Israel's Backers Are Now Advocating The Assassination Of Greta Thunberg (www.caitlinjohnst.one)

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.

It is illegal to call for violence online.

Except if you call for for the full mass murder of two million brown people including 1 million children. That is totally normal and accepted in Western society. And the murder of Greta Thunberg of course.

The poors don't matter, their lives don't matter, the poor browns might as well be cockroaches.

But wouldn't you think of the humanity of the healthcare CEO, their friends, family and loved ones? All life is precious??
