Greta's Solidarity With Palestinians Now Lands Her in the Slammer

Greta Thunberg, it seems, is trying to stretch her 15 minutes of fame out to a half-hour; maybe even 45 minutes. Having apparently given up climate change panic-mongering as a bad job, she's now gone all-in for agitating on behalf of "Palestinians," because the Muslim world is so famous for its sensitivity to climate issues.

And, once again, that tiresome girl has been arrested, this time in London.

Greta Thunberg was arrested in central London on Tuesday while supporting pro-Palestinian activists who are staging a hunger strike to protest their imprisonment while awaiting trial on charges related to a series of earlier demonstrations.
The protest group Prisoners for Palestine shared a video showing the 22-year-old Swede holding a sign supporting the hunger strikers and their organization, known as Palestine Action. The British government earlier this year banned Palestine Action as a terrorist organization.

It's not clear what (if anything) the infamous Doom Pixie is being charged with, as the report indicates she was standing holding a sign, while apparently it was other ~~activists~~ nutcases that sprayed red paint on a business. This looks on the surface like one or more of the London bobbies, who no doubt arrived on the scene shouting, "What's all this, then?" decided that everybody involved was going to jail, and they'd sort it out later.

The protests were part of a larger demonstration in which two other activists sprayed red paint in front of an insurance company in the City of London, the area of central London known as the hub of Britain’s financial services industry. Prisoners for Palestine says they targeted the insurer because it supports the Israel-linked defense firm Elbit Systems.
City of London police said a man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. A third woman was later arrested on suspicion of supporting a banned organization. British police generally do not identify suspects by their names prior to their being charged.

Because spraying red paint on an insurance company's front windows is a well-known way to make uncommitted people stop, think, and say, "You know, they may have a point."

Greta Thunberg Caught Lying: Shows Israeli Hostage As 'Palestinian Prisoner'

No, not really. What this really is is grandstanding for attention, and if Greta Thunberg is good at nothing else - a postulate I think we can take as a given - she's good at grandstanding for attention. She's racked up a pretty good rap sheet in the process:

In February 2024, Thunberg was acquitted by a court in London of refusing to follow a police order to leave a protest blocking the entrance to a major oil and gas industry conference.
She has repeatedly been fined in Sweden and the U.K. for civil disobedience in connection with protests.

Not exactly a hardened criminal, then, just someone who has a knack for appearing in front of cameras.

The great irony in all this is her sudden support for "Palestinians." One of her latest escapades was the ill-fated Selfie Flotilla, which she and her fellow nuts claimed was running aid to Gaza, and if you think that equates to running aid to Hamas, you'd be exactly right. Only there was no aid on any of the ships seized by Israel, which sort of negates any claim the Selfie Flotilla crews had to be doing anything worthwhile other than publicity-farming. And Hamas, we might note, is notorious for its disregard to environmental issues, which makes Greta's lateral arabesque from climate-change nutcase to Palestine nutcase all the more astounding.

So, you might ask, why give her more publicity here? Because 1) it's funny, and 2) exposing the hypocrisy of the left is always worth doing, every day and twice on Sunday.
