Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been labeled “antisemite of the Week” by the Jewish watchdog group StopAntisemitism following her arrest at an anti-Israel rally. The group criticized Thunberg for aligning with protesters who oppose Israel, accusing her of turning her activism into a platform for anti-Semitism, the New York Post reported.

“She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred,” the organization said.

Thunberg, 21, was arrested on September 4 while demonstrating with Students Against the Occupation, who called on Copenhagen University to cut ties with Israel, including climate change programs. StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel’s efforts on climate action.

    All the Jewish people I know are emphatically against the genocide of Palestinians. So are they antisemitic or am I antisemitic for knowing them???

    Israel maybe has Judaism as its state religion, but that doesn’t make Israel Judaism. Does Israel really think people are that stupid?

      Looking at their propaganda, yes. Yes they do. And their super PACs ensure that the politicians they’ve pocketed parrot the same lines they say.

    I wonder how long until the woman I met who is actively in the process of converting to Judaism gets labeled a rabid antisemite for her radical stand of “loudly proclaiming that she and many other Jews oppose the genocide against Palestine”.

    “It’s OK, I’m Jewish.”

    “Oh, I’m sorry. Do anything you want, all the time.”

    Is society ready to admit that Jews don’t get a free pass to do whatever the fuck they want anymore clinging to the Holocaust as an excuse?

        AIPAC and organisations like stopantisemitism have made it their mission in this world to ensure that there is no public distinction between Jewish people as a whole and the nation of Israel.

    “antisemite of the week” why does this sound like something that came out of an edgy nazi forum, and not from a group against antisemitism?

    I badly want to leave comments under the articles on that website. But not enough to make an account. The other commenters are ghouls cheering on genocide.

    Being against Israel and its Genocide is as much anti-semitism as being against the Nazis and their Genocide was anti-white.

    I’m doing a ton of sleuthing, and I can’t find one article detailing any efforts Israel has made to curb climate change.

      In fact, Israel’s attack on Gaza has resulted in emissions from the first 120 days to exceed the annual emissions of 26 individual countries.

        But all those murdered innocent civilians won’t be creating any more carbon emissions. Did you factor in that enormous factor?

          I bet the carbon footprint of a regular Gazans is a small fraction from the footprint of a settler.

          Think of all those babies they murdered: it all adds up to lots of entire human lives worth of emissions avoided.

    “Crime is bad”

    “Wow hate black people much”

    “Uhhhhh wtf nobody mentioned black people but you dude”

    “You’re a racist who hates black people, you just said it yourself!”

    That’s that 2024-level dialogue we’ve all come to love.
