Greta Thunberg Gaza Flotilla in Chaos After Queer Activist Comes Out, Prompting Organiser to Resign
Greta Thunberg’s Gaza flotilla has been thrown into chaos after one of its activists came out as queer, prompting the organiser to resign. Homosexuality, of course, is criminalised in Gaza. Sky News Australia has the story.
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), a high-profile convoy of boats heading to Gaza, has been thrown into turmoil after one of its activists publicly came out as queer.
The self-described “queer militant” Saif Ayadi accused opponents of exploiting his sexuality to undermine the flotilla in a social media post on Thursday (Australian time).
It comes after GSF co-ordinator Khaled Boujemaa announced his resignation on social media while protesting the presence of LGBTQ activists in the flotilla.
“We were lied to about the identity of some participants in the vanguard of the flotilla. I accuse the organisers of having hidden this aspect from us,” Mr Boujemaa said.
Mr Boujemaa claimed that Tunisians had been deceived after donating to the cause without being made aware that there was a queer activist involved.
Other figures also condemned Mr Ayadi’s presence as crossing a red line when he announced that he was queer in a public post.
The controversy spilled into the flotilla’s leadership, where climate activist Greta Thunberg announced she would step down from the executive committee in frustration.
According to Il Manifesto, she accused organisers of focusing too much on internal issues but confirmed she would remain “an organiser and participant volunteer” in the mission.
In response, Mr Ayadi said the “Zionist lobby” was trying to use his queer identity to attack the flotilla and break its unity.
Mr Ayadi said he was not rejected by other members of the flotilla but that there was a “internal discussion” about “policies and participant numbers”.
“We’re here, we’re queer, we support the cause – no matter who agrees or disagrees,” Mr Ayadi said.
In Gaza, same-sex sexual activity is criminalised and carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment.
Queers for Palestine!

It would take a heart of stone not to laugh.
Laugh? I almost herniated my white privilege.
Almost pissed myself laughing. I guess the starving Gaza Palestinian terrorist scum are not hungry enough to receive food from a gay.
Well they could but then they would have to throw him off a tall building.
There’s nowt s’queer as folk – as we say Oop-North.
I did chuckle. But the Islamic ban on gay sex is not the fault of the children caught up in this crime is it. And it is likely not the preference of many of the population either.
I suppose that’s what happens when you lose your place on the hierarchy of victimhood.
Perhaps Captain Corbyn can rescue the flotilla? Or maybe Admiral Sultana?
Maybe the king of Gaza, Antony Blair the 1st might put a good word in for them?
Kapitänleutnant Corbyn
They should introduce digital ID in Gaza, that would sort this mess out….
Occupation: Jew murdering terrorist
At least we now know that the drones playing Abba tunes were not an act of hostility, as the sainted Greta was claiming, but a demonstration of support for the queer members of the group, because let’s face it, they love a bit of Abba and other show tunes 🤣🤣🤣
Dancing Queens??
I once caused raised eyebrows from a (male) friend who mentioned he’d been to see the Mamma Mia stage show with his girlfriend. He really liked it and seemed puzzled when I said I was surprised as it seemed like a show mainly for gays and women. Full disclosure – I’ve seen it too, just to accompany wife & daughters (though it was very well done and I love the songs).
Gloria Gaynor next I reckon.
“I will survive” would at least be apt.
Why doesn’t the flotilla simply continue and show the peaceful Palestinians why they should decriminalise queerness? These are allies, for goodness’ sake.
Their contractions will be their downfall – brilliant!
So much for Intersectionality!
My victimhood beats your victimhood, this could get mildly interesting!
As Steve Sailer calls it, The Coalition of the Fringes (US Democrats). It cannot hold.
This is Colonel Grace of the British Army. Because women typically wear this attire when they want to be taken seriously as they make a speech on stage. 😨 The voice is totally at odds with the visual so it’s messing with my mind;

Makes me proud to be a veteran…
I say, safely escort them into Gaza !
They’ll make perfect high profile hostages
and Hamas will be very pleased with all the extra grub they’ll be bringing them.
Then after lunch they can enjoy a few games of ‘Guess who’s gay and make them fly’!
Wonder how long Greta will survive in captivity before she realises they are not the poor down trodden people she thought they were?
Hostages assumes we want them back!
😆😆
Would it surprise you to know that the starvation is so severe over there that they’ve now opened a Nutella restaurant? Yes, no generic supermarket’s own chocolate crud for these picky patrons. If you’re going to acquire a chocolate spread addiction, only the branded stuff will do;

Hahahahahah.
Who knew that an Islamic regime would be agaist homosexuality!
Moslems versus “queers” – pick a side, Lefties.
The Left will eat itself…
This particular drag queen has his head screwed on ( actually he appears to have something attached to his head ) and the bloke persistently asking the same stupid questions is a right pillock. And WTF kind of word is “unalive”?🙄

And he wishes to keep his head screwed on.
They will have to divert to the one Middle East country that is safe for homosexuals. Israel!
Expelling Israel from the Eurovision Song Contest means the organisers support the persecution of gays, then?
Boat-load of cause-junkies.
Here’s a flag that will show solidarity with Hamas while signifying the ultimate in inclusivity.
I can see a West End musical coming on, with some big dance numbers.
Greta’s flotilla of fuckwits is just another publicity stunt by the little c**t.
‘In Gaza, same-sex sexual activity is criminalised and carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment.’
Very pious lot aren’t they? I wonder if they take the same stance with CSE?
Strange how these idiots claim is a Zionist conspiracy, yet is the Muslim intolerance of homosexuality that is tearing their flotilla of futility to pieces.
Being gay is not a crime in Hamas controlled Gaza, it’s just having gay sex that is. I’m sure if Nobby keeps himself to himself he will be warmly welcomed.
