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.

I don't see the issue honestly. For collectivist ideology, it is fair to make death threats and death calls against basically anyone they deem to be working against their interests

It is fair then for the others to be able to do the same.

Point understood unless there is a law against making these threats. And if people are breaking that law, I'd rather it not be an elected representative making other laws that I have to follow.
