US Senator Lindsay Graham has just tweeted an article titled “Greta Thunberg sets sail with Gaza flotilla that aims to break Israeli naval blockade,” adding the comment, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”

Australian Zionist think tanker Arsen Ostrovsky somehow outdid Graham, tweeting “Oh look, the little jihadi Greta Thunberg is trying to get into Gaza, to show solidarity with Hamas. It would be so sad if something were to happen to her flotilla…”

There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.

      “Colour revolution.”

      Doesn’t matter what you call it. The people coming together to overthrow a dictatorship is still legitimate.

        Euromaidan overthrow the government that succeeded the Orange Revolution

        The second colour revolution to overthrow the government of the first colour revolution… It’s seems like the first colour revolution was not that legitimate by that logic.

          Euromaidan were mass protests by the people of Ukraine. Aren’t leftists supposed to support the proletariat? Why are you supporting the bourgeois oligarchs?

            Aren’t leftists supposed to support the proletariat?

            The ‘people’ in question being US state department officials like Nuland, as well as Ukrainian high politicians and fascist groups like Azov, apparently. /s

            Why are you supporting the bourgeois oligarchs?

            Is this a joke?

            You are literally supporting an incredibly comprador regime in Ukraine that has carried out several unpopular actions that impoverish Ukraine (as in, have already done some impoverishment, but are continuing to do so; these actions include privatisations and the rare earths deal), and which has been dismantling what was left of workers’ rights in Ukraine.
