Well, well, well, if it isn’t Greta Thunberg again. The same teenager who took the world by storm with her climate change activism is now trying her hand at global politics, and let’s just say, it’s not going well.
In a shocking display of ignorance, Thunberg was filmed chanting “crush Zionism” at a pro-Palestinian rally in Sweden. I mean, really Greta? “Crush Zionism”? That’s an explicit call to destroy Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. Not only is it profoundly anti-Semitic, but it also shows a complete lack of understanding of the complex political dynamics in the Middle East.

But hey, why stop at climate change when you can throw your hat into the ring of international relations, right? And boy, did she get some reactions.
Ben Shapiro, the Editor Emeritus of Daily Wire, didn’t mince words, calling her an “immoral garbage pseudo-child”. He pointed out that Thunberg is a product of “legacy media, social media, and wokeism”, which have collectively created a generation of misinformed activists.
Podcast host Dave Rubin also chimed in, sarcastically suggesting that someone should inform “this demented little witch” about Israel’s significant contributions to water conservation in the Middle East through drip irrigation and desalinization plants.
Perhaps the most potent comparison came from author David Steinberg who said, “Greta Thunberg is Hitler Youth.” Now that’s a statement!
It’s clear that Thunberg has stepped way out of her lane here. Instead of focusing on climate change, she’s decided to dive headfirst into a highly complex and volatile political issue, with no apparent understanding of the intricacies involved.
The sad part is, Thunberg could have made a real difference with her platform. She could have used her influence to promote understanding and dialogue. Instead, she’s chosen to spew hatred and ignorance.
Greta Thunberg has shown herself to be not just a misguided teenager, but a dangerous influencer who is using her platform to spread harmful propaganda. It’s high time we stopped treating her as a climate change messiah and started holding her accountable for her words.
