Where would we be without 20-year-old activists who are "on strike" from attending school to tell us what to do at all times? 

Greta Thunberg is back, and this time she's joining the debate of Israel's attempts to destroy Hamas after the latter carried out the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, killing over 1,400 people, with at least 200 others still being held hostage. In a since-deleted picture, Thunberg and other climate change fanatics are seen holding various poster boards with intellectually vapid messages on them. 

Here's what that looked like, and then we'll get into why it was deleted. 

Greta deleted it. Probably realized it was the final nail in her green cult movement. pic.twitter.com/l9hoNtrwc3

To be clear, anyone "standing with Gaza" is wittingly or unwittingly excusing Hamas' massacres. The terror group is the ruling authority in the territory, and it enjoys broad public support based on polling. You can't simply pretend that Hamas isn't connected to the people. You can work to mitigate civilian casualties, as Israel has done, but it is delusional to believe there is a vast delineation in ideology.

Further, even if it weren't true that Hamas enjoys broad support, posting that you "stand" with a territory that invaded and slaughtered its neighbors comes with certain connotations that can't be ignored. Would it have been okay to proclaim "stand with Germany" during World War II just because America bombed Berlin? Not all Germans were nazis, right? 

Only when it comes to Israel defending itself does the standard suddenly shift, and Thunberg's picture hints at a reason for that. Namely, she positioned a blue octopus over her left shoulder. That matters because the blue octopus was a Nazi Germany-era symbol used in various antisemitic cartoons to promote the idea that Jews were going to take over the world. 

Thunberg eventually released this apology. 

Imagine what else you don’t know despite the strong opinions you have on so many issues.

Also, your explanation as to how the octopus stuffie was specifically propped up for this specific photo on this specific issue is spurious, at best. pic.twitter.com/E2zogOk5qz

According to Thunberg, the positioning of the blue octopus was completely accidental and just a facet of people with autism trying to convey their feelings. I'm sure that's a thing with some autistic people when dealing with them in person, but in a picture, that explanation makes little sense. If she needed to convey her feelings more, she could have just held up another poster.

So there are two explanations here. Either Thunberg is an antisemite, which is perfectly possible given her far-left viewpoints on essentially everything, or she is a completely vapid individual with zero knowledge of history or foreign affairs. In either case, no one should be taking anything she says seriously.
