According to rahyafte (the missionaries and converts website):She demanded an end to Israel’s “inexcusable violence” days after the Zionist regime resumed attacks against the people of the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas resistance movement’s Al-Aqsa Flood Operation against Israel “cannot in any way legitimize Israel’s ongoing war crimes,” the Swedish activist said in an opinion piece published Tuesday in several outlets.
“Genocide is not self-defense, nor is it in any way a proportionate response.”
Thunberg, whom Israel has lambasted for publicly showing her support for the Palestinian cause, pushed back against accusations that her activist movement, Fridays for Future, has “been radicalized” or “become political.”
“We have always been political, because we have always been a movement for justice,” she wrote. “Standing in solidarity with Palestinians and all affected civilians has never been in question for us.”
In the fiery op-ed with other members of the Fridays for Future Sweden group, Thunberg slammed Swedish military cooperation with Israeli arms companies, which she says “makes Sweden complicit in Israel’s occupation and mass killing.”
“Demanding an end to this inexcusable violence is a question of basic humanity, and we call on everyone who can to do so,” Thunberg said. “Silence is complicity. You cannot be neutral in an unfolding genocide.”
Thunberg also pointed to the “sharp increase” in Islamophobic acts across the world, including in Sweden, where far-right Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Åkesson recently suggested demolishing mosques.
“This is unacceptable,” she wrote. “We unreservedly condemn all forms of discrimination, including antisemitism and Islamophobia.”
Last week, Israel renewed its offensive in Gaza after a truce between Israel and Hamas collapsed. The Zionist regime’s offensive has killed more than 16,000 Palestinians so far.
