Greta Thunberg, the 22-year-old who gained fame as the world’s favorite mentally unstable climate advocate, has joined 11 activists in a mission to break “Israel’s siege” of Gaza. On Sunday afternoon in Sicily, Thunberg, adorned in a keffiyeh, boarded Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s sailing boat Madleen and departed for Gaza in a bid to raise “international awareness” of the humanitarian crisis, for which Israel is apparently solely to blame.

“We are doing this because, no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying,” Thunberg said as she burst into tears. (At this point, Thunberg really should be sponsored by Kleenex.) “Because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity. And no matter how dangerous this mission is, it’s not even near as dangerous as the silence of the entire world in the face of the live-streamed genocide.”
