”I came here for climate demonstration. Not for a political view” were the words of the man who interrupted Greta Thunberg during one of the climate demonstrations recently. Greta who had joined the demonstration took this opportunity to voice support for “international solidarity” and Palestine.
Wrong place for politics maybe?
While many supporters were present at the event, they were all cheering for the climate control agenda and to make difference in this space. Bringing in a political view and support of any other causes while the people have gathered for a climate cause felt very inappropriate and the users all over are reacting with angry posts condemning this.
While it is important that all the issues are important in the world, misusing an opportunity on a platform meant for climate cause by Greta looked very bad on her diligence.
Many users started posting comments and questions on the actions of Greta Thunberg and anti Palestine posts on the platform X. Some are very graphical in nature and user discretion is advised.
The case of controversy
This is not the first time Greta has pulled these kind of stunts and landed in a controversy. She has been “giving” opinions for some time and many users on the platform started posting ones with their opinions on how bizarre those ideas feel to them. Like the “vegan grenades” tweet.
Another user shared a post of deleted tweets from Greta.
Media response and criticism.
While people are angry and supporters and anti-supporters rally their cause, reporting on the incident has been varying on the perspective of the media reporting it. One of the users pointed out a tweet from Associated Press in a a screenshot on the start difference in reporting of the incident as simple as “interruption” at climate march.
