Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard has addressed the status of Swedish national Greta Thunberg and the 11 other activists illegally taken into Israeli custody.
In comments carried by Swedish media, Stenergard emphasised that Sweden’s government has long advised against travel to Gaza and the activists bear “clear personal responsibility”.
Meaning, it is not Sweden’s responsibility.
The government’s current assessment is that the activists are not in danger and there is no need for consular support, she added.
How they assessed this is not mentioned.
Activist Thunberg recorded a video before her capture.
“I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces … I ask all my friends, family, and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible,” she said.
Sweden’s government has long advised against travel to Gaza
they didn’t fucking GO to Gaza. They were the subject of piracy in international waters
does the swedish government recognize Gaza in any other scenario or is it just when it’s convenient to write someone off?Israel literally kidnapped these people, including a sitting deputy of the EU, in international waters and they still won’t do anything.
This entire continent should be fucking wiped of the earth. I am deeply ashamed by so many around me, it’s making me sick

Hey, at least let me and a few other comrades evacuate
I had a bad day, plenty of comrades around to get together and be human
Oh okay sure. They were kidnapped in international waters against international law but they also aren’t in any danger. That makes total sense
immediate victim blaming too. “they aren’t in danger. and if they are in danger, it’s their fault. and if it’s not their fault, it’s still not my problem”
Along with being able to genocide, pissrael is also allowed to do piracy.
They can do anything they want. They’re the spoiled child of the Empire.
They attacked a US military vessel like 50 years ago, actually killing around 30 personnel, and just got a little fine for it.
Sorry, but there’s no chance anyone’s government is gonna step in to do anything cool about this.
Once again we see that the working class has no country.
So now I guess the local activists in Sweden need to start
until enough pressure forces their government to do the bare minimum.yet another event that would’ve radicalised me if I wasn’t already
No great shock, Sweden is the only country other than the USA that has refused to resume aid through Unrwa. The excuse there is that Israel has banned them.
So instead of putting pressure on Israel they immediately folded and decided to start throwing money at other UN organs which will likely just end up in Israeli front groups like Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
This is effectively the Swedish government saying “lol fuck you you’re on your own” to Greta.
Then when people like her or Snowden flee the country to a different country because their government left them to rot, they all go
that traitor moved to ruzzia!
Once again we discover that there are those whom the law protects but does not bind and those whom the law binds but does not protect.
European dogs of US/israel downplaying their masters’ crime. Just classic stuff.
Fuck sake. Will someone somewhere have a backbone for once in our goddamned miserable existences?
