It's not about Thunberg, I think you just don't like her. You both seem to be in alignment with Piers Morgan, which is pretty horrific, that this is about ego not Gaza. It's all about Gaza. Israel can murder Palestinians and kidnap people bringing aid to them in International waters. It's highlighted that there's nothing the world can or is prepared to do to stop Israel. So what do you suggest then to actually help starving Palestinians if risking lives to highlight it is not good enough for you?

That’s just a fully reductionist argument. We pointed out the multiple reasons why it is distracting, the perspective that she is against armed resistance, and in fact pointed out her past, not that what she’s doing now is bad. You clearly did not get it or chose to ignore whatever we actually said. It’s fine to not agree but to then compare us to Pierce, who has diametrically opposed ZIONIST views, is childish.

They aren’t risking their lives. They’re being given snacks. Israel isn’t going to attack them, this is PR for them. Tell me how many Palestinians this action has saved? 0. It’s highlighted those like Greta and that’s why we are having this conversation.

What should people do? I think people with power need to economically and militarily target Zionism. Like Yemen is doing. Nothing less and certainly not pushing endless diplomacy against a fascist entity.

Excellent analysis of the police state that comes out of the Patriot Act purchased by Halliburton using racist dog whistles to terrorize the global south not to resist their resource expropriation using Gaza as the example. The Cold War, hot in the global south, was a great swindle, now the USA is trying to make Ukraine the Russian Laboratory as it goes after a capitalist country with immense resources that the EU is being extorted to participate in.

No it does not at all. Did you listen to the podcast or not? Because multiple times we state we are not bashing her and this is not a bad thing, but also that it's mainly symbolic, it does little to actually help Palestinians. Zionists do not care about helping Palestinians and are only bashing her for her pro-Palestinian views. That is not what is being stated here
