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.

But don't disagree with killing her, or you'll be accused of being anti-Semitic.

Dude if I were in her position, I'd be shitting bricks. Big ups to her.

“Look what you made us do.”

The excuse of narcissists and nationalists everywhere.

That’s how you now you’re on the right side of history, when you want to kill somebody trying to bring food to starving humans.

I don’t think they give a fuck about being on the right side of history. They just care about being on The Right.

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.

I'm getting real tired of mods defending Nazis and suppressing any comments about how to defend against them.

Americans are fucking pussies.

It is illegal to call for violence online.

Except if you call for for the full mass murder of two million brown people including 1 million children. That is totally normal and accepted in Western society. And the murder of Greta Thunberg of course.

[–] KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 4 days ago

The poors don't matter, their lives don't matter, the poor browns might as well be cockroaches.

But wouldn't you think of the humanity of the healthcare CEO, their friends, family and loved ones? All life is precious??

I gotta say I've gotten scared a few times these past couple of days with so many posts about Greta reaching the front page. Hearing about the boat that she decided to not be on getting attacked, her going there with another boat and them threatening her. And then opening Lemmy and seeing several different posts with her face as the thumbnail just thinking "please, no, don't be bad news" and then being relieved she's not dead, been taken hostage, or anything else bad. We need her.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

She was on a boat that got bombed, survived, and went back out. She has balls of steel, but I fear that she's setting herself up to be a martyr. There has to be some reasonable way for her to headline and lead resistance that doesn't end in her likely overlooked death. The people who her passing would activate are already mostly active.

[–] pixelkitty@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Pretty on-brand for a bunch of fucking fascists

I was asked why I got radicalised. This would've been another event to radicalise me if I wasn't already

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 65 points 4 days ago (10 children)

Whether you hate Greta or not, you should still agree that this is a call for murder

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 21 points 4 days ago (3 children)

The only people that hate her are misogynists and now Zionist.

Zionists are outright monsters. I genuinely worry for her safety. She’s got a target on her back.

Having an original thought that nobody has ever thought before, the top minds of the murder everyone who disagrees with us party have come up with a hot, new idea of murdering everyone who disagrees with them.

[–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 48 points 4 days ago (2 children)

All eyes on you, if you do, motherfuckers. We're watching. That's the whole point of her publicizing this. You zionist, baby killing pieces of shit

When I see this cunt, Lindsay Graham, my BP rises up to 1000!

Hopefully, he'll get a stroke or something similar soon!

The first time I heard of that rat bastard was in 2012 when he declared that people accused of terrorism have no right to a lawyer. Fuck him. Fuck him to hell.

She was already an accepted target of the right wing grifters.

The amount of people in conservative subs who wish sexual violence on her is astounding

Of course. You remember when God admonished us to attack the harmless?

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I mean, Canaanite babies, livestock, and children (except those sexy virgin girls). Also the Midianites. There’s plenty of precedent for God-commanded genocide in there. And even the most prominent apologists tend to respond with “yeah but it’s ok because God said.”

It's pretty funny that everyone's response to this is apathy and meming. We're so cooked

If I posted the same words about Lindsey Graham as he posted about Thuneberg, there would be an investigation, if not an outright arrest.

This should make it abundantly clear that Zionism is a pure moral evil, there is no "both sides" or any argument whatsoever that justifies the Zionist Occupation. The Zionist Occupation Zone (ZOZ) must end as must the genocide against the native peoples of Palestine.
