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.

Zionists =/= jewish people, conflating the two is actually antisemitic, not that you give a shit. There are tons of easily verifiable examples of jewish people around the world protesting against Zionism and of jewish people in Israel bravely refusing to participate in the IDF even when subjected to imprisonment and abuse. Try harder hasbara!

Wow, saying not all jews are real jews? Terrible. Just terrible. You just did a terrorism to me. I am terrorized.

Also, can we talk about where you hung all tjose hitlers? Do you really need one of each paintinf in every rpom?

Is this sarcasm? I'm starting to suspect this might be sarcasm.

I do have one original Hitler though, but it isn't hanging up currently because its smug aura mocks me

He admits it! The antisemite admits he is literally mecha-hitler, doing the plot of wolfenstein for his secret palestinian masters who drink the blood of children and have a space laser! You all heard him admit it! With your ears! It is proof!

"/s" would also have worked

I feel like unless you're armed, there's not a compelling reason to ever take the 'protocols of the elders of zion' larpers seriously. Using a /s would just validate their nonsense.
