Greta Thunberg speaks out after Israel deport herGreta Thunberg
Transcript
00:00The Global Summa Trotilla is about solidarity with Palestinians, international solidarity.
00:06And what Israel did was mainly not to illegally abduct us in international waters and abuse us
00:12in prison, but it was that it stopped a humanitarian mission and violating international law by
00:17preventing humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, a population that are being systematically
00:23starved by Israel. And this is a blatant violation of international humanitarian and maritime law.
00:30And I also want to make it very clear that our imprisonment by Israel is a direct result of
00:35our governments. They keep talking about the importance of upholding human rights and international
00:40law and to get aid into Gaza. And then when we do their job, trying to do just that while being
00:47completely peaceful and abiding by international law, they fail to ensure our safety. And this mission
00:54should not have to exist. It is a last resort when all means fall short and when those in power
01:00fail to step up and do with a bare minimum.
