Is Greta Thunberg different now? Ever since taking action for the people of Palestine she has been called a terrorist, an anti-semite, and someone who left climate justice behind.

As world leaders meet for the 30th time for the UN Climate Summit, this year in Brazil, Francesca looks at how the young Thunberg changed the world six years ago at COP24. Yet now that she’s turned her attention to the global wound that is the genocide in Gaza, she is being told she has become “political.” Sure, Jan.

What’s political is that countries DO NOT HAVE TO REPORT the emissions that stem from their military activity. That’s right. All the wars, conflicts, military exercises with heavy aircraft and artillery are not factored in when it comes time to calculate whether countries are in fact reducing greenhouse gas emissions. And military spending is increasing worldwide. Will leaders actually take responsibility for the climate chaos their aggression creates?

Not only are countries like Israel and the United States murdering Palestinians, but they are making Palestinian land unlivable, destroying the soil and water with chemical weapons. Greta consistently makes these links as part of the reason she fights for Palestine. So no, Greta Thunberg has not changed, she’s doubled down.

    None of that happened to no-one’s surprise.

    Because they were kidnapped while trying to do so.

      Of course that would happen. You get detained when you illegally try to smuggle stuff into any country. Bit much to pretend that’s kidnapping.

      That’s exactly the point: no good happens because of her badly thought out theatrics. Au contraire.

        They were in international waters. Also, what do you mean smuggle? They weren’t snuggling anything. Are you pro genocide or something?

          Smuggle, as in transferring goods in conflict with a society’s laws. Especially since the UN offered to bring the goods themselves.

          Ofcourse immediatelly pretending I have to be pro-genocide because I disagree with a stupid “activism” tactic.

          Horrible tribalistic thinking you have. Devoid of nuance and understanding. Making the world a worse place in doing so.

          Do you like that hamas is now mass murdering palestinians? Do you like it when they murder civilians in general? Of course you have to like that, because you’re anti israel. - See what backwards thinking that is. Solely designed to stop reasonable discourse. It’s the same you are doing with your dumb fucking argument.

          Why do you like the mass execution of civilians? Especially children! Explain yourself!

            Says the person crying about people trying to get paid to people in Gaza. It’s like you don’t even hear yourself. “See what backwards thinking that is?” Buddy, you’re the one saying people sending aid to Gaza are throwing a tantrum.

              Still gotta explain yourself. Why do you like civilians being murdered? Why does that bring you joy?

              You’re a horrible person for doing so.

              Says the person crying about people trying to get paid to people in Gaza

              Yes exactly well argued

              Buddy, you’re the one saying people sending aid to Gaza are throwing a tantrum

              That’s not what they were doing. If aiding gazan’s was the goal, they would’ve accepted the UN help to get the goods into gaza, and would’ve been successful.

              Instead they did their own theatrics, helped no-one but their own ego’s. Deprived the people of gaza from getting those goods.

              Something you would understand as you too enjoy hurting civilians for your own pleasure!
