Without getting into the Zionism anti-zionism debate which seems more about semantics than anything else. If we can't agree what a Zionist is then we can't really have a definition of anti-zionism.
My problem with Greta is that she was talking about climate change as being the biggest threat to the world. Okay, maybe that's true but suddenly she's shifted gears and now the most recent dust up between Israel and Palestine is the biggest issue for her. She wasn't getting as much media attention as she used to and people were getting bored with her climate change activism but now the recent Israel Gaza conflict is getting a lot more attention. Guess what? Now she's all concerned about Gaza.
If you believe the world is going to end because of climate change in (x) amount of years, that should be your biggest priority. Not the ongoing Israeli-palestinian conflict which has been going on since Israel became a country. Yes, people dying there is terrible but the world ending should be even more terrible. Sorry, Gaza.
Also, if war is your biggest issue doesn't the Russia Ukrainian conflict have way more repercussions for the world? If anything's going to spill over into a big mess, I would think it would be that. Not the "business as usual" between Muslims and Israel. I also believe you have a lot better chance of resolving the Russian Ukrainian war than you do between Israel and the Middle East. That shit has been going on forever and don't see any end in sight.
I view Greta more as a prop than as a person. And frankly I don't really give a shit what some 20-year-old wet behind the ears girl with only a high school education thinks about current global issues. She has absolutely no background other than standing in front of a camera giving out speeches.
Ok, I think I reached my word count for ranting today.
