🎵 ' The Gaza Flotilla Tour' 🎵 - Satire
(Sing it aloud with us to the tune of "Gilligan’s Island")
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a clueless trip,
That started from a Euro port,
On board a dinghy ship.
🎶
The mate was a Swedish climate star,
The rest, a clueless crew,
They set their course for virtue land,
With facts they barely knew.
(With facts they barely knew...)
🎶
The IDF, they spotted them,
And calmly came aboard,
They offered snacks and bottled drinks—
Not quite the Third World war!
(Not quite the Third World war...)
🎶
They looked around all dazed and blank,
Expecting some abuse—
Instead they got some dinner rolls
And thought, “Wait...is this a ruse?”
(They genuinely looked confused...)
🎶
So here’s the tale of the activists,
Who planned a grand parade,
Now munching buns with soldiers kind—
Revolution...delayed.
🎶
IDF Shayetet 13 (Israeli Naval SEALs) boarding officer:
We trained for raids and stealthy ops,
With gear and night-vision scope,
But handing snacks to Euro kids?
We hadn't dared to hope!
🎶
They stared like sheep in lifejackets,
All dazed and soaking wet—
One asked if this was “Zion hell,”
We said, “Not quite yet.”
🎶
With Greta in her frog-top hat,
And photo ops galore,
They’ll tweet “Apartheid horror show!”
From the Tel Aviv airport door!
(From the Tel Aviv airport door...)
🎶
Greta:
I scowled real hard for justice,
My frog hat on just right,
But when they gave me challah bread,
It kind of dimmed the fight.
🎶
I thought I’d shout “Apartheid now!”
And rage against the state,
But it’s hard to scream for Gaza,
With carbs upon your plate.
🎶

BBC:
🎶
This just in from the Middle East,
A harrowing, silent night—
Where peace was cruelly handed out
In plastic wrap so tight.
🎶
The soldiers came with bottled hope,
And buns of bland despair,
A microaggression wrapped in crust,
Colonial and bare.
🎶
Democracy Now Statement:
🎶 (Spoken solemnly)
And so we leave this tragic scene,
Of peace with veiled intent—
Where pastries mask apartheid's hand,
And gluten's violence went.
🎶
We’ll debrief live from Brussels next,
With seven angry teens,
And analyze this trauma served
With crackers and sardines.
🎶
Al Jazzera:
🎶
They came with bread, but not remorse—
This was no act of grace,
A wheat-based form of warfare
On each defiant face.
🎶
“Psychological assault!”
Their pundits cried on cue,
“Zionists armed with gluten bombs—
And bottled water too!”
🎶
Update: “*Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the IDF to show the flotilla passengers the video of the horrors of the October 7 massacre:*
“It is appropriate that the anti-Semitic Greta and her fellow Hamas supporters see exactly who the Hamas terrorist organization they came to support and for whom they are working is, what atrocities they committed against women, the elderly and children, and against whom Israel is fighting to defend itself."
"I congratulate the IDF for the quick and safe takeover of the "Madlan" flotilla to prevent them from breaking the blockade and reaching the shores of Gaza.
“*I instructed the IDF to show the flotilla passengers the video of the horrors of the October 7 massacre when they arrive at the port of Ashdod.*
“It is appropriate that the anti-Semitic Greta and her fellow Hamas supporters see exactly who the Hamas terrorist organization they came to support and for whom they work is, what atrocities they committed against women, the elderly, and children, and against whom Israel is fighting to defend itself.
“The IDF will continue its war against the Hamas murderers with all its moral righteousness until they are subdued, all the hostages are released, and the security of the State of Israel is ensured.”

This is great. I imagine there will be a number of satirical pieces published in response to this anticlimactic ending.
Sheer brilliance..
