Permalinkconsciously in close proximity to antisemitism'
Greta Thunberg has sparked a wave of outrage after she brazenly shouted
f**k Israel and f**k Germany at a pro-Palestine protest.
The climate change activist, 21, made the exclamations during a talk on
solidarity with Palestine and the climate movement at a protest in
Mannheim, Germany on Friday.
Footage from the protest has since gone viral online, leading to Thunberg
facing fury.
A centre-right member at the local parliament Manuel Hagel claimed that
her words were moving very consciously in close proximity to
antisemitism".
Mannheim does not need a platform for such dehumanising positions and our
country does not need the presence of people like Greta Thunberg, he told
the Jerusalem Post.
American campaigners StopAntisemitism added: Climate activist turned
Hamas shill Greta Thunberg has made her stance crystal clear.
Someone should remind Greta that Israel is a global leader in solving the
climate challenge.
Since her outburst, Thunberg has been put into the running for the groups
antisemite of the year award - in which anyone can vote.
Over 700 participants attended the demonstration alongside Thunberg in the
German city last week.
Thunberg has shown consistent support for Palestine since the October 7
attacks, calling for a ceasefire now while donning a Palestinian black
and white scarf in Amsterdam last November.
In response, Luisa Neubauer - the head of the German branch of the Fridays
for Future climate movement - said: It is obvious that for many global
organisations, global realities diverge when it comes to Israel and
Palestine. But that does not justify disinformation.
The German branch of the organisation has now moved away from associating
itself with Thunberg altogether.
The Swedish activist was also arrested on September 4 while taking part in
a protest urging Copenhagen University to sever all ties with Israel.
In the aftermath after the horrific October 7 attacks in 2023, Thunberg
shared a photo of herself online, holding up a sign which read: Stand
with Gaza.
She had also posted a picture of herself holding a toy octopus - an image
which led to accusations of referring to Nazi propaganda.
In response to backlash, Thunberg - who is autistic - insisted that she
was completely unaware of this historical connection, saying: The toy
in the picture is a tool often used by autistic people as a way to
communicate feelings.
