“And f*** Israel,” she added to cheering from the delighted crowd.
The 21-year-old was a speaker at the protest, which included a discussion on “solidarity with Palestine and the climate movement.”
A city spokesperson told German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur that 700 demonstrators attended the rally, which was described as peaceful.
Thunberg, however, was blasted online after the clip was shared on social media.
The X account @StopAntisemitism shared the NSFW clip, noting that “someone should remind Greta that Israel is a global leader in solving climate challenges.”
The group, who also crowned Thunberg as “antisemite of the Week,” has since nominated the activist for “antisemite of the Year.”
Another X user commented: “Someone should actually remind her Palestine does nothing for the climate crisis.”
One person noted sarcastically, “She was a climate expert. Now she’s an expert in geopolitical politics.”
A fourth user added: “She’s lost the plot entirely.”

Thunberg was arrested in September while protesting with the group Students Against the Occupation, which called on Copenhagen University to cut all ties to Israel, which included shuttering several cross-university student programs.
In November 2023, Thunberg attempted to bring politics into a demonstration in Amsterdam, but one climate protester wasn’t keen on the two issues being connected.
“I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view,” the man said after Thunberg brought two women – one Palestinian, the other Afghan – on stage with her.
He was escorted from the stage as the three women continued their discussion in which the activist stated: “There can be no climate justice without international solidarity.”
