    I will say one thing though:

    It does feel like this is entirely unsurprising.

    Israel have been doing everything in their power to prove they are straight up cartoon villains

    And as for Thunberg? Much as as I admire her, it was a matter of time before her speaking truth to power resulted in something like this. If it hadn’t been Israel it would have been the Putin or Trump regimes.

    But who knows, maybe now that it’s a white chick getting warcrimed, the bulk of first worlders might maybe possibly start giving a shit about this.

      I doubt she’s surprised either. She knew something like this would happen, but her audience is people who would be surprised.
