The fauxtilla saga continues as the spoiled vacationers on the Fauxdacity of Hope have begun to realize what they have gotten themselves into.
The Fauxdacity is now impounded at a Greek military base, and the Fauxdacity captain has been arrested on charges of trying to leave port without permission and of feloniously endangering the lives of the Fauxdacity’s passengers.
Yesterday’s tweets and videos coming from the boat further underscore the delusional mindset of those onboard.
Tweet 1: “As [Greek] commandos point their weapons, passengers are singing ‘we shall overcome’ in the middle of the Athens Sea.” [I wonder if they were singing in Greek so the commandos could understand.]
Tweet 2: From the token ‘sort-of’ Israeli-American onboard (see below): “[The Greeks] arrived with machine guns. It was quite scary. They seemed ready for a fight. The commandos looked threatening, they wore helmets and their faces were covered.” [Who would have imagined that in response to the Fauxdacity’s attempt to break the law that commandos would appear– carrying machine guns, wearing helmets, and covering their faces?]
Tweet 3: “We were forced to go back to a Greek port surrounded with bars and barbwire.” [A Greek port? Bars and barbed wire sound a little more ominous.]
Tweet 4: “They are not letting us out. They took us back to a military dockyard and let the journalists disembark. I don’t know what they’ll be doing with us.” [Those journalists didn’t waste time jumping ship–but don’t worry, the American government will bail you out sooner or later.]
Recorded on video by the token ‘sort of’ Holocaust survivor onboard (see below): “I’m hurting, I’m sad, I want to go to Gaza.” [My feet hurt; I’m depressed; I want to go home!]
