The "Global Sumud Flotilla" is approaching Israel and alongside Greta Thunberg, politicians, cultural figures, and opinion leaders. There are allegedly also individuals who maintained ties with the Hamas terror organization, Hezbollah, and Popular Front supporters, individuals with extreme religious views, chauvinists, antisemites, and a series of other questionable people, as exposed on the Svenska Dagbladet website by Israeli-Swedish reporter David Stavrou.
Stavrou carried out an investigation and discovered examples of "fanatics" aboard the vessels of the "Global Peace Flotilla" (GSF). For instance, under three months ago, a gathering took place at Hamas headquarters in Algeria. Among those present were GSF representatives and various Hamas officials, including Youssef Hamdan, Hamas representative in Algeria, and Nader al-Qaisi, representative of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
In a photograph posted by Nabil Chanouf, a spokesperson for the GSF organization, on social media following the gathering, two members of the flotilla steering committee are visible: Wael Nawar and Haifa Mansouri. They smile, displaying Hamas emblems on their Palestinian keffiyehs, beside the terror group's leaders in Algeria.
The text describes the gathering as addressing the flotilla's advancement, its beneficial impact, and its link to "Palestinian resistance." An additional photograph shows another steering committee member, Marwan Barghouti, with Hamas leader Osama Hamdan.
Per Stavrou, Greta Thunberg isn't an ordinary passenger aboard one of the flotilla's vessels. Until last Thursday, according to the GSF site, she also served on the identical steering committee. Another committee member is Thiago Avila, a Brazilian activist who publicly voiced his reverence for former Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and participated in his funeral ceremony.
Through social media, Avila recounted being inspired as a youth by an encounter with Nasrallah, lauding him as "a significant anti-colonial personality who overcame the Zionist and imperialist forces multiple times." This same Avila also took photos with Palestinian terrorist and aircraft hijacker Leila Khaled, stating that "I met today one of the women I admire most globally."
An additional GSF steering committee member is Mohamed Nadir Al-Nouri Kamaruzman, who founded the Malaysian group MyAqsa Defenders and serves as CEO of Cinta Gaza Malaysia. Both groups back Hamas and are connected to the financing infrastructure controlled by Hamas in Gaza.
Cinta Gaza additionally released a homage book for the engineer and mass killer Yahya Ayyash. MyAqsa Defenders also arranged a live broadcast with Muslim activist Imran, among six officials empowered by Hamas to represent them in English.
Per Stavrou, although this allegedly seems like a thoroughly coordinated international effort involving terror groups and collaboration with them, nobody in Sweden has been questioned yet regarding flotilla participation.
