The IDF is going to murder her :(
she might be expecting this and have made peace with it for the sake of humanity
given the chance they murdered their own hostages
On one hand they probably don't want to anger Europe even further, but on the other hand Israel lost all its braincells in 2023 so we can't be sure they'll do the smart thing and not kill one of the world's most prominent activists.
No one will stop us, not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anyone else - Satanyaho
No reason to equate with satan... All of this is done in the name of god.
They don't care about europe and nobody else
They probably won’t because they know how much bad press they’d get. They’d rather murder non famous people or “unpeople” as they seem to see Palestinians.
I would say that's unlikely. They can murder Palestinians all day, but a European aid ship filled with European activists, with one in particular being very famous? That's how you destroy any remaining support you had. It makes it very clear to everyone that you're evil, even to the people who've kept their heads in the sand. They'd probably keep US support for now, but lose a lot in Europe.
Wish I was still this optimistic

If any die they will just say it was a mistake like usual and the complicit west will say i see you are excused
That would make sense normally but here's the thing: Fascists are fucking stupid. Remember the European commission they intimidated using "warning shots"? Israel has been managing its PR horribly since October 7th and especially since March this year. that's a good thing for Palestinians because the faster Israel alienates the West the faster they can get some kind of help, but it means Greta can't count on her fame to protect her because such protection requires Israel to have self-preservation instincts that they clearly lost sometime in 2024.
You're probably right, but it would make her a martyr really quickly, and it'd be very bad for Israel I hope. Ideally they aren't this stupid, but they've been proving that they are lately so who knows...
