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.

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

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

given all the rapes in Israeli prisons, and how the rapists are touted as heroes, you don't need to repeat yourself by calling zionists misogynists

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago

Misogynists, Zionists, ageists, a bit of xenophobia...

She's hated for being correct, so they need small tribal culture war bullshit to try and shame her.

even if you hate the environment, they are literally delivering food. who could ever be against giving food to the hungry?

especially if they call themselves "Christian"

I know a good many Christians who find the teachings of Christ unrecognizable.

why would Jesus heal the poor without a profit incentive?

We all know that Jesus turned water to wine to get all the thirsty bitches in the crowd drunk.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

interesting how a religion, based on someone who miraculously gave wine to people,is a religious they in general hates alcohol, (except for communion).

is there was a Jesus religion it should ve filled with alcohol, prostitutes, and socialism.

Plenty zionist christians, they are the worst.
Like there were, and are, plenty of other fascist christians.
That touch of religious zeal gives them an extra genocidal motivation.

While that is true, people who hate her wont understand that sort of complex thinking and emotion.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

thinking? that's just woke things to make you feel something other than anger.

I don't think Israel cares about anyone except themselves.
