Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg has told Swedish officials she is being subjected to harsh treatment in Israeli custody after her detention and removal from a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, according to correspondence seen by the Guardian.

According to the correspondence, Israeli forces are also reported by another detainee to have taken photographs where Thunberg was allegedly forced to hold flags. The identity of the flags are unknown.

In an email sent by the Swedish foreign ministry to people close to Thunberg, and seen by the Guardian, an official who has visited the activist in prison said she claimed she was detained in a cell infested with bedbugs, with too little food and water.

    There’s no “two state solution” to this shit. The entire country needs to be abolished and the land given back to Palestine.

      I’ve been saying this for years.

      The proper solution to Israel is to relocate the occupiers to the US, since both countries are pretty much the same, have the same interests, and even engage in the same acts of war.

      The problem with this is that Zionists, who are religious nationalists, feel that they are entitled to their “promised land.”

          Also, but the US are currently more usefull, in Germany it will affect too much nearby countries which have nothing to do with it, also the territory is too small.

      Unfortunately I think it will be the other way around. The “Riviera” thing is going to happen. Israel will be in charge, together with the US.

      There will never be peace though.

        Even more likely: they displace or kill the entire population and the land and city is left empty for the next century. My case point is northern Cyprus although the scale and brutality of what we are currently witnessing is not comparable.
