Greta’s T-Shirt Glorifies the Intifada — in GERMANY

Greta Thunberg, the former climate activist and current Hamas supporter, was spotted walking around Germany sporting a T-shirt bearing the slogan “Yalla Intifada.”

For Jews and Israelis, the word “intifada” calls to mind the approximately 150 suicide bombings in Israel during the Second Intifada that claimed the lives of over 1,000 men, women, children and babies from 2000 to 2005. For Thunberg to wear that shirt in the Holocaust’s place of origin is seen by many not so much as callous and tone-deaf as it is malicious.

The woman who, as a teenager, took the world by storm with her climate activism is, according to her critics, surely smart enough to know what the word “intifada” evokes in the hearts and minds of Jews and what wearing such a shirt in Germany, of all places, signifies. According to Thunberg’s critics, she is effectively calling for the genocide of the Jewish people, the very crime she accuses the Jewish state of committing.

Jewish activists posted their reactions on Facebook.

“For Jews and Israelis, the Intifadas were terrifying periods of senseless violence that left hundreds of civilians dead. To Greta, it’s a fun novelty tee,” wrote Hen Mazzig.

“This may be a giant game to her but for Jews and Israelis it’s a deadly threat,” Heidi Bachram noted.

Rabbi Poupko, host of The Jewish World Podcast, said, “Greta Thunberg has been prancing around Berlin today with a t-shirt that says Yalla Intifada. I narrowly escaped death after a double suicide bombing that was part of the Palestinian Intifada.”

“I urge Polizei Berlin to stop the open incitement for the murder of Jews in Germany and to hold Greta accountable,” he added.

In a separate incident, Thunberg was escorted away by police for illegally occupying Rheinmetall’s office in Berlin, a defense company that serves as a key supplier to Ukraine for its wartime military needs. According to Thunberg, the defense contractor will be sending weapons to Israel, hence the need to glue herself to the ground outside the company office.

The glue, however, did not stop the police from extracting her from that spot and pulling her away.
