The doom goblin at it again and there is now evidence of the flotilla being funded by hamas 🤣🤣 they even own the boats

An irritating virtue signalling twit. To top it all off she ends up creating evil carbons flying back to where ever she comes from, you can't make this stuff up . Get a job and maybe another hobby Greta

From what little I know of Greta, I can’t say I’m a fan of hers,

But pretty horrifying to see people associating activism against genocide with evil. I think she cares more about indiscriminate bombing of civilians than carbon emissions of a plane that goes with or without her. Whatsboutism isn’t particularly applicable here

It’s either that or tall poppy syndrome and I’m not entirely sure which given Australians such as ourselves certainly have a problem with it

The current death toll figures in Gaza are understated. Israel is not allowing foreign journalists into the region independently. There’s no counting of bodies under the rubble going on. The numbers include only verified deaths (bodies, hospitals) and the only source at this point in time is Hamas (increasingly disorganised and motivated to underreport even those figures to avoid looking weak). Starvation also not factored in and is a real issue. Spread of disease is another; water has been cut off to many regions and when paired with open sewege and no functioning hospitals/health care then disease will find its way through the surviving communities

As seemingly pointless as Greta’s actions may be, it continues to bring attention to an issue that may end up defining our times. Israel is aware that global concern is mounting and they are under a time crunch to clear the land before they see the consequences of it

The only thing she cares about is herself.

The only thing she cares about is herself.

Sure, people can think whatever they want about her. While it is immaterial, I even said that for whatever reason I don’t really like her myself. It is interesting that without following what she does I still have come to that opinion, but like I indicated it probably has something to do with tall poppy syndrome: i.e. “who’s this brat always getting media attention, anyone could do ____”

And yet this really means squat when she’s bringing attention to something we are rarely actually confronted with. People see protests in the streets with flags, but of the hundreds of horrible videos out there in Gaza, you only get to see it if you go looking. If there is a hostage situation in Australia, we don’t and should not accept that the answer is to bomb every building in the general facility. The answer is tackling the root of the problem; occupation, brutalisation, murder, displacement, oppression and apartheid.

mrs thunderburger understands that any attention is good attention when it comes to a literal genocide, following 80 years of occupation and decades of delaying (and frequently dismantling) the possibility for peaceful resolution.

They have brutalised generation after generation, promoted division and “let the olive branch fall from the freedom fighters hand” (see Arafat’s increasingly relevant 1974 speech to the UN general assembly)

If modern society has come to the point where genocide and starvation is an issue for Gazan citizens to overcome alone, then I want no part in it. I know that empathy is not dead; but many online communities have begun to test those waters.
