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.

"Palestinians could just mind their business"

How so when they dont have rights, their land is being stolen, women raped and children killed?

You're either a sick person or severely misinformed.

"It has no interest in expelling population within it"

We literally just had a poll conducted by Penn state that showed that 82% of Israelis want to expel (aka ethnically cleanse) the Palestinians in Gaza.

Oh not to mention that 47% think we should enact the same actions that Joshua enacted upon the amalek which is complete eradication (aka genocide).

And let's not forget the countless statements by Israeli officials either saying we want the Palestinians in Gaza to leave or that we will eradicate them from Gaza.

Just wtf are you on about?
