Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Serious question: why would more visibility keep it safer? Israel continues to commit far worse crimes against humanity, very openly, on a daily basis. Why would this be any different?
Well tracker showing nothing, so what's the story.
Click link at the end of the page.
Because there is a point of no return in the worlds perception of you, the U.S. has been protecting Israel from that, but every time someone asks difficult questions of Israel and isn't silenced or hurt the powers of fascism lose respect from other evil people because they look weak.
More eyes on Greta means Israel has to make a choice it doesn't want to, de-escalate. The IDF is trained in committing genocide with military weapons, they are utterly untrained in fighting an actual war at this point, they really have very little leverage to continue the genocide of palestinians now, though of course "too little too late" is the necessary refrain.
The audience viewing Greta's ship getting bombed will be a subset of people who care about Palestine. Israel wouldn't give half a shit.
The only way for her to do this safely is if she became an official diplomat of Sweden.
Lol, ok.
That imagery will be remembered as a pivotal moment in world history and Greta would become (if not literally) basically a Saint.
I don't think Netanyahu wants that, which is why it is the perfect move.
They havent committed atrocities against anybody who isnt brown yet tho. The Ukraine Effect obviously cant kick in unless they kill a Norwegian

I suppose both a valid point, but also worth considering that 22 years ago was a hot minute ago, especially in a generational conflict
