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.

Zionists are outright monsters. I genuinely worry for her safety. She’s got a target on her back.

I hope they realize that she'd instantly become a martyr and her death would only galvanize the resistance against them.

Will it though? They've been killing civilians for decades and ramped up recently to include medics, journalists and even diplomats...
Mango Mussolini's in the White House so their asses are covered and supplied, as always, now more than ever.
The media and many governments have been turning to the right.

She'll be news for a couple of days and then it's business as usual. Some instances will issue even more stern "don't be naughty" BS and... nothing will happen.

I really hope i'm wrong though.
