Global Sumud Flotilla Activists Land In Athens with Thunberg
October 6, 2025, Athens, Greece: Swedish climate campaigner GRETA THUNBERG, 22, arrived in Greece to a cheering pro-Palestinian crowd on Monday after she and hundreds of other activists captured by Israel on the high seas were deported following an attempt to bring aid to Gaza. Israel said it expelled 171 activists on Monday including Thunberg, bringing the total deported over so far to 341, out of 479 people it detained when it captured the flotilla attempting to break its naval blockade of Gaza. The Greek Foreign Ministry said 161 of the activists arrived on a flight to Athens on Monday, including Thunberg, 22. They included 27 Greeks, as well as citizens of nearly 20 other countries. ''Let me be very clear. There is a genocide going on,'' Thunberg told the crowd at the Athens airport referring to Israeli military action in Gaza. ''Our international systems are betraying Palestinians. They are not even able to prevent the worst war crimes from happening,'' she said. ''What we aimed to do with the Global Sumud Flotilla was to step up when our governments failed to do their legal obligation.'' The activists attempted to reach Gaza in scores of vessels to bring aid supplies and draw attention to the plight of Gaza, where most of the 2.2 million residents have been driven from their homes and the United Nations says hunger is rampant.
