The young and controversial climate activist, Greta Thunberg, in week 270 of her well-known 'school strikes', has called for a “ceasefire” on her social network X, formerly Twitter, for the conflict that is being experienced in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas.

Greta Thunberg ha tenido que recortar la foto inicial que acompañaba a su publicación minutos después de subirla ya que, en ella, se podía ver un pulpo azul, símbolo interpretado por algunos como antisemita.

The activist has responded to the criticism she was receiving by clarifying that she was “completely unaware” that the stuffed animal shown could be interpreted as a “symbol of anti-Semitism” and that the toy is nothing more than “a tool that autistic people often use.” use as a way to communicate feelings.

“Of course, we are against any type of discrimination and we condemn anti-Semitism in all its forms. This is not negotiable. Por eso eliminé la última publicación” apuntaba la joven sueca. 

The group of activists' open support for the Palestinian cause has provoked a wave of reproaches and bad reactions also on the social network X, formerly Twitter, where some users have accused it of “supporting the terrorist group ISIS.”
