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.

Keep in mind that Gaza's population density is one of the highest in the world and that Hamas is hiding behind the civilians and thinks it's a good thing when people die[0], and that Hamas is a death cult. That kind of combination is bound to ramp up the casualties.

Ukraine, in stark contrast, is trying to save its civilians.

Hamas is hiding behind the civilians

Funny how Israel cannot present any evidence of that after 2 years of genocide.
