Ever since Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack and Israel’s counteroffensive, prominent climate activist groups such as Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil, and Fridays for Future have led anti-Israel protests, attempting to align the Palestinian cause with the global climate cause. But this messaging is deeply flawed, and as a 24-year-old Jewish climate commentator, I fear it could seriously divide and impede the climate movement.
My heart breaks for the thousands of innocent Gazans and Israelis who have been killed and the hundreds of Israeli hostages still in captivity. I believe both sides’ governments stoked tensions, failed their constituents, and need new peace-oriented leadership. I also believe Israel is our native homeland as Jews, has the right to exist, and is the most special place on Earth. And when Greta Thunberg leads “crush Zionism” chants at climate rallies, and protesters disrupt the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade shouting “liberation for Palestine and planet,” I worry the climate movement now blindly opposes Israel, and anyone like me who has a more nuanced perspective.

“I believe both sides’ governments stoked tensions...”
I don’t.
“Climate” movement has nothing to do with climate just like most Leftist labels are used to mislead and obfuscate.
The Left is about ONE objective: Worldwide Totalitarian Government. The spirit of antichrist drives the Left, so of course under whatever lying label they use, they will go against Israel and America.
Climate movement renamed flat earth nuts
Need another 15 minutes. It’s been a few days.
Yup, rent a mobs going to the highest bidder.
As you stated the climate movement has nothing to do with climate. The Garza issue is not the issue either, the revolution is the only issue. All issue are subordinate to the revolution. There is nothing the left won't do for the revolution even eat their own turds.
Welcome to the party suckers.
Talk about “nuanced”——
RE: “And when Greta Thunberg leads “crush Zionism” chants at climate rallies, and protesters disrupt the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade shouting “liberation for Palestine and planet,” I worry the climate movement now blindly opposes Israel, and anyone like me who has a more nuanced perspective.”
Once they could have said like newspaper empire millionaire William Randolph Hearst that Hitler’s Mein Kampf was set of “sribblings on paper” and he represented a brighter future for Germany.
Foreign Affairs April 19, 2022 article “The Newspaper Axis: Six Press Barons Who Enabled Hitler” includes “the role played by Western media moguls in whitewashing Adolf Hitler’s actions and calling for appeasement.”
If, God forbid, the Jews in the State of Israel are dead someday, will Greta and others reconsider today’s misjudgments? Who knows?
Climate Emergency IS Marxism.
NO SUCH THING AS AN “INNOCENT GAZAN”.
The ‘climate movement’ has always been about left wing politics...it’s where communism went when the USSR assumed its’ position on the ash heap of history.
Follow The Money
The “Climate Movement” is another false flag op like BLM to keep the same herd of stupid, naive and gullible white people financing and pushing the WOKE leftist agenda.
This is where the real insurrection is taking place.
Intersectionality at work. The fundamental cause is Marxism and the destruction of Western Civilization & Capitalism.
Everything else is window dressing.

Jews have been expelled from the “Friend coalition” of the Left. Hamas / Palestinians are a core group of the Left.
Everyone in the Left, from climate to PETA to LGBT is going to have to take the pro-Palestinian position.
Being part of the Friend coalition means supporting every part of the coalition - and jews / Israel are now OUT.
Anything that divides and impedes the insane “climate movement” is a very good thing.
Whatever hurts the “climate” racket is great with me!

The author is the textbook definition of “useful idiot.”
L
19. Re the author is an “useful idiot”.
Part John Lennon’s “I’m a dreamer”, part blind to the reality of a “United Islamofascism and Marxism” axis of evil, and part clueless. I feel sorry for him.
