US Senator Lindsay Graham has just tweeted an article titled “Greta Thunberg sets sail with Gaza flotilla that aims to break Israeli naval blockade,” adding the comment, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”

Australian Zionist think tanker Arsen Ostrovsky somehow outdid Graham, tweeting “Oh look, the little jihadi Greta Thunberg is trying to get into Gaza, to show solidarity with Hamas. It would be so sad if something were to happen to her flotilla…”

There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.

Would it? idk if she publicly supported Palestine at that point, but supporting human rights is like a basic part of being a good person.

Israel starting a straight up genocide wouldn't be unbelievable. Its supporters rabidly hating and wishing death on supporters of Palestine is basically a given. And they never really needed to be covert about it, they have the backing of the US government.

Yeah Israel has been doing this sort of thing for decades so it's not surprising in the slightest

Not to sure myself, but considering how many zionists are calling her out for supposedly not caring about climate change anymore (because people can't support more than one causemaybe-later-honey ) I have a feeling she either wasn't as vocal about her support or it just wasn't amplified as much as it is now after Oct.7th.
