We recently checked in on 20-year-old climate cultist, “Dr.” Greta Thunberg, who had been arrested in London during an eco-activist protest of a oil industry conference.
“Big Sister” took a break from her climate antics to offer her thoughts on the situation in Israel, in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attacks and its horrifying atrocities.
Greta Thunberg was accused by Israeli officials of being a “terror supporter” Friday after posting pro-Palestinian messages — initially featuring a toy octopus, a known antisemitic trope.The 20-year-old eco-warrior posted a photo of her holding a “Stand with Gaza” sign alongside three friends — one holding a “Free Palestine” sign — while calling a strike “in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza.”With them was a toy octopus — a symbol often used in anti-Jewish propaganda since being used in a Nazi-era cartoon.
The Holocaust Encyclopedia contains one image of an octopus that clearly is smear of Israel and the Jewish people. If she did not know the reference, then it is likely someone in her posse did. I think that means, at a minimum, that she is “antisemitic adjacent.”
The social media heat was so intense, Thunberg used the “autism” defense.
“It has come to my knowledge that the stuffed animal shown in my earlier post can be interpreted as a symbol for antisemitism, which I was completely unaware of,” she wrote in an accompanying post.”The toy in the picture is a tool often used by autistic people as a way to communicate feelings.”
Her statements were also roundly criticized on social media for essentially ignoring the slaughter of the innocents glossing over terror attacks by Hamas which killed 1,400 people in Israel.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism said: ‘Greta Thunberg has a lot to say about a lot of things. But, judging by her social media output, expressing sympathy for the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust does not appear to be among them.’This post directs followers to a series of odious organisations, some fringe Jewish groups but all deeply hostile to the Jewish state. Ms Thunberg spends her life campaigning for greater awareness about the future of our planet.’Given the organisations that she is signposting here, she might want to take a moment to reflect on what kind of human society will live on it.’Investigative journalist David Collier tweeted: ‘Not a word about Israeli victims… not a word about the terrorist attack… not a word about the hostages….’John Aziz, who describes himself as a British-Palestinian musician, said: ‘Greta Thunberg called for a ceasefire, but did not call for the release of the innocent Israeli hostages.
So while the post is deleted…
. . . the internet is forever.
This provides another data point showing how closely extreme progressive activists are tied to antisemitism.
It might be worthwhile for some to reassess just how accurate her climate science assertions are.
