There are probably many things activist Greta Thunberg doesn’t know while she “globalizes the intifada,” as is the trend these days.
For instance, what does she know about keffiyehs, a symbol of terrorism that she proudly wears with her comrades aboard the
Madleen, the ship that sailed to Gaza to deliver “humanitarian aid” before being stopped by Israel? Who did she plan to give it to? Since she and her shipmates weren’t working through organized channels, the only interlocutors would have been Hamas affiliates; they certainly wouldn’t be Israelis or Americans. Thunberg may mean well, but does she realize that Hamas seizes aid, using it to recruit new terrorists and starve more people?
As for the keffiyeh, did she even look at it before putting it on? Does she know that it’s the ceremonial garment of thousands and thousands of terrorists? It’s hard even to list them all: those who blew up the Sbarro’s pizzeria in Jerusalem in 2001, killing 16 people, including Americans; those who attacked public buses, hotels and even a disco that same year, leaving behind hundreds and hundreds of corpses, including the elderly and young children; those who murdered Israeli athletes and coaches at the Munich Olympics in 1972; and on and on until Oct. 7, 2023, and in all the days since.
Terrorists wearing keffiyehs have been responsible for the killing and maiming of thousands and thousands of real, verifiable victims, including the more than 1,200 killed on Oct. 7, unlike the fake casualty figures reported by a Hamas ministry or
Al Jazeera.
The kefiyyeh, which the activist and her friends on the Madleen wear proudly, is a symbol of hate that has been worn by terrorists attacking Jews.
