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.

Oh Greta Thurnberg. Don't you know you've committed the evil sin of bringing food to starving children? Woe unto you! This is aggravated by you daring to do so in opposition to our darling dream child: Isreal. For shame.

These aren't psychopaths. A psychopath would see how this was going, take the money, and disappear.

Psychopaths can be negotiated with.

Psychopaths would only take as much land as they could use.

Psychopaths wouldn't need to make an entire culture woven exclusively from fibers of genocidal hatred.

These are genocidal fanatical faschists.

They will not stop until they are physically incapable of continuing, and they do have nuclear weapons. The kids on the boat. I mean the kids on the boat, please dont ban me, i mean the kids on the boat.

I think you may be conflating psychopathy with sociopathy.
