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.

Greta is 22, which makes her middle aged by Gazan standards

When can we say Israelapologists are Nazis?

I am seeing that you are not allowed to on this site, and the mods here are Nazi apologists.

Guys, we know what to do, we have a name and internet: Arsen Ostrovsky, Lindsay Graham... OSINT and speak out

It’d be damn shame if something horrible kept happening to the walking afterbirths that keep calling for Greta’s murder. A real crying fucking shame.

Centrists agree with Lindsay Graham.

About everything.

She represents everything they hate. Of course they want her dead.

Our nation is run by monsters.

Revolution is not an impossible pipe dream. There is still a spark of hope.
