Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Monday appropriated slogans and imagery used by Israeli hostage families to call for the freedom of Palestinian terrorists imprisoned in the Jewish state.
“Host your own demonstrations near Israeli embassies across the world... Demand the release of Palestinian hostages!” the controversial left-wing activist wrote on her Facebook page.
“Bring them home!” concluded Thunberg’s social media post, which contained a video clip of a pro-Palestinian rally outside the Israeli embassy in Sweden calling for the release of all 9,500 Palestinian “hostages” held in “concentration camps” in the Jewish state.
The data cited in the video referred to all Palestinian terrorists, unlawful combatants and other security prisoners held lawfully in Israeli prisons.
The video shared by Thunberg also featured a red ribbon, similar to the yellow ribbon used in Israel to raise awareness regarding the hostages being held by terrorist groups in Gaza.
Last month, Thunberg drew criticism for including a picture of then-Hamas hostage Evyatar David in a social media post about the “suffering of Palestinian prisoners.”
“Ignorance blinded by hate is trending: Greta Thunberg posted about ‘Palestinian prisoners’ using the image of Israeli hostage Evyatar David—starved, abused, and forced by Palestinian Hamas to dig his own grave,” tweeted the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem on Oct. 7.
Thunberg is a 22-year-old environmental crusader who has recently become a vocal advocate for the Palestinians and highly critical of the Jewish state’s two-year war against Hamas.
She was deported twice by Jerusalem, first in June and again in October, following efforts to breach the Gaza naval blockade to deliver what Israeli authorities described as a minuscule amount of aid supplies.
