Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has once again used a climate demonstration to side with the Palestinians. Wearing a traditional black and white Palestinian scarf around her neck, she told a livestream meeting in Amsterdam on Sunday that the climate movement had a duty to “listen to the voices of those who are oppressed and who are fighting for peace and justice.” Many participants reacted with outrage (see video above).
Thunberg then passed the microphone to a woman, also wearing a Palestinian scarf, who claimed that Israel was “committing genocide in my country.” Israel mainly attacks hospitals and civilians, the woman said.
Many participants were outraged by Thunberg
Many participants responded with outrage to the accusations. A man jumped on stage in front of the cameras and shouted into the microphone: “I came here for a climate demonstration, not to hear political views.”
Thunberg then called on participants to remain calm and then chanted several times: “No climate justice on occupied land.” She was clearly referring to the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories.
Following a similar move last month, Thunberg was already criticized for not specifically mentioning the Israeli victims of the October 7 Hamas massacre that left about 1,200 dead.
According to organizers, approximately 85,000 people took part in the climate demonstration; It was the largest demonstration of this kind in the Netherlands to date.
