After being deported from Israel for joining the Hamas-backed “Global Sumud” flotilla, Greta Thunberg launches a furious anti-Israel tirade in Athens.
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has once again traded environmental activism for radical politics, unleashing a fiery anti-Israel rant after being deported from Israel for participating in the Hamas-linked “Global Sumud Flotilla.”
Speaking at a press conference in Athens’ Eleftherios Venizelos Airport on Monday, Thunberg accused Israel of carrying out what she absurdly termed a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza — comments that drew outrage from Jewish organizations and Israeli officials, who condemned her remarks as “propaganda for terrorists in activist disguise.”
The flotilla, intercepted by the Israeli Navy last week, carried barely two tons of aid — “less than one-tenth of a single humanitarian truck,” according to Israel’s Foreign Ministry — but was loaded with anti-Israel activists from across Europe, many linked to organizations that have previously coordinated with Hamas’s propaganda networks.
Israel detained 171 individuals, including Thunberg, before deporting them to Greece and Slovakia. The ministry labeled them “provocateurs attempting to breach a lawful blockade designed to stop Hamas weapon smuggling.”
Upon her arrival in Greece, Thunberg — greeted by cheering supporters — alleged that she had suffered “mistreatment” while in Israeli custody but insisted that her focus remained on Gaza.
“There is a genocide going on in front of our very eyes, a live-streamed genocide,” she claimed. “No one will be able to say we didn’t know.”
Observers noted the irony of Thunberg’s statement: while Hamas continues to hold Israeli hostages in underground tunnels and fire rockets from civilian areas, the activist has remained silent on Hamas’s atrocities of October 7, 2023, when 1,200 Israelis were slaughtered and over 250 kidnapped.
Israeli diplomats dismissed her comments as “performative outrage detached from reality.”
“The only thing Greta Thunberg livestreamed was a Hamas PR stunt,” said one Israeli official. “Her flotilla carried slogans, not aid.”
Analysts described Thunberg’s shift from climate activism to anti-Israel extremism as part of a broader campaign to delegitimize Israel under the guise of human rights, a movement that conveniently ignores the terror, misogyny, and repression perpetuated by Hamas.
Thunberg’s statements have cemented her transformation from environmental crusader to a willing voice in a propaganda war, demonstrating once again how global activism can be weaponized against the world’s only Jewish state.
