Danish police on Wednesday detained the anti-Israel Swedish activist Greta Thunberg at a demonstration at the University of Copenhagen against the war on Hamas terrorists in Gaza, local media reported.

She was among six people apprehended after a group of 20 protesters blocked the entrance to a university building. Thunberg was later released from detention, according to Danish media reports, and the daily Ekstra Bladet showed video footage of her walking out of a police station.

The 21-year-old left-wing activist, who rose to international fame for calling attention to climate change, has previously accused Israel of genocide over the nearly 11-month-old war against Palestinian terrorists in Gaza.

Last year, she called to “crush Zionism” at a pro-Hamas rally in Sweden.

The school drop-out has pursued a full-time career against what she warns is an impending climate-related crisis.
