Swedish climate and human rights activist Greta Thunberg departed Israel on a flight to France after being detained by Israeli forces aboard an aid ship bound for Gaza.
This. While those deaths were notable and tragic, they weren’t “celebrity deaths”, which pains me to even say, but it is true.
Greta is essentially an international celebrity at this point, not just some noteworthy activist. Her death would be much more noticeable throughout the modern zeitgeist than a random activist who happened to be American.
Probably because they dont want to turn her into a martyr…
Alternatively its because killing a white western girl with a recognisable name is more difficult to justify over here and they are VERY aware of this
I truly believe that they were ready to murder her before they saw the reaction she was getting and realized it would have backfired tremendously.
See guys Isreal’s above something as terrible as killing a white person
No but in all seriousness I think they were ready to kill her before they saw how popular she is
Not in general. Something deterred them here - probably the public scrutiny.
I think what you responded to was sarcasm
fuck that sent me

Yup. The only reason Greta isn’t dead or held captive is because of her celebrity status.
If she was just another no-name activist, she wouldn’t be on that plane to Paris.
Touché

Another reason would probably be she’s too old for IDF scumbags, murdering any child above 12 yo doesn’t do it for them.
I figured it was a North Korea / Blazing Saddles move.
There are plenty of right-wingers in the west (including several politicians) who would love to see her
unalived.killed.Killed. The word you’re looking for is “killed”.
This isn’t tiktok, we can use big boy language here.
Sorry. I didn’t wanna risk getting banned. But then this isn’t Reddit, either so I’m probably safe. I’ll fix it.
