Cont: Greta Thunberg - brave campaigner or deeply disturbed - part 3

[arthwollipot]

Yeah, you know what FFF Sweden really said?

We stand in solidarity with Palestine and all civilians affected on all sides. We distance ourselves from all forms of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia regardless of where and by whom it is expressed.

It's always better to go to the actual source.

It's funny that @BrennpunktUA from carlosy's link makes this claim about Fridays for Future:

And here we go. #FridaysForFuture #FFF Sweden with more or less political suicide in their first sentence what is pure Hamas wording & Hamas Propaganda: „ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Israel “ (…) „Apartheid“ This problem seems far bigger than just 1 group

And quotes this as evidence:

As a climate justice movement, Fridays for Future condemns the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Israel, which is defined as an apartheid state by Amnesty International and ...

It is actually 'pure Amnesty wording & Amnesty propaganda':
Israel's apartheid against Palestinians: a cruel system of domination and a crime against humanity (Amnesty.org, Feb 1, 2023).

SVT.se quotes the Swedish branch of Friday for Future:

”Vi står i solidaritet med Palestina och alla civila påverkade på alla sidor. Vi tar avstånd från alla former av antisemitism och islamofobi oavsett var och av vem den uttrycks”.
Spricka i klimatrörelsen efter anklagelser om folkmord och hjärntvätt (SVT.se, Oct 27-28, 2023)

"We side with Palestine and all affected civilians on all sides. We distance ourselves from all forms of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia no matter where and by whom it is exhibited.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse than twitter X, nitter.net!

Yeah, what the **** is nitter.net anyway?

It's a twitter viewer that'll allow you to follow Thunberg's account without logging into or creating a Twitter account.

Doesn't seem to to be working...

Oh wow. This is not a #GretaThunberg post — this is...

 

[Stout]

Here, allow me. I'll even post the URL naked because, in honor of Greta Thunberg, I was thinking about rickrolling you.

https://nitter.net/GretaThunberg

Now if you click on that link there it'll use nitter to bring up Greta Thunberg's Twitter and you'll be able to view her Tweets and replies like you used to be able to do without logging in. In fact, if you save that link you can follow Thunberg (or anyone) while avoiding the fascist Musk.

Whatever happened to that mass migration over to Mastadon?

Strange article (it is Faux News):
Greta Thunberg interrupted at climate protest after changing the topic to the Israel-Hamas war

An article about nothing important, but it ends with this bit of useless information:

Last month, Thunberg was criticized by the State of Israel after she posted support for the Palestinians.

"The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected," the 20-year-old posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.

In response to the post, Israel said, "@GretaThunberg, Hamas doesn’t use sustainable materials for their rockets which have BUTCHERED innocent Israelis. The victims of the Hamas massacre could have been your friends. Speak up."

I don't see a twitter account for "the state of Israel". Their foreign ministry has an account, but not the state itself.
But this raises the following question:

Does the state of Israel use "sustainable materials" for their bombs, warplanes, tanks, and other munitions? Clearly they think this is some sort of clever dunk, so, do they?

No.

I've seen the video clip. It's pretty funny.

Activists say ship aiming to sail to Gaza was attacked by drones (BBC, May 2, 2025)
Climate activist Greta Thunberg was among those who had planned to board the ship once it departed for Gaza on Friday.
Speaking to journalists in Valetta, she said: "I was part of the group who was supposed to board that boat today to continue the voyage towards Gaza, which is one of many attempts to open up a humanitarian corridor and to do our part to keep trying to break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza."
Thunberg added that as far as she's aware, the ship is still at the location of the attack because moving it would let too much water in.
"What is certain is that we human rights activists will continue to do everything in our power to do our part, to demand a free Palestine and demand the opening of a humanitarian corridor," she said.

Did Israel Target Greta Thunberg In Drone Attack On Gaza Aid Ship? (The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder on YouTube, May 6, 2025 - 9:25 min.)
4:14--> When she connected the struggle for climate justice with imperialism the positive coverage of her disappeared. (...) When she came to the US, there was even uncomfortability with the way she was talking about climate justice, not in, like, a corporate PR sense, like this, like very anti-capitalist uh tilt. And I think her activism has been, uh, she's doing her best with her platform, but mainstream outlets basically find her too threatening now.

I think she's got a point. However, the staunch defenders of CO₂ emissions and the interests of Big Oil always found Greta Thunberg threatening. See the title of this thread, for instance.

Greta Thunberg on why she's sailing to stop starvation in Gaza

Is this like the time she sailed to stop global warming?

And she kinda does have a corner on the "doom-goblin" look.

Possible drone target for terrorists?

Possible drone target for terrorists?

I think when it attracts attention but doesn't have any other effect it's called a decoy, not a target.

I was thinking Book Goblin, but with less book and more goblin.

I like your idea better, though.
