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.

You are witnessing evil, and people around the globe cheering them on because they don't like a little girl and are sporting a fuck greta sticker on their shitty car.

The US admin. and Israel gov. looking more and more like 1930‘s Germany is insane actually

Edit: and seeing how many people in both countries support this fascism makes me want to puke.

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
