“Climate activist Greta Thunberg arrested at Eurovision pro-Palestinian protest,” Jerusalem Post, May 11, 2024:
Climate activist Greta Thunberg was arrested on Saturday night at a pro-Palestinian protest outside of the Eurovision arena by the local police in Malmo, Sweden, Y-Net reported on Saturday night.
Footage shared on X showed Thunberg wrapped in a keffiyeh scarf being carried out of the event by the police….
Nathaniel Winterson says
Well, at least the Swedish police got it right. And in Malmo, which I understand has the largest urban Muslim population in Europe.

Wouldn’t that be Marseilles in France? I’m not sure about the total metropolitan population of each of those cities, however. In terms of absolute numbers (rather than percentages) I think that London or Paris would be higher).
maria says
Yes, Malmö once a nice city is now completely destroyed
gravenimage says
Malmö used to have a large Jewish population–now it is over 20% Muslim and growing. It also is hotbed of crime and Jihad.

Good to hear some common sense from Cameron.
Goofy says
Considering the futile and immoral action of protesting for the “rights” of the Muslim rapists and murderers according to the Qur’an, her CO2 emissions must be considered to be unnecessarily if not irresponsibly high.
She should be put on a breathing fast and in addition be ordered to redeem a meaningful amount of emissions certificates!
Alena says
Yes, she is exhaling CO2, and that’s detrimental to the climate.
Cato the Elder says
I think it’s time we air-dropped Greta into Shanghai so she can lecture the CCP on the evil of coal plants.
Five bucks she joins the Uyghurs in a week.

Rufolino says
Send her home to her crazy-leftist mum, of whom Greta is merely the catspaw.
Joe says
It is hard to understand why the left would canonize her. She has all the charm of HRC but even more daft.
gravenimage says
I think some Leftists enjoy being castigated by an aggressive, self-righteous child. Of course, now she isn’t a kid any more…

Oh right:the keffiyeh.
Little Saint Greta Thunberg
The patron saint of catastrophically useless students , virtue signalling leftie hypocrites and ecofascists
I am sure she will have a statue made in her honor..there is good money in socialism
I care about the environment …but justforoil are middle class leftie frauds
Just stop oil?We need oil.Thanks oil!But..
..Rollin,rollin,rollin,keep those barrels roliin,keep those barrels rollin rawhide.
no time to understand it…

Good post, FYI.
Tony Rice says
Never could stand the self-opinionated “, ‘rollope ” and even less so now. Unbelievable that someone supposedly of such high morals ( for others btw ) that she supports kidnapping, deaths in custody, mass murder. rape, burning alive of babies, cutting open pregnant women, extracting the babies and cutting their heads off, GHASTLY woman.
Wellington says
As David Horowitz said many years ago, environmentalism is a watermelon—green on the outside and red on the inside.
Hank says
She should get a job as a scarecrow in some gigantic farm field somewhere. How much more ecological could she get.
Farmers would fight over her to get that 100% harvest.
tim gallagher says
My immediate reaction was, who gives a shit what this idiotic brat is doing now? But, unfortunately, many fools do seem to keep paying attention to this idiot, the puppet of her child abusing left wing parents I believe, is doing. She should be sent to school (which I think she never bothered with) or forced to go and get a proper type of job, the way most normal people do, and stop boring the majority of people with her moronically stupid actions and words. There’s a village somewhere that is missing its idiot and it is time she went back home to that village.

Spot on, Tim.

“My immediate reaction was, who gives a shit what this idiotic brat is doing now?”
You always cut right to the “heart of the matter”.
My compliments.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, gravenimage, and, James, that was my immediate reaction. But I was being unfair and I do feel sorry for Greta and I feel that she is the victim of child abuse by her parents who have, no doubt, filled her mind, making her a complete misery guts, with scary ideas that the world is facing imminent climate catastrophe. Maybe she would be a depressive anyway, and I personally know plenty about that unfortunate curse, and she is somewhere on the autistic spectrum I think I heard ages ago, but her parents really have poisoned her mind. I read some commenter here in Australia who said that Greta always looks so miserable all the time and that is true. Many children seem to be being indoctrinated with a hopelessness because they’ re told that the world is about to end due to climate change, etc. I’ve seen kids crying because of this scary future their minds have been filled with. I guess that Greta is now an adult and could diverge from her leftie parents’ agenda, but maybe she is incapable of that. She seems to be a puppet with the parents pulling the strings. I could never understand why anyone listened to her because she surely knows pretty well nothing about all issues.
gravenimage says
I agree, Tim. But Greta Thunberg is now 21 years of age, and that is old enough to start thinking for herself.
And as I noted, *supporting the genocidal Hamas* is much worse than thinking you are helping save the world from ‘climate change’.
tim gallagher says
That’s true, gravenimage, but i don’t know whether she is capable of acting like a normal type of adult. I think that she has some degree of autism and so she may not be able to break free of her parents. On the “Outsiders” show yesterday on Sky News, one of the three presenters said, after they showed Greta giving her views on gaza, something along the lines of, oh now she has solved the climate problem and now she is an expert on the situation in gaza. To me, the only interesting, and very weird thing about this whole Greta Thunberg caper is that anyone would listen to a young person who really probably knows nothing about anything. It’s a holy fool type of weird phenomenon. To me, anyone who supports hamas in any way at all is just plain evil or, maybe, insane and inhabiting another planet in a moral sense. I suspect that Greta will become totally irrelevant before much longer. I hope that happens. It should have happened already. She’s had more than enough of celebrity.
James Lincoln says
Yes, tim.
No doubt that her Leftist parents influenced her.
But she’s an adult now – and, at some point, has to be held accountable for her actions.
࿗Infidel࿘ says

She may be 21, but she does suffer from Asparagus Syndrome. I therefore don’t expect anything off her, but at the same time, make it a point to completely ignore her, which I think is the appropriate thing to do when such people act up
tim gallagher says
I see her as a victim of abuse by her leftist parents, James. She should be able to make her own decisions and break free although I’m not sure she is capable of that. I imagine her parents would be very manipulative types. Infidel, I agree with you. I think the world should ignore her totally and she might have some chance of finding a somewhat normal type of life. This whole Thunberg phenomenon has been weird and all the attention is probably not in her best interests at all.
gravenimage says
Tim and Infidel, I *do* realize that Greta Thunberg is autistic–and that many autistic people often lack an ability to read people well and so are often very easily influenced. I also tend to cut autistic people a lot more slack than most as a result.
But she seems to have at least an average intelligence, so at some point it is on her to develop at least basic morals–and to be called out on it if she does not. She is also very self righteous–even though she is so often wrong, and never more so than in this case.
James Lincoln says
tim,
I agree, she appears to be a victim of abuse by her leftist parents. And there is also the possibility of “high functioning” autism, possibly Asperger’s.
I’m trying to be as empathetic toward her as I possibly can, but it’s pretty darn difficult considering her actions…
tim gallagher says
gravenimage and James, I wish Greta Thunberg would just be ignored by the media. I always found the entire phenomenon weird because I thought, well why bother with her, this very cranky, bitter “How dare you” as I recall the little twerp saying to the older generation. She wouldn’t know much about anything. I used to do some work with autistic adults, but they were very low functioning, not at all like Greta. I think she will disappear soon. I was surprised to see her back in the news again. I have sometimes wondered if she is pleased, as in a bit of an ego trip, to garner the attention she gets, but I don’t think she does seem to be on an ego trip. She seems always to be kind of flat in terms of emotion, except for being an angry young person, no doubt her brainwashing parents would do that to her. I imagine that they would have poisoned her mind a lot. Hopefully, she will do a disappearing act and the media will decide she just boring, which she surely is.

Having saved the climate, Greta Thunberg gets arrested at Eurovision pro-Hamas protest
……………………………….
Yes–I saw this story in the Jersualem Post.
While Greta Thunberg’s “climate change” clap trap *might* be considered well meaning–if ridicuous–her support of murderous Hamas is *anything but*.
Glad she got arrested. And good to see X poster “Nazi Hunter” characterize her as “Greta Nürnberger”–making clear Islam’s homicidal antisemitism and its similariity to that of the Fascists.

Thanks, Wellington.
John Smith says
Gravenimage, how dare you say, “glad she got arrested”, Don’t you realise just how much Greta Thunberg has done for this world in which we live. She has single handedly taken on the industrial polluters, and is without doubt the saviour of our planet. What an incredible person she is.
Now she has taken the side of those poor Palestinians that are being persecuted and slaughtered by those evil Jews. If there ever was an angel on earth it was Greta.
P.S. I have just returned from the pub.

She’s autistic. If you left a guy w/ her, he’d get ignored, and before long, would return to his phone, even if he weren’t a phone addict
gravenimage says
Some autistic people *are* capable of having close relationships, including quite successful ones. But given Thunberg’s obvious aggressive intolerace for anyone who disagrees with her in any way, she doesn’t seem like a promising prospect…

GRETA just want to be loved on social media. The only thing she truly cares about is herself and views. A professional loud mouth.
Ralph says
My Sicilian heritage inclines me to want miscreants such as Threata Doomberg to have a miserable future for all the sturm and drang they stir up on behalf of their sacred causes. Clearly, this wart on society is heading down the path to lifetime misery. ‘There, I feel better already.
Andrew Blackadder says
I had a female friend that lives in Bern Switzerland who would inform me about just how wonderful wee Greta is and what great things she is personally doing for the Planet and I replied that she is nothing but a mentally sick ego tripping self righteous moron that has charmed a World full of sensationalism and so this friend blocked me before telling me just how evil I am to a young girl..
This friend in Switzerland is Jewish so I wonder what she thinks of wee Greta today and how right I was about her, however I dont expect to hear back from her with any kind of apology as folks never seem to admit to me that I was right when I was right but sure as hell inform me about when Im wrong.
Shalom.
