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.

    Totally ignoring the fact that they started the war with a mass murder.

    How about how Israel was founded on a genocide?

    This isn’t a new “war”. The so called “war” was started in the late 19th century when European zionist colonists went to Palestine to displace or kill Palestinians for their land because they thought they, a bunch of white people, had bigger historical claim to that land than the actual native people that had been there for centuries.

      Just because of Arab skill issue. If it wasn’t so, it would’ve been the other way around.

        LoL! Jewish people were already living in Palestine in peace with the Arabs, Muslims and Christians. Until zionists showed up.

        And how can you talk about skill when the British started funding and facilitating the genocide with weapons, ammo, vehicles and training?

        Man, 'fuck outta here!
