I just hope she will be ok, but I mean she's braver than I am but I've just heard they've been mistreating her, and she's autistic so like yeah can imagine how awful it is, but I don't like to. I just wish there was a way to like send her a message to let her know people still care and she is very brave for taking such a risk to try and help starving Palestinians. She probably knew the risks though, so its also important to recognize she is an activist and sometimes activists get arrested, mistreated and even killed...I am sure she knows, that doesn't make it any better, but just pointing out she certainly didn't naively go in there with no idea things could get bad.

But I just hope she comes out of it ok, I mean like idk when I was much, much younger I would have looked up to someone like her. Idk at a young age I cared a lot about the environment to, but I didn't have the support system to really advocate for it or do anything....so I guess in part I feel like Greta is doing what I wish I would have been doing as a young adult. I just wish there was a way to send her a message of encouragement or better yet if I could just hire the dragon from Neverending story and just go break her out. This just makes me sad, and I hope she'll be ok.

It is a dangerous game she is playing. These people (Israeli politicians) are fanatics and have come to expect impunity regardless what.

As a famous person, she has lots of folks advocating for her. She can afford to take risks that most ordinary people can't. And she can make Israel look very bad for mistreating her, again in a way that most ordinary people can't.

I wouldn't wish that situation on anybody.
