They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Here, everything goes \u201cfrom zero to a hundred,\u201d several witnesses describe \u2013 the violence escalates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Greta Thunberg describes how she is dragged to a paved area fenced in with iron fences. This is a protracted scene that lasts for over six hours, according to Greta, and is confirmed by several participants in the flotilla that Aftonbladet talks to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 It was kind of dystopian. I saw maybe 50 people sitting in a row on their knees with handcuffs and their foreheads against the ground.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Greta gets up from the sofa and lies down, showing the position on the striped living room rug.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2013 They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Greta laughs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2013 Then they ripped off my frog hat, threw it on the ground, stomped and kicked it, and kind of threw a tantrum.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. \u2018A special place for a special lady\u2019, they said. And then they had learned \u2018Lilla hora\u2019 (Little whore) and \u2018Hora Greta\u2019 (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Every time someone looked up from the ground, they were knocked back down to the ground, Greta and the other Swedes recount. In the corner where Greta was sitting, the police placed a flag.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2013 The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted \u2018Don\u2019t touch the flag\u2019 and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 They took my bag and threw away everything they interpreted as being related to Palestine. They took every item and stared into my eyes while slowly cutting them up with a knife, while ten people took selfies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Suddenly, the far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir entered the area and stood in front of everyone, Greta recounts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 He shouted, \u2019You are terrorists. You want to kill Jewish babies.\u2019 Those who shouted back were taken aside and beaten. They were thrown to the ground and beaten. But I could only see it out of the corner of my eye, because every time I lifted my head from the ground, I was kicked by the guard standing next to me.<\/p>\n<p>The Israelis proudly released some video of this:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cThese are the flotilla terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a video circulating online, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir can be seen repeatedly calling Global Sumud Flotilla activists \u201cterrorists\u201d as they were waiting for their transfer to an Israeli prison <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7OiSMNeIrI\">pic.twitter.com\/7OiSMNeIrI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Middle East Eye (@MiddleEastEye) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MiddleEastEye\/status\/1973946884126658827?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Aftonbladet continues:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">[&#8230;] Ben-Gvir himself later told the media about his visit to the prison \u2013 and boasted about how harshly they were treated. He described it as a policy that he himself had ordered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2013 I am proud that we treat flotilla activists as supporters of terrorism, he told the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. They should experience the conditions in Ketziot prison and think twice before returning to Israel. That\u2019s how it works.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">After the ministerial meeting in the scrub room, Greta describes endless meetings with officials who wanted her to sign papers stating, among other things, that she had entered Israel illegally, which she refused to do. <strong>Her hands were then tied together again with cable ties, she was blindfolded and placed in a small cell inside a car where she spent a cold night with other prisoners.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 It was freezing cold. We were wearing T-shirts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">She was driven on to the prison. <strong>Outside, she was forced to take off her clothes again, she says.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 It was mockery, rough handling, and everything was filmed. Everything they do is extremely violent. People&#8217;s medications were thrown into the trash can in front of their eyes. Heart medication, cancer medication, insulin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Inside the prison, there is a large picture covering one wall, showing a bombed-out Gaza and people fleeing, with text in Arabic: \u201cThe new Gaza\u201d next to a large Israeli flag, she says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">In prison, she is held in different cells. Sometimes a cell of around 15 square meters with 13 other prisoners. There are many days\u2014four? Time blurs together, there were no clocks. <strong>They receive hardly any food and no clean water during their entire captivity, but are forced to drink from the tap in the toilet sink, where something brown flows. Several became ill.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 You felt that you couldn\u2019t \u2018afford\u2019 to cry because you were so dehydrated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 It was so hot, like 40 degrees. <strong>We begged the whole time: Can we have water? Can we have water? In the end, we screamed. The guards walked in front of the bars the whole time, laughing and holding up their water bottles. They threw the bottles with water in them into the trash cans in front of us.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">At one point, <strong>around 60 people were put in a small cage outdoors, in the middle of the sun<\/strong>, according to several participants of the flotilla. Most of them did not have enough room to sit down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 <strong>When people fainted, we banged on the cages and asked for a doctor. Then the guards came and said, \u2018We\u2019re going to gas you.\u2019 It was standard for them to say that. They held up a gas cylinder and threatened to press it against us.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">During the nights, guards regularly came by and shook the bars, shining flashlights, and <strong>several times a night they came in and forced everyone to stand up.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Greta Thunberg recounts how she was placed in an isolation cell full of insects. Hour after hour, she does not know for how long.
