Israel's Backers Are Now Advocating The Assassination Of Greta Thunberg (www.caitlinjohnst.one)

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.

People were starting to see what he is and calling him out on it so he ramped up his discourse.
But yes exactly this gatekeeping POS.

Read the fucking transcript:

NO MENTION OF GENOCIDE

and OC at 7:44

"Clearly Israel as any other

country that was so attacked had the

right to defend itself against..." *

Thanks for proving me right.

Did you really just call Bernie a gatekeeping pos?

trouble with comprehensive reading?

And I can also mention he invariably talks about "the Netanyahu government".
He knows he will have to go eventually so his tactic is to put the blame solely on him.
Creating the ilusion that the apartheid state will be a beacon of democracy after him.
As if those monsters, whoever was in charge, haven't continually murdered the Palestinians and treated them brutally.
He sure is an underhanded SOB.
In true zionist fashion.

You are fucking unhinged

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -4 points 3 days ago

LOL these are facts.
How unhinged do you have to be to call that unhinged.
You are a typical zionist
