Israel's Backers Are Now Advocating The Assassination Of Greta Thunberg (www.caitlinjohnst.one)

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.

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.

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.

The irony is, Zionists/Jews, Palestinians and Hamas: believe in the same God.

They have different interpretations though, which is where their problem is

Different sects of the same religion hate each other (catholics and protestants, shia and sunni muslims, hasidic jews and every other jew, etc). It's not that much of a stretch that different religions under the same umbrella also hate each other.
