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.

If you dont support this assassination then you are an anti-semite.

That’s how you now you’re on the right side of history, when you want to kill somebody trying to bring food to starving humans.

[–] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 112 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I don’t think they give a fuck about being on the right side of history. They just care about being on The Right.

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.

Zionists are outright monsters. I genuinely worry for her safety. She’s got a target on her back.

I'm getting real tired of mods defending Nazis and suppressing any comments about how to defend against them.

Americans are fucking pussies.

It is illegal to call for violence online.

Except if you call for for the full mass murder of two million brown people including 1 million children. That is totally normal and accepted in Western society. And the murder of Greta Thunberg of course.

It's traditional!

The poors don't matter, their lives don't matter, the poor browns might as well be cockroaches.

But wouldn't you think of the humanity of the healthcare CEO, their friends, family and loved ones? All life is precious??

If I posted the same words about Lindsey Graham as he posted about Thuneberg, there would be an investigation, if not an outright arrest.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Arrest, not autopsy? That's very optimistic of you.

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

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

This should make it abundantly clear that Zionism is a pure moral evil, there is no "both sides" or any argument whatsoever that justifies the Zionist Occupation. The Zionist Occupation Zone (ZOZ) must end as must the genocide against the native peoples of Palestine.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It is pure moral evil, because zionism is Nazism.

Am I so out of touch?

No, it's the children who are wrong

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 week ago

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

[–] don@lemm.ee 50 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (2 children)

All eyes on you, if you do, motherfuckers. We're watching. That's the whole point of her publicizing this. You zionist, baby killing pieces of shit

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

Our nation is run by monsters.

[–] NextBread125@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (4 children)

This is evil. We are witnessing evil.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago

FINALLY fucking someone who realizes what's going on and isn't just memeing.

The timetable with the current rising authoritarians in Israel and the U.S. are going to destabilize the world and every fucknugget in this thread is so self satisfied they left a mildly sarcastic reply as they doomscroll their lives away

Oh Greta Thurnberg. Don't you know you've committed the evil sin of bringing food to starving children? Woe unto you! This is aggravated by you daring to do so in opposition to our darling dream child: Isreal. For shame.

Having an original thought that nobody has ever thought before, the top minds of the murder everyone who disagrees with us party have come up with a hot, new idea of murdering everyone who disagrees with them.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 week ago

That's because they are all evil.

She was already an accepted target of the right wing grifters.

The amount of people in conservative subs who wish sexual violence on her is astounding

When I see this cunt, Lindsay Graham, my BP rises up to 1000!

Hopefully, he'll get a stroke or something similar soon!
