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.

I know you think everyone in the world is as apathetic and useless as you and your friends are but I've been out at protests nearly every week since February

Okay, protests. Cool. Not without risk, but you're still just begging.

Also; bold of you to assume i have friends.

You can type whatever you want to justify your apathy, it means nothing to me
