"This is a war crime" commented Greta Thunberg,
one of the activists from 21 countries waiting to go on board the Freedom Flotilla at Malta where one of its ships, "The Conscience", instead was attacked 00:23.
Greta was going to board the Swedish "Ship to Gaza".
Greta told Aftonbladet, one of the two major evening papers in Sweden (translated):
─────
We have been here on Malta about a week to begin the journey to Gaza with humanitarian aid. We were going to try to fulfill our promise to the Palestinians to do all in our power to try to break the total blockade on aid to Gaza.
[...]
There is rather much chaos here right now. Ship to Gaza and Freedom Flotilla have been trying to send 35 boats to break Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza. Previously Israel stopped almost every boat, so we suspect either Israel or allies are behind this attack.
[...]
The boat cannot currently travel because then it will sink, due to the hole in the hull caused by the attacks.
[...]
All human rights activists here will continue to try to fulfill the promise we made to the Palestinians to do everything we can to hold war criminals accountable and end our governments' complicity in genocide.
