GREEN TO GAZA: Greta Thunberg named 'Anti-Semite of the week'

Article content

A Jewish group has turned the tables on self-righteous climate crusader Greta Thunberg.

They are asking the diminutive demonstrator: How dare you?

Now, the high-flying Swede has been named “Anti-Semite of the Week” by watchdog StopAntisemitism. Over the past 11 months, Thunberg has shifted gears from green to Gaza.

She has been arrested at several anti-Israel rallies as she takes her scold show on the road.

“(Thunberg) has joined the ranks of keffiyeh-clad protesters, brazenly voicing her disdain for the Jewish state,” StopAntisemitism said on Friday.

Her win comes after Thunberg was arrested by Danish cops during yet another demonstration at Copenhagen University.

StopAntisemitism added: “She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred.”

Thunberg — whose wealthy parents pay for her jet-set activism — was arrested Sept. 4 while acting as a celebrity protester with Students Against the Occupation. The group has called on the university to end its connections with Israel.

Ironically, among the programs the Danish university and their Israeli counterparts are working on is revolutionary green technology. Whoops.

“Sadly, Greta’s hatred of the world’s only Jewish nation eclipses her love of the environment. Despite Israel being a global leader in tackling climate disasters and rushing to aid in crises worldwide, Greta sides with their homicidal terrorist enemies,” founder Liora Rez said in a statement.

“Her actions speak louder than her words. She claims to care about the future of humanity but Greta’s hypocrisy is on full display as she’s been active in championing Hamas leaders who openly call for genocide.”

Following Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack, Thunberg has tackled the issue with the same zeal she once devoted to scolding all and sundry over the environment.

The pint-sized preacher wrote after attending a demo in May: “We demand that the Stockholm University administration cut all ties, agreements and collaborations with the genocidal, apartheid state of Israel.”

Thunberg was later carried away by cops. She was among six people arrested in Copenhagen last week at yet another anti-Israel protest.

Days after the Oct. 7 massacre, Thunberg signed on with the pro-Palestinian protest. She posted a snapshot of herself holding a sign stating: “Stand with Gaza.”

She posed holding a toy octopus. Some interpreted the octopus as a reference to the Nazis’ anti-Semitic propaganda suggesting that Judaism controlled the world via a sinister network.

The autistic Thunberg removed the photo, claiming she was “completely unaware” the octopus was a sickening anti-Semitic trope. Instead, she offered that the toy was meant to represent her emotions.

“The toy in the picture is a tool often used by autistic people as a way to communicate feelings,” she offered.
