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.

        Zionists =/= jewish people, conflating the two is actually antisemitic, not that you give a shit. There are tons of easily verifiable examples of jewish people around the world protesting against Zionism and of jewish people in Israel bravely refusing to participate in the IDF even when subjected to imprisonment and abuse. Try harder hasbara!

              He admits it! The antisemite admits he is literally mecha-hitler, doing the plot of wolfenstein for his secret palestinian masters who drink the blood of children and have a space laser! You all heard him admit it! With your ears! It is proof!

      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.”

    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.

      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.

        True Zionists legitimately believe they are fighting a righteous holy war with the lord on their side. They believe they will be vindicated by God. To them, people like Greta are agents of evil.

          They’re also brainwashed to believe that Palestinians are all subhuman terrorists who want all Israelis dead.

          Not that much different to post-9/11 anti-Muslim campaigns leading into Iraq and Afghanistan, Red Scare propaganda, Nazi antisemitic propaganda, etc.

          Israel’s government is basically being run by Dick Cheney’s clone. If Netanyahu actually cared about Israelis, then this genocide would have never happened.

            I mean you say that and then God had them murder the Canaanites

            That the Hebrews and Canaanites were actually the same people and none of it actually happened is an interesting wrinkle though

              But then there’s all the apocalypse bullshit and the modern interpretation that thermonuclear war in Jerusalem (or thereabouts) is going to get these fuckwads raptured.

              Meanwhile young men in the US are increasingly joining fundamentalist churches (like Catholics that wear veils), and claiming it’s because it gives them something “real and true” unlike social media I guess?

              I’ll probably be dead before it collapses and surely before it recovers. But it all feels so avoidably dumb.

            Different sects of the same religion hate each other (catholics and protestants, shia and sunni muslims, hasidic jews and every other jew, etc). It’s not that much of a stretch that different religions under the same umbrella also hate each other.

        Will it though? They’ve been killing civilians for decades and ramped up recently to include medics, journalists and even diplomats…
        Mango Mussolini’s in the White House so their asses are covered and supplied, as always, now more than ever.
        The media and many governments have been turning to the right.

        She’ll be news for a couple of days and then it’s business as usual. Some instances will issue even more stern “don’t be naughty” BS and… nothing will happen.

        I really hope i’m wrong though.
