Animosity Against Jews Demonstrates Leftist Icon Greta Thunberg’s Extremism
Greta Thunberg, once the darling of the climate change movement, has revealed herself as virulently anti-Israel, which should make her a pariah in any legitimate social or political cause. Since the October 2023 Hamas slaughter of Israeli civilians, including children and infants, Thunberg, now 21 years old, has called for “crushing Zionism” and repeatedly accused Israel of “genocide.”
Her latest episode of malevolence was on display earlier this month in Mannheim, Germany, when she publicly cursed out the nations of Israel and Germany. She targeted the German government with public profanityover its support for the Jewish state.
Thunberg’s anti-Israel expression was not a one-off for her. Immediately following the massacre of Israelis by Hamas last year, Greta stood against Israel, the victim. Last September, she was arrested during a protest at Copenhagen University organized by Students Against the Occupation that demanded the school cut off all ties with Israel.
In May at Stockholm University, she urged the same by writing, “We demand that the Stockholm University administration cut all ties, agreements and collaborations with the genocidal, apartheid state of Israel.” She also protested Eurovision for allowing an Israeli singer to participate in a singing contest.
Greta has not escaped blowback for this behavior. Last September, the group StopAntiSemitism named her the “Anti-Semite” of the week and stated, “she has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred.” After this month’s episode, the organization wrote that “someone should remind Greta that Israel is a global leader in solving climate challenges,” as though that would somehow get her to rethink her priorities.
Thunberg has stated she is against the “horrific attacks by hamas” (sic) and denied knowledge about an antisemitic symbol she included in a social media post.
