Greta Thunberg has come under fire over her pro-Palestinian stance in Germany, where the local chapter of climate movement Fridays for Future distanced itself from her views on Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, AFP reports.
Thunberg, wearing the Palestinian black and white scarf, had urged “ceasefire now” at a climate protest on Sunday in Amsterdam, before being interrupted by a man who sought to snatch the microphone from her, saying he had come for a climate protest, not for her other views.
Her statements in Amsterdam marked “the end of Greta Thunberg as a climate activist,” said Volker Becker, the president of the German-Israel Society DIG, adding that “from now: Israel hater is the main job” for the Swedish activist.
The Israeli embassy in Germany also wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it was “sad that Greta Thunberg is again misusing the climate stage for her own purposes”.
