From CFACT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Peter Murphy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greta Thunberg, once the darling of the climate change movement, has revealed herself<\/a> as virulently anti-Israel, which should make her a pariah in any legitimate social or political cause. Since the October 2023 Hamas slaughter of Israeli civilians, including children and infants, Thunberg, now 21 years old, has called for<\/a> \u201ccrushing Zionism\u201d and repeatedly accused Israel of \u201cgenocide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her latest episode<\/a> of malevolence<\/a> was on display earlier this month in Mannheim, Germany, when she publicly cursed out the nations of Israel and Germany. She targeted the German government with public profanity<\/a> over its support<\/a> for the Jewish state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunberg\u2019s anti-Israel expression was not a one-off<\/a> for her. Immediately following the massacre of Israelis by Hamas last year, Greta stood against Israel, the victim. Last September, she was arrested during a protest at Copenhagen University organized by Students Against the Occupation that demanded the school cut off all ties with Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May at Stockholm University, she urged the same by writing<\/a>, \u201cWe demand that the Stockholm University administration cut all ties, agreements and collaborations with the genocidal, apartheid state of Israel.\u201d She also protested<\/a> Eurovision for allowing an Israeli singer to participate in a singing contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greta has not escaped blowback for this behavior. Last September, the group StopAntiSemitism named her the \u201cAnti-Semite\u201d of the week and stated<\/a>, \u201cshe has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred.\u201d After this month\u2019s episode, the organization wrote<\/a> that \u201csomeone should remind Greta that Israel is a global leader in solving climate challenges,\u201d as though that would somehow get her to rethink her priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunberg has stated<\/a> she is against the \u201chorrific attacks by hamas\u201d (sic) and denied<\/a> knowledge about an antisemitic symbol she included in a social media post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According<\/a> to the Anti-Defamation League, there are nuanced differences among being anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and antisemitic. At a minimum, Greta has been flirting with the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That comports with many others in the climate change movement, spearheaded by the United Nations \u2014 a bastion of animus against Israel and Jewish people. One of many examples was last year\u2019s COP28 climate summit in Dubai, where I listened to a group of panelists excoriate Israel<\/a> with zero mention of the Hamas massacre of Israelis just weeks prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunberg has been operating in an adult world starting as a young teenager. In 2018, she presented<\/a> at the UN climate summit in Poland. The following year, she famously sailed across the Atlantic Ocean without fossil fuels (except for the materials and construction<\/a> of the boat), to go before the UN General Assembly in New York, where she gave her petulant \u201cHow dare you<\/a>\u201d speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bratty, obnoxious behavior from teens is nothing unique to Thunberg, and all of us can look back at cringe-worthy moments of our youth. Greta was given a pass because she was a celebrity youngster whose climate change agenda is embraced by the UN, most of the global media, and governments the world over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her global climate fame earned her TIME magazine\u2019s \u201cPerson of the Year<\/a>\u201d in 2019, which placed her in the pantheon of numerous historic figures, for good or ill, including American presidents, other heads of state, heroes, and mass-murderers. The magazine just named President-elect Donald Trump its 2024 recipient<\/a>, a second time for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legacy media outlets such as TIME are no longer the standout, influential publications they were in the 20th century. Instead, TIME is a salient example of media that has jettisoned genuine journalism to become a just another organ<\/a> for left-of-center politics. Thunberg\u2019s Person-of-the-Year honor was more about the magazine promoting climate change policies than her as a newsmaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four years ago, I wrote an empathetic review<\/a> of the Hulu documentary \u201cI Am Greta,\u201d about her challenging life and rapid rise to international fame. I felt sorry for young Greta, who is on the autism spectrum and continually morose. I believe she was being exploited by the climate change industry to further its anti-freedom, anti-economic growth agenda that empowers politicians and bureaucrats, enriches corporate chieftains and NGO grifters, and manipulates and frightens credulous students of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that she\u2019s a grown-up, Thunberg has translated her climate stardom to highlight something she cares about more than the planet these days: attacking Israel for responding to the violent, unprovoked aggression by Hamas 14 months ago against unarmed Israeli civilians. At this point, Thunberg is a full hour past her proverbial 15 minutes of fame. I hope she gets genuine help and finds fulfillment. But she doesn\u2019t deserve worldwide attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
