The ABC Blows ‘Colon Gas’ for Greta

If you’re wondering how Greta Thunberg is getting along these days, the now 21-year-old is busy demonstrating about Israel’s alleged “genocide”, and chanting “Crush Zionism!” outside Israel’s embassy in Stockholm. As Sky News’ Rita Panahi puts it, the ‘miserable little doom goblin’ is now a Middle East expert.
Try checking back on the ABC’s five-year worship of the Swedish school truant. It’s a case study in how the taxpayer-funded propaganda machine flouts the impartiality demanded by its Charter. Here’s some latterday Thunberg activism[1]:
In Leipzig last January she addressed a pro-Palestine demo, telling the crowd that no-one should stay silent “when a genocide is underway and people are being deprived [by whom?] of the most basic human needs.” While the press reports are sketchy, they don’t mention her condemning the Hamas butchery of October 7, hostage-taking or the Hamas human-shields strategy.[2]
Of some interest is what happened to a Leipzig TV reporter and his assistant covering the demo. They were “massively harassed by stewards and demonstrators from the anti-Israel demonstration” and followed as they tried to leave. Pursued to a tram stop, the pair were “first verbally attacked by three demonstrators in Palestine garb, including a steward,and then brutally beaten”. When the journalist fell, assailants kicked his head. Both crew were hospitalised with head injuries. Their TV station manager condemned the attack, and wished the pair speedy recovery. No arrests were reported.
