... Greta Thunberg is facing a wave of violent threats by pro-genocide individuals after joining a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. Pro-Israel figures have called for her death or harm as she sails to challenge Israel’s siege on the devastated territory.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham posted on X: “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”...

Man, if the holocaust happened today, turns out most people would actually be on team holocaust. Wait, that's exactly whats happening...
- I don't think it's most people. Opinions outside of Israel have largely shifted against it even in the US. Politicians often misrepresent their constituents on this one. At least that's what it looks like in some polls I've seen.
  
  They're attempting to astroturf a Holocaust. People aren't on board but the rich goombas are.
  
  Opinions outside of Israel have largely shifted against it even in the US.
  Not in Congress. Not on Wall Street. No where the power congeals. We're hitting the end-stage of the War on Terror. Western states are not going to be happy until the entire Muslim world is cowed or exterminated.
  
  People who vote for nazis/murderers are complicit. Politicians are elected, so the “constituents” do not get to wash the blood from their hands. They are just as guilty.
  
  Yeah, the debates seems to be mostly people questioning if it is war crimes or genocide, different experts and different organizations have different conclusions, although it seems more conclusions are shifting towards genocide.
  
  "even the US" bro they have been feeding their people milk and cheese tobacco and lies for decades because it's how you get rich, it's literally a country where you can be a politician, decide to give you money, there's nothing over there that has ever represented what actual people want for 50 years, they're having a civil class war and the rich won long ago, megacorps decide what the people want
- The Israeli government doesn't represent everyone who follows the Jewish faith. Jewish practitioners (especially abroad) shouldn't be assumed to be complicit unless they claim or are shown to be.
  
  That may be; I know nothing. But somebody just posted something like “Jews of lemmy, how is your family on Israel / Gaza?” And most said their families were all very pro Israeli government / Zionist. It sounded a lot like most were complicit.
  Here it is, and it is a bit better than when I saw it first, but still…
  
  Who said that the government represent all jews? Governments set up country policies. When we say israel of course we mean israeli governments Israel since it's creation policies was to oppress, steal land kill and rape palestinians.
  The fact that you choose tocsay this bs comment instead of those activists risk to die from israel terrorism show how tou don't care about those people and the activists
  
  No one implied otherwise here, and speaking of here, you're rather preaching to the choir, don't you think?
  
  Indeed, while Israel is indeed a Jewish country, it does not represent all Jews, nor do all Jews agree with the way the Israeli behave. Condemning Israel is justified, hating all Jews because of Israel is not.
  
  That is completely true and also unlikely to matter.
  I was born 3 decades after the end of WWII. By that point Germany and Austria had gone through great lengths to repudiate the policies of the Nazis. They had paid massive reparations. They had issued numerous official and unofficial apologies. The monuments of the Nazis were torn down in favor of memorials for their victims. That didn't stop other kids from calling me a Nazi as soon as they found out I spoke German. To this day people are comfortable making Nazi jokes about random Germans (see Oliver Zeidler).
  Similarly, we have evidence that the vast majority of sexual assaults are committed by a small number of repeat offenders. That doesn't stop the repeated mantra of, "Not all men but always a man."
  Many people, particularly in Asia, are offended that the Nazis turned the Swastika into a symbol of hatred. Most people are aware that the Nazis stole the symbol but you really can't wear one without risking a fight, even if you have the little dots in it.
  It doesn't matter if they should or shouldn't be assumed to be complicit; they will. People around the world will see the Star of David as a symbol of death and destruction for generations.
  
  Yeah, no shit.
- It is a holocaust, essentially.
- Most people in the west you mean. Most people in the world are very much against Israel and it's genocide. I think we forget this.
  If you live in the west you can feel alone in caring about the suffering. You just feel alone in the west.
- Not most people, most bots
  
  Then why are all the governments collectively punishing people for speaking out? I'm sure there is some astroturfing, but I know a number of people who have some weird opinions on this bcz they get their news from conservative sources.
- I think the only bad thing about the Holocaust was that Germany did it. Germany threatened established colonial powers. They threatened international order. Therefore the Holocaust is a terrible thing and Germany had to be stopped.
  When the good guys do a Holocaust it's not bad anymore.
  Edit: I mean as far as most people use it.
  
  Yeah. People misunderstand your comment's viewpoint, but it's accurate.
  The allies have retconned their WWII history as brave defenders of modern society and freedom when in reality they did not intervene for anyone's sake but their own. Least of all the Jews'. Tons of advocates for eugenics and phrenology along vocal fascists like Henry Ford in the US, imperialist ambitions towards non-western countries, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact...
  
  You actually think that? Please tell me it's just poorly phrased.
  
  If you do a holocaust then you’re not one of the good guys. It’s pretty simple.
Ah, yes, threatening to murder teenage girls - Clearly, the moral high ground
- Small correction that does not take away from the point your making, but Greta is 22.
  
  The passage of time confuses and scares me
- Serves them right if they're... checks notes... feeding starving people. Yep.
- Pieces of shit
- however very on brand
- She hasn't been a teenager for a while. This idea has been perpetuated by Right Wingers since she came on the scene, and despite her turning 18 four years ago, people treat her as if she was an ignorant child. We need to all know this and stop propagating this.
- I mean they're well past threatening. They've been killing hundreds of actual children in Palestine for months.
  
  Yeah but those aren't worthy victims.
  A rich white girl on the other hand... that'll be newsworthy... for a couple of days.
The last boat was destroyed. Everyone on this boat could die, too. Those people are insanely brave doing this. hopefully they all come out of this alive and are able to help those in need.
- Bravest woman I every heard of in that generation. I hope she makes it safe. She would make excellent world leader someday. Fuck Lindsay Graham and rest of the ghouls.
  
  BuT sHe'S a WoMaN!
  
  What a silly thing to say.
  I'm certain that pretty much every person in ukrain or gaza or a bunch if other places has more demonstrated bravery than Greta.
- Those people are insanely brave
  Or insanely stupid, it's a thin line.
  
  Trying to save people from a holocaust is not stupidity.
Well, we all know who the actual terrorists are.
- Spectator: The sinister transformation of Greta Thunberg
  JNS Daily: Danish police arrest Greta Thunberg during pro-Hamas protest
  NYPost: Greta Thunberg goes full in on Jew-hate because left politics is all one big blob
  Conservatives have been gunning (quite literally) for Greta for nearly a decade. Israelis are going to 100% try and kill her. She's going to be martyred if she's not protected.
  
  She’s going to be martyred if she’s not protected.
  Yes, I'm afraid she probably will.
- Well, ~~we all know~~ some people claim, that they know who the actual terrorists are.
  /Ftfy.
  
  It's the people slaying the other people including civilians in their homes. In all cases.
  I really don't know how you find that difficult to grasp. Do you have a home? Would you like if they killed everyone you know and you? It's not the hardest empath challenge, you can do it if you try, I believe in you
- The Jews? America? All of them? I don't know what you're insinuating.
  
  'Pro-Israel figures' as the headline says are the terrorists they are probably referring to, the ones threatening to kill people on a humanitarian aid mission.
  
  He's refering to Taiwan obviously.
Death threats are not 1A-protected free speech. So terrorism charges against those making the threats, yes?
/we all know the answer to that question
- Terrorism charges don’t really mean much anymore. You can call anything terrorism at this point. They will need something less generic.
  
  You can call anything terrorism at this point.
  you know, except a white, right wing, man, who commits mass murder, for ideological reasons
  Those are lone wolves, and tragically mentally ill, of course
Wow, that's a pretty insane reaction, why would they say something like th- Oh, I see, they say shit like that all the time and almost no one calls them out on it? They'd kill her with impunity if she were even slightly darker-skinned, and will brook no interference with their ethnic cleansing? It's a good thing that the ICC is at least reining them in befo- oh, they've also been largely impotent to stop the bloodbath from flying off the rails?
Sen. Lindsay Graham among the threats
- Yeah I feel like years ago someone would have had to step down from their position and quit politics in shame for such a dishonorable statement.
  Hoping someone shoots missiles and sinks civilians trying to feed the poor. What a terrible soul.
Lindsey Graham is a pus riddled sore. Why does cancer harm the innocent when there is righteous work to be done?
- Maybe this is why Wayne Enterprises made the Cancer Ray
  
  My introductory scene with Harley Quinn was her shooting a guard with the cancer raygun. The other guard blurts out, "He has kids!" - I was hooked.
Honestly, my generation (80s) does not deserve Ms. Thunberg.
- having seen humanity, she's not the person we deserve, but the one we need
  
  Autists saving the world. But Neurotypicals know of our power so they created a society and social rules that work against us
Can we all agree. A certain percentage of Zionists people. Are blood thirsty monsters? And they should be taken out before they can harm other people. Preferably put in prison.
- That "certain percentage" is 100%.
  
  I would say the same thing about the J word. But you get banned if you say the J word. So Zionist it is.
- Is that percentage 100%? Because any desire to take land without any respect for the ones living there for thousands of years has a certain... Lebensraum ambience attached to it
- While I agree, why so much punctuation?
  
  I’m a terrible writer.
  
  It might be voice to text. It sometimes gets carried away.
- A certain percentage of all people are bloodthirsty monsters, especially when it comes to people unlike themselves.
  And anyone who thinks this problem is caused by no one trying to use a bomb, gun, or flamethrower to solve it is the biggest idiot in planet earth.
- Basically we need to stop being captain america and lean towards being the punisher.
- Same with other side right?
  A certain percentage of all humans with personal causes are blood thirsty monsters.
  
  Yes, but most bloodthirsty monsters don't get to use advanced military weapons and don't receive billions in aide to seek blood
At least they’re consistent in how they want to resolve conflict.
If only some.countries was brave enough to bring security to those type of ships
Way too many folks that enjoy genocide these days.
Just put little silver skulls on the front of your hats already.
- they probably really want to
Good. This means Greta is doing the right thing. Also, it's about time she's back in the spotlight, and not some minor footnote when talking about activism events.
- Um, do you really believe they aren't linked?
If Mossad had been given orders to kill her, she wouldn’t have made it to the boat. (It’d have been a “hit-and-run accident”, or a previously undiagnosed allergy or something. The people speculating that Mossad assassinated her would be dismissed as cranks, and would be right entirely by coincidence.)
- You're over-estimating the Mossad. ALL the previous assassinations were carried out in a primitive way and got linked back to them in a short time.
  
  That's availability bias. Do you know how many they carried out that weren't discovered as such?
- Lol, people should stop thinking that intelligence agencies are all powerful. They fumble and fuck up stuff all the time.
  That said, the current Israeli government under the current political situation might very well arrange this basically as a public execution, knowing that western media will present it in the right light for them.
May a million Greta's protect our. Greta on this mission for pace.
Time to get a flamethrower
Haha do it. Kill and stream it. Show everyone even clearer what is in your heart
- ....then what..... probably nothing
  
  I'm pretty sure that our government would issue a strongly worded statement.
to the mods that removed FreakinSteve@lemmy.world bs.
good job 👍
Bad headline. They are advocating for killing her. They are not threatening to kill her because most of the people mentioned do not have the power to do so. I could threaten to arrest Netenyahu but it would not be a credible threat because that's not within my power at all. But I can post online in favour of the idea.
Looks like the fatwa's on the other foot.
I'm gonna be so devastated if she dies...
- Removed for misinformation.
  https://web.archive.org/web/20220707221235/https://www.haaretz.com/2011-09-13/ty-article/un-independent-panel-rules-israel-blockade-of-gaza-illegal/0000017f-f617-ddde-abff-fe779a520000
  "An earlier fact-finding mission named by the same UN forum to investigate the flotilla incident also found in a report last September that the blockade violated international law. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says the blockade violates the Geneva Conventions.
  Israel says its Gaza blockade is a precaution against arms reaching Hamas and other Palestinian guerrillas by sea.
  The four-man panel headed by former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer found Israel had used unreasonable force in dealing with what it called "organized and violent resistance from a group of passengers.""
  
  I would argue that nothing I said is misinformation. My post said that the basis for much of the Freedom Flotilla Coalitions argument is based on the Freedom of Movement clause of the UN Law of the Sea Convention as they state in #1 on their own post. Their purpose for doing the blockade run is about the violation of international law for Collective Punishment, but the basis for which they believe they can challenge the the blockade is the UN Law of the Sea.
  As I stated in my original post, they are smuggling goods inside of the Economic Exclusion Zone of Israel. When told to stop and yield to inspection they are claiming they don't have to because of the UN Law of the Sea which is incorrect in this instance.
  Since you referenced the UN Forum to investigate the 2010 flotilla incident, the UN panel in their report noted that
  "It is clear to the Panel that preparations were made by some of the passengers on the Mavi Marmara well in advance to violently resist any boarding attempt. The description given in the Israeli report is consistent with passenger testimonies to the Turkish investigation that describe cutting iron bars from the guard rails of the ship, opening fire hoses, donning life or bullet proof vests and gas masks, and assuming pre-agreed positions in anticipation of an attack. Witness reports also describe doctors and medical personnel coordinating before the boarding in anticipation of casualties. Furthermore, video footage shows passengers wearing gas masks, life or bullet proof vests, and carrying metal bars, slingshots, chains and staves. That information supports the accounts of violence given by IDF personnel to the Israeli investigation"
  "The Panel accepts, therefore, that soldiers landing from the first helicopter faced significant, organized and violent resistance from a group of passengers when they descended onto the Mavi Marmara. Material before the Panel confirms that this group was armed with iron bars, staves, chains, and slingshots, and there is some indication that they also used knives. Firearms were taken from IDF personnel and passengers disabled at least one by removing the ammunition from it. Two soldiers received gunshot wounds. There is some reason to believe that they may have been shot by passengers, although the Panel is not able to conclusively establish how the gunshot wounds were caused. Nevertheless, seven other soldiers were wounded by passengers, some seriously."
  So, the Flotilla asserts that they have the right to freedom of movement by the Law of the Sea Convention, which they didn't, and when the IDF boarded the ship they were violently attacked by "non-violent" activists.
- The blockade is illegal. Stop justifying the terrorist state actions
  
  Can you provide anything to support that assertion?
Qudsnen.co: "Quds News Network (QNN) is the largest independent and comprehensive Palestinian youth electronic news network."
I wish people would provide at least this brief information on the "sources" they link to. This really helps to assess the alleged credibility and objectivity.
Oh please.
Can you update this with a different source rather than Quds News? It's banned on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok. Say what you will about those websites but it's rare to see such unanimity.
- How about posting yourself one?
- So far she's advocated for causes involving justice, what's wrong with that?
  
  Nothing wrong with it. Didn't mean to come across that way.
- That's what the conspiracy theory about her was when she was just Climate Greta.
  
  That's depressing.
- when she was younger she definitely was. not going to hold it against her as she was a literal child, however, it is obviously she learned she was being coerced into becoming a grifter and she broke off then.
  she could have very easily have become a lib grifter and make kunmbaya world tours.
  
  I didn't mean to come across as holding it against her. It's sad.
This is doing so much harm to the climate cause it’s crazy
- Fun fact
  Carbon footprint from Israel's war on Gaza exceeds 100 countries
  
  That's not fun at all.
- You know what would hurt the climate cause? Not caring about a genocide
- It's not like her international protesting license is limited to only climate change. You can dedicate 3 months out of a year to other forms without having to pay for the dual pretest license.
- nope, still A Bad Idea
- One of the dumbest things I read today
- don't let them coerce that term.
  because:
  racism isn't ok
  some of the loudest antizionist voices are Jewish
  they want idiots within antizionist movements to say something antisemitic, so they can point at it and say that antizionists hate jews (that already do, don't give them evidence)
  if you go ahead jews that have nothing to do with the genocide, just because they are jews you are an asshole and deserve to be treated like the nazi you're becoming.
- Anti-Zion brother. Not every Jew supports Israel.
- I'll stop you right there
- :/
- How about stfu. Palestine doesn't need antisemitic "friends" like this.
- Are we taking the classical definition of anti-Semite or the newer, politically-convienent definition?
