In reply to the discussion: Greta Thunberg detained by Danish police at pro-Palestinian protest [View all]notroot
(217 posts)1. Not a good look, Greta.
I've always defended her climate activism, because she seemed committed to bringing much needed attention to this crucial issue that affects us all.
Now she's lost the moral high ground and I don't give AF any more. She's just another "student protester" who lacks the focus to advocate effectively on climate change.
Reminds me of how Occupy Wall St. fell apart because the protesters had zero plan and zero focus. They couldn't even decide why they were there.

"You'll notice no one is arming either side in Sudan" I highly doubt Sudan makes all their own weapons

Are we supposed to care about the percentage of the 40,000 that are Hamas terrorists?
