LEFTY LOVE BOAT: Greta Thunberg’s freedom flotilla rocked by sexual misconduct allegations.

They’re going to need a bigger boat!

Greta Thunberg’s freedom flotilla, which set sail from Barcelona Sunday for another anti-Israel voyage to Gaza, has been rocked by scandal after one of its woke leaders was accused of “sexual misconduct” with at least three volunteers.

“A senior leader within the flotilla — a member of the steering committee, the highest governing body of the organization — engaged in sexual relations with multiple activists while on the boat heading to Gaza. Not one person. Not two. Three different individuals,” claimed Palestinian group Heart of Falastin in a social media post earlier this week.

“To do it on the boat, while heading to a nation undergoing genocide, with volunteers who are under your authority . . . is a clear violation of ethics and power.”

One Brazilian group named the alleged horndog as activist Thiago Avila.

“On a ship carrying humanitarian aid, a Brazilian shows up with his d–k swinging and the only thing he manages to do is f–k and get arrested,” Anti Esquerda Esquerda Club, a group that describes itself as criticizing the left from the left, wrote on X Tuesday, pointing the finger at Avila — and referring to the Israeli Navy intercepting the flotilla and taking activists into custody.

It’s a shame that Saturday Night Live is no longer a comedy/satire show — a parody of the Love Boat with Greta Thunberg as “your cruise director,” alongside extras shouting “death to America” would be loads of fun.

The world would be a much different — and much poorer — place today if it weren’t the the US Navy and, before it, the Royal Navy.

SO, WE SHOULD HAVE A FORMAL DEFENSE TREATY WITH ISRAEL AND STATION THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS THERE: The latest meme among Democrats (and some Republicans) is that we should treat Israel “like every other ally,” i.e., no military aid. I think US aid to Israel is a mixed blessing for both countries, but I want to focus here on the underlying dishonesty. Yes, Israel officially gets “foreign military aid” and the others don’t. But that’s an artifact of budget shenanigans, in particular Democrats historically insisting that our military relationship with Israel be put in the foreign aid budget to help get the rest of the (unpopular) foreign aid budget passed. But the US provides massive in-kind subsidies to our other allies in the form of US soldiers stationed there and mutual defense pacts, allowing countries like Canada to freeload off US defense. And then they won’t even let the US use their bases when needed.

PERSIAN GULF: Iran fires on tanker near Oman after re-closing Strait of Hormuz.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps fired on at least one ship in the waters near Oman after Tehran again closed the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization.

Two IRGC gunboats approached a tanker about 20 nautical miles northeast of the Gulf country around 1 p.m. local time — and opened fire unprovoked, the tanker’s master reported.

A second vessel was attacked by an “unknown projectile” some two hours later in the same area, the UKMTO said.

Looks like they don’t really want that ceasefire to hold.

Trump is probably OK with that.
