Early Friday morning, climate activist Greta Thunberg let everyone know where she stands on Hamas vs Israel:
Many people noticed a small detail in the photo – the octopus – and believed it to be an antisemitic dog whistle:

So she deleted the post not long afterwards, issuing a clarification and then posting the same photo sans octopus:
She really should have deleted the entire post. You see, there are not many things more antisemitic than turning a blind eye to dead, abducted and raped Jews while showing your support for the society from whom the perpetrators came (and from which they enjoy a huge amount of support).
That to me is more egregious than the stuffed octopus. So while people can debate whether or not this is an antisemitic dog whistle, she has used an antisemitic bullhorn right before our eyes.
Update: And what a sick joke to be supporting climate justice and the Gazans. They are some of the worst perpetrators when it comes to destroying the environment.
Update: Sums up my thoughts well:
I suppose she’s standing with Gaza having 200 hostages, firing rockets into Israel, harboring fugitives who massacred & raped 1400 innocent Jews, & refusing to allow civilians to evacuate a designated combat zone (created by Gaza itself).

Such a relief that the octopus is gone!
