You're being intentionally obtuse and stacking edits onto your initial comment to belabor an awful, specious argument.

That you would continue to die on this hill, after conceding the point about dehydration, rashes, painful concrete surfaces, and degrading photography–

That you would call the activists liars, whilst Israel’s foreign ministry posts on X that all detained activists were "safe and in good health" and Israel's commitment to the "dignity" of prisoners afforded by international law—

That you would weasel out on the smallest of words—"harsh" treatment—while the Italian legal representation for the flotilla explicitly alleges multiple instances of both physical and verbal abuse against the activists in custody—

I think it speaks volumes to your (lack of) moral character. You know you are wrong. You're tripling down on being a cynical asshole.

Get your head on straight, "mate".

This is just bait for people to point out that it's illegal to commemorate a living president.

At which point they'll feign "oopsies" and—surprising absolutely nobody—proceed to roll out a Charlie Kirk coin.

You're being a cynical asshole. Even if you're right, the way you phrase it is so needlessly abrasive that you won't convince anyone of anything. You're just airing out your shitty personality for everyone else to deal with, and it's quite sad and concerning.

Get help.

Separate from that, the statements made in the email from the Swedish embassy that were sent to the Guardian don't contradict the other flotilla activist's claims. In fact, the embassy's email at least partially corroborates the claims—depending upon how you choose to interpret Greta's statement that she was being subjected to "harsh treatment". At no point did the representative refute the claims.

I think a modicum of critical thinking would easily lend credence to the claim that <country that's starving children and has sniped them in hospitals with quadcopters> might be abusive to an activist who's attempting to defy their mission.

It's equally reasonable to expect that an embassy would hesitate to repeat the claims/accusations without additional evidence so as not to cause any unnecessary diplomatic tensions, especially with Greta still being in custody.

But again, I wouldn't expect someone exhibiting such a shining personality such as yourself to stop to consider that perhaps the representative was being diplomatic about what claims they were willing to repeat. You know—because assholes generally know fuck-all about when/how someone is being diplomatic.

oh i bet you're fun at parties. 🙄
