Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Monday appropriated slogans and imagery used by Israeli hostage families to call for the freedom of Palestinian terrorists imprisoned in the Jewish state.
“Host your own demonstrations near Israeli embassies across the world… Demand the release of Palestinian hostages!” the controversial left-wing activist wrote on her Facebook page.
“Bring them home!” concluded Thunberg’s social media post, which contained a video clip of a pro-Palestinian rally outside the Israeli embassy in Sweden calling for the release of all 9,500 Palestinian “hostages” held in “concentration camps” in the Jewish state.
The data cited in the video referred to all Palestinian terrorists, unlawful combatants and other security prisoners held lawfully in Israeli prisons.
The video shared by Thunberg also featured a red ribbon, similar to the yellow ribbon used in Israel to raise awareness regarding the hostages being held by terrorist groups in Gaza.
