Unsure if it's the one you're referring to, but she did an interview in Swedish and the frustration you hear from her is just as gut wrenching.

I could speak of all of the children who are no longer able to go to school, of all the children who required amputation, of all the children now orphaned. Of all of the houses and quarters that have been obliterated by bombs. I could also speak of the extreme physical abuse and the torture we were subjected to in prison. I could speak of the many bombings that our boats were attacked with on the way to Gaza. But nothing sticks! I could list all the international laws and UN conventions that Israel is breaking every day, of which we have seen a tiny, tiny piece. But this has already been said thousands of times. And like I said, it doesn't stick.

She technically says "it doesn't bite" rather than stick, but I don't think that kind of phrasing works in English. In essence, it means to have an effect. She expresses that nothing she can say will have any sort of effect, so why bother talking about it? That it's not like we're unaware of what's going on, but that we're choosing to ignore it. How no matter what atrocities we're exposed to, nothing has the effect of making those in power do something about it.

We're pouring money to Ukraine in this proxy war against Russia, which obvs. isn't a bad thing, Ukraine deserves the support. Yet our politicians are expressing none of that staunch humanitarian fervour for the Palestinians.

She is as bad ass as these right wing grifters wished they were. But if your audience is brain dead, you don't actually have to do anything, you can just claim things.

Not only does she deserve it, but the tantrum Mango Mussolini would throw about it would be so fucking funny.

The Nobel peace prize is reserved for war criminals. It's a fucking joke.

How? She probably hasn't even raped a child.

Nothing short of killing her would work, and even then she would be a martyr

It really is a simple litmus test. Why would you hate the girl that's sometimes on the news, standing tall for what she believes in, if you aren't a complete piece of shit? What reasonable explanation could there be for hating her? None.

It always bothered me how back then people were all "well, I don't see her coming up with any solutions!"

She's a kid my friend, she's a kid using her free speech in a democratic manner to call for the powers that be to make change. She doesn't need to have the answers, that's not her job. Why are you expecting a child to do the work of adults? Fucking expect more from the adults that are doing fuck all to accomplish anything but fatten their pockets and hollow out our public properties.

Edit: I'm talking about then, not now. I know that she's not a kid anymore.

Will is a superpower. Drive and focus are superpowers. Hyperfixation are just happenstance. She has done this of her own making and design, not because of a quirk of her birth. Anyone is capable of it, given the right mindset.

She got arrested and beaten by Israelis when trying to deliver supplies to Gaza via boat .

The latest aid flotilla to Palestine that she was taking part in was abducted by Israeli forces in international waters. I've seen various comments on her treatment by those Israeli forces but none of them were humane, spanning from forcing her and other victims to sleep in pest-infested conditions to actual physical assault.
