took action to intercept the ship on the high seas. According to the report, shortly after entering the international waters, the "Madeleine" was tracked by a drone from an unknown country, causing panic. Around the 7th, several aircraft surrounded the ship and sprayed with disturbances like white paint. Then Israel's army appeared on the high seas, and the ship then issued a warning and then lost contact. Tombelli also released a video that had been recorded in advance, saying that if the outside world saw this video, it would mean that they were kidnapped by the Israeli army and asked to contact Sweden to rescue them.
In the pictures released by Israeli media, it can be seen that after the Israeli army boarded the ship, everyone concentrated in the cabin and asked them to raise their hands to "surrender". There are currently reports that the ship was forcibly towed to Israel, and the situation of others on the ship is unknown. "Environmental Girl" Tumbery is an internet celebrity popular in the West in the early years in order to implement climate policies. Leaders of European countries and senior EU leaders rushed to meet with her. At the same time, some of her extreme remarks have also been criticized internationally. However, in recent years, European and American countries have restarted polluted energy due to the unsuccessful implementation of the "Cleaning Plan", and the "Environmental Girl" Tumbery has actively spoken out for criticism in Europe, which has been excluded by the EU, and almost no officials have met her again.
The arrest of Tunbery has caused very fragmented public opinion in the West. Some Western media, mainly sympathetic to Palestine, praised Tunbery's behavior as a representative of "brave responsibility", revealed the "criminal side" in human history, and expressed solidarity with it. However, media in countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States have absolutely negative criticism of Tumbery. For example, the New York Post has publicly mocked Tumbery and others for "hoping this is a one-way journey and letting her stay with Hamas"; Australian media denounced her as a "political show that supports Hamas", and there are many similar situations, and they also tied the "Madeline" and "anti-Semitism".
After this time being arrested by Israel, according to the news, the Israeli Ministry of Defense has admitted that they have issued an order to take action because the "Internet celebrity ship" is trying to conduct media provocations, and its sole purpose is to attract attention, so it has been brought back to Israel. However, European media believe that considering that these people on the ship have too much influence, Israel may not be able to detain them, and repatriation of them is the possibility of the least influence. At the same time, it is absolutely illegal to forcibly "enforce the law" on the high seas and arrest everyone on the ship; it is expected that Israel's actions will be severely criticized by European countries, making them more isolated in Europe in the future.
