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.

They crushed Rachel Corrie with a bulldozer. They'll kill Greta.

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 57 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Rachel Corrie wasn't a famous EU liberal darling before they ran her over though. Even though I'm sure the entity is salivating over nuking pflp-octoplushie she may actually be too famous for it to be worth it

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 53 points 2 weeks ago

lol Greta lost her darling status the millisecond she said anything pro-Palestine. If they killed her now vampire Ursula would release a statement praising Pissrael

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago

They killed enough westerners to get Israel banished into the netherworld ages ago - if we follow western “logic”

But they will try and they will only make them be hated more. Killing the gambo star will make normies hate them even more.

the reactionary elite think she's going to be a future Lenin-like figure and I have no doubt she'll be dealt with (or at least they will try to).

i mean Thiel has been screaming about her being the anti-christ or some unhinged nonsense. the ruling class is not doing well

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 50 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They will speak it into being. As is so often the case. This reminds me of a lore backdrop from Legend of the Galactic Heroes, where old earth basically fell because their propaganda made sirus (an earth colony) look so powerful that all the other earth colonies rose up and joined it, believing they had a chance at winning.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

I love that show but it's so funny when you get dialogue along lines of like "a new ideology called liberal imperialism" when speaking about Reinhard von Lohengramm. lmao

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.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 41 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Actually Israelis are massively destroying the local ecosphere with their genocide. And its also not very good on the global climate as well.

So yes she actually does act in a very consistent with her OG climate activism. They will just say anything to distract.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (129 children)

Not really, she supported Ukraine who comitted at least 2 ecocides (3 if we believe offical versions) and attempted to do more in two different nuclear plants few times. Also she took part in the colour coup attemt in Georgia recently, which could potentially destabilise entire Caucasian region and plunge it into war yet again.

All due respect for actually placing herself at the target spot for Israel murderers, but she's at the "antiwar-ism" place of the known Chinese meme and it's evidently more important to her than the ecological consistency.

They will just say anything to distract.

I mean supporting Banderkraine is probably one thing they would like her for, but it's only mean they aren't consistent too, so sure. We shouldn't just give uncritical suport where it isn't due.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

Her politics is largely the same as some Western radlib, but I'll give her credit for her bravery. I don't think the Zionist entity will kill her if they're being rational, but then again, a substantial portion of the Zionist entity believe bioengineering a red heifer will bring about the Messiah, so who knows.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

When would that be? big-honk

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

Uhh yeah. She's been hated by both major political parties of the US for a long time. I'm sure most governments hate her because she is the antithesis of everything they work toward

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 50 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Greta has the ability to make all the right people go frothingfash

She must be holding the world record in most piss boiled.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

Hating Greta is one of the pillars of being a delusional right wing shithead. Along with loving Musk, crypto and AI.

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 36 points 2 weeks ago

greta's so based i love and admire her no notes that is all

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 32 points 2 weeks ago

Will no-one rid me of this turbulent Greta Thunberg?

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 29 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

i dont think pissrael has any qualms about killing her tbh, hopefully am wrong.

[–] CleverOleg@hexbear.net 30 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I don’t think they have any qualms, but just because the Israelis are racist Nazi genocidaires, don’t assume they are entirely irrational.

Killing Greta and everyone on that boat would be a PR disaster. Of course Israel will take a PR hit if they think it will bring them closer to their goals. But killing them doesn’t serve a purpose that simply boarding their boat and arresting them wouldn’t do (which is how I think this all ends IMO). If Greta and co. were armed I might feel differently, but stopping the boat in non-lethal ways serves the purpose and most people in the west will just shrug and say “eh, at least they didn’t kill them”.

That’s kinda the danger of all this discourse how obviously Israel will blow away that little boat. It’s setting that up as the expectation so anything less will feel like a relief.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, this is my take on it too. Killing Greta Thunberg doesn't really do anything to advance Israel's goals. She has no real power. She doesn't facilitate aid deliveries nor is she really "in the way" of Israel's ethnic cleansing campaign. I think they would certainly like to kill her out of petty spite, but I don't think they'll do it.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

that entirely doing a lot of heavy lifting.

but yeah, you're probably correct on how this'll go down, the fascist freaks probably arent going to do Mavi Marmara this time.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

She's simultaneously too famous and not harmful enough for them to directly kill her with the IOF. Most likely, they'll try to find more clandestine means, starting with siccing fascist goons on her and letting them do the dirty work. I put Hasan in the same category as well. He and she really need to think about security.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Israel still kind of cares about PR as a figleaf. They are currently using aid as a way to herd people while arming desperate Palestinians to attack other aid shipments so they have a reason to stop them.

If they acted with complete impunity they wouldn’t go through that much trouble.

This is a live GPS tracker of the ship carrying Greta Thunberg.

Please go ahead and shoot the widely known celebrities. This will end very badly for you.
