June 1st, we’ll attempt to, again, sail towards Gaza and to try to break the siege and open up a humanitarian corridor by delivering aid like food and medical supplies,” says Thunberg. A similar mission to sail to occupied Gaza in May was aborted after a flotilla dubbed the “Conscience” suffered two drone attacks while in international waters.

“Keep your eyes on deck, continue flooding the streets, organize, boycott, and do everything in your power to stand for Palestine,” Thunberg ends her message, readying to set sail for Gaza from Catania, Sicily, on Sunday with aid supplies and several high-profile activists alongside her.

I would say that's unlikely. They can murder Palestinians all day, but a European aid ship filled with European activists, with one in particular being very famous? That's how you destroy any remaining support you had. It makes it very clear to everyone that you're evil, even to the people who've kept their heads in the sand. They'd probably keep US support for now, but lose a lot in Europe.
