Holy shit! Ser Davos, the smuggler Onion Knight, from Game of Thrones (aka Liam Cunningham) is part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla! Now he’s “smuggling” food across Israel’s blockade to help starving children, just like he saved everyone during the Siege of Storm’s End. Greta Thunberg is also on board
