At the beginning of June, the well-known activist sailed to the Gaza Strip with eleven other people to deliver aid supplies. Her high profile in the media was intended to raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis and mobilize support.
The photo she posted on Facebook is quickly manipulated.
Suddenly, a supposed fighter from the Islamist organization Hamas is standing next to Thunberg. The image contains a reference to the movie Titanic.
The sailing crew's demonstrative action receives widespread publicity, primarily due to its involuntary end:
The crew of the sailboat is arrested by the IDF (Israel Defense Forces).
The Israeli Foreign Ministry publishes several posts that go viral:
This photo of Thunberg is also quickly picked up and used in a propagandistic way as inspiration. Here, too, the pose in the upper picture alludes to the film Titanic.
The food served to Thunberg by the IDF is the central motif of another propagandistic post.
This other example does not focus on food, but rather on Thunberg's supposedly privileged and politically ignorant behavior.
A video purports to show the scenes after Thunberg escapes from IDF captivity:
Here is another video related to the conflict between Palestine and Israel. Its propaganda is rather implicit.
