You recall Greta Thunberg when she was a not-particularly-cute child, and we weren’t allowed to make jokes about her not being particularly cute because she was a child.
Well, now she’s 22 years old, so I can say whatever the hell I want about her: She is an obnoxious brat. She was always obnoxious.
Thunberg first heard about climate change in 2011, when she was eight; she said she stopped talking, stopped eating, and lost 22 lbs. over it at age 11.
Instead of going to school and getting the treatment she probably deserved, her father got her treatment, took her out of school, and put her on camera repeatedly. He said, “She can either sit at home and be really unhappy, or protest and be happy.”
She has spent the last ten years gallivanting around the globe and protesting. She started with climate change, where she famously lectured all the adults for not doing enough, in her humble opinion, to stop the world from getting warmer.
Just kidding, she wasn’t humble, she was obnoxious.
But it was that very obnoxiousness that endeared her to the Left-wing media machine, which finds small children saying idiotically reductive things to be wise and useful.
In 2018, she yelled at the adults like a brat, “My message is that we’ll be watching you. … You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. … We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!”
Now that she’s 22, she still dresses like a little girl and cosplays as a teenager, but now she’s graduated to the new Leftist radical cause of the day: standing for terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
This Swedish truant who still hasn’t graduated college is now heading for Gaza in a boat – a boat reminiscent of the terrorist flotilla from 2010 in which friends of Hamas sent a set of ships to Gaza laden with goods that would immediately have gone to support the terrorist group. They were offered passage at Ashdod, an Israeli port, and turned it down, fearing that Israel would confiscate the goods, even though Israel had offered to coordinate any aid with the UN. Many of the participants in that flotilla attacked Israeli troops attempting to stop it, and some even grabbed weapons of the Israelis; ten Israeli soldiers were wounded. Seven of the nine people on the ships killed in response by Israeli troops had openly issued wishes to die as martyrs.
Anyway, back to our moronic story – Greta’s pleasure cruise. Our Pippi Longstocking wannabe heroine has now loaded onto the Madleen ship, launched by the so-called Freedom Flotilla Coalition. Thunberg herself has taken the lead, calling to “dismantle Zionism” – which, for the record, means the forcible killing of millions of Jews, who currently live in an actual, not fictional state, called Israel.
A few months ago she declared, “What are we going to do? We will crush Zionism.”
Thunberg has been joined by propagandists from the Qatari news outlet Al Jazeera, as well as an actor from “Game of Thrones.” They say they’re trying to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, even though Israel has actually taken over the distribution of humanitarian aid directly, thus breaking Hamas’ stranglehold over the Palestinian population, who are now free to actually receive aid without having to worry about having it stolen directly by Hamas.
One of the big problems with the UN is they worked for Hamas. And so all the aid that was going in was being hijacked by Hamas. Hamas was then taking it and using it themselves, or they would sell it back to the Palestinians at inflated rates to pay for their terror tunnels. What’s happening right now is that Palestinians are actually beginning to get aid, and it’s breaking the Hamas stranglehold over the Palestinian population. It’s actually creating the possibility of a true Palestinian uprising against Hamas.

So what Thunberg is doing is actually part of a gigantic propaganda effort launched by the exact same forces that lied earlier this week by claiming that Israel had shot dozens of people at an aid distribution center, a complete and total lie parroted by the Left-wing media.
Thunberg has suddenly decided that climate change is soooo tiring and boring and that Hamas is super-hot right now.It’s all part of her broader crusade to get herself arrested so she can attain the same levels of attention she used to when she was a child actress.
Now, this sort of stuff — taking a boat to Gaza — is super silly and kind of funny — and stupid. I’m hoping that this whole thing turns into one of the world’s most entertaining reality specials, with the engine of the boat breaking so that we get the world’s most ridiculous version of “Gilligan’s Island.”
The problem is that Greta, despite the hair, doesn’t really carry it forward the way Marianne did, and the whole crew of the USS Minnow has been replaced by smelly environmentalists who really, really hate Jews. And just like the USS Minnow, they may be stuck wherever they land for years at a time, because none of these people are going to make a radio out of a coconut.
The real question here is the same as always: Why is it that we can almost certainly identify – always! – climate change activists as fans of Hamas, one of the least environmentally-friendly groups on the planet?
The answer is simple: the Omnicause. These people are simply interested in “fighting the system,” by which they mean capitalism and the West, which was always Greta’s thing. She’s been saying a version of this crap since 2019, when she released a book and somehow, incredibly, became even more obnoxious, saying, “What we refer to as ‘normal’ is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet. It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.”
These people hate the West. And so I wish them a pleasant three-hour tour. And if they land on the shores of some uncharted desert isle, I hope that they land without their keffiyehs, so that they can see how the Hamas locals treat them without their terror solidarity insignias – how Westerners are treated when they end up among the actual barbarians they believe they support.
This is part of a broader movement that actually is quite dangerous, because when the West begins to parrot the absolute lies of terror groups, that has consequences. When you continue to say the word “genocide,” when a genocide never has applied in this area, you are fomenting the same language that leads to a raising of the temperature.
And when you raise the temperature this much, people are going to get violent.
