this light.
>> There's a drone. There's a drone right
above us. The lighting.
>> This is how the last flatillaa of aid to
Gaza ended
>> right now. They're jamming our
>> Israeli special forces boarding the
Melene as it approached the coast.
>> Just to jam our communication.
>> Ditch the phone. Ditch the phone.
>> Greta Tunberg and fellow campaigners
detained and deported. But undeterred,
she's preparing to take part in a new
bigger aid flatillaa leaving on Sunday.
So the goal with this mission is both
the symbolic aid that we are bringing
that we are in contact with groups
inside of Gaza, how to deal with that.
Um but also to open up a humanitarian
corridor to as soon as that has been
open to deliver more aid. Um but most
importantly this is um a mission where
we are sending hope and solidarity to
the people of Gaza and showing a clear
signal that the world has not forgotten
about you and our governments that are
complicit in genocide. They do not
represent us. Israel denies genocide and
described the last boat as the selfie
yacht. A publicity stunt. The IDF has
said to us that it's demonstrated its
commitment to getting humanitarian aid
into the people of Gaza. Uh and it says
that in response to your flot tiller
that it will continue to enforce the
naval blockade. So I guess some people
would say what's the point? You're going
to get probably deported again. Is this
more about PR than actually progress?
Israel is violating international law
which is very important. And what we are
trying to do is to use our rights to
sail on international waters and to
deliver humanitarian aid which Israel
are not allowed to block from coming in.
I do not understand the argument that
this mission is pointless at all. As I
said, this is also a message of hope and
solidarity. If there's anything I can
do, if there's anything we can do here
as individuals to send a message to
Palestinians that people are watching
you, we are doing everything we can. We
are continuing to fulfill our promise to
do everything we can, continuously
trying to break the siege.
>> Can I just ask you your thoughts on
Hamas? They're still holding hostages.
What would your message to Hamas be?
>> I do not stand behind killing civilians.
But if we translate that into the
reality in which we are seeing how many
hundreds of thousands of people who are
dying in Gaza, how many hundreds of
thousands of people who have been
deprived their complete uh dignity and
sense of justice and freedom uh by
Israel.
Famine has been declared in Gaza. But in
a statement, the IDF denied blocking
aid, saying since the beginning of the
war, over 2 million tons have been
delivered with 9,000 aid trucks going in
the last few months. Israel's also
previously been deeply critical of the
activists.
>> Israel, when they deported your group
last time, they accused you of being
anti-semitic. Do you have a response to
those claims? It is not anti-semitic to
say that we should not be bombing
people, that people should not be living
in occupation, that everyone should have
the right to live in freedom and
dignity.
>> Dozens of boats carrying hundreds of
people from around the world will join
Greta on this new mission. The chance of
getting to Gaza is slim, and the
criticism can be fierce, but they're
determined to try. Siobhan Robbins, Sky
