Greta Thunberg, an infamous Swedish climate activist, has come under fire after a controversial post.
The post contained multiple people holding posters, primarily supporting Gaza/Palestine.
Once again, this ignores the central conflict with the terrorist organization of Hamas.
Check out the post below:
#GretaThunberg using a well known Nazi antisemitic symbol, showing Jews as some kind of octopus, is unforgivable. Disgraceful. pic.twitter.com/hqMU6VU57T

That’s right.
Many attributed the blue octopus showcased by her shoulder as an antisemitic symbol.
Check out the similarity between the stuffed octopus and Nazi propaganda:

It seems too intentional to be a coincidence.
Fox News shares more on the story and Greta’s response:
Early Friday morning, the 20-year-old Swedish activist posted a since-deleted photo of herself and three other activists with signs that read, “Free Palestine,” “Climate Justice Now,” “This Jew Stands With Palestine” and “Stand With Gaza.” The photo included a blue octopus that had a frowning face and was sitting on one of the activists’ legs.
“Today we strike in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza. The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected,” she wrote in the post. Moments later, Thunberg deleted it and shared a nearly identical photo — the same four people holding the same four signs — this time with the stuffed animal cut out of the photo.
“It has come to my knowledge that the stuffed animal shown in my earlier post can be interpreted as a symbol for antisemitism, which I was completely unaware of,” she wrote in an accompanying post. “The toy in the picture is a tool often used by autistic people as a way to communicate feelings.”
Of course, Greta defended herself by saying that it was an accident.
Her response:
🇸🇪🤡 | I genuinely do not know how to describe this… You cannot make this up!
🔸 Greta Thunberg made a post supporting Palestine, and then deleted it because she thinks the stuffed animal in the background was anti-semitic! pic.twitter.com/1y5hKZUmsY

Greta can not seem to stay out of trouble recently.
She was just charged with a public order offense in London after protesting in London.
CNN shares more on the story here:
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has been charged with a public order offense following her arrest for protesting outside this year’s Energy Intelligence Forum in London, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement Wednesday.
The 20-year-old was charged with a failure to comply with a “condition imposed under Section 14 of the Public Order Act,” the statement outlined.
Thunberg had been attending a demonstration organized by climate group Fossil Free London outside the Intercontinental Hotel in London’s Park Lane, protesting the annual summit that gathers chief executives from oil and gas companies.
Doesn’t Greta have school to attend?
It’s not summer last time I checked.
Please leave it to a child with no concept of reality to lecture the rest of the world on what should be done.
