The spokesman of the IDF everybody!

[AntivaxHunters]

Just another conservative dickhead.

And nobody should be amplifying anyone who celebrated the Hamas attacks but this is ridiculous.

The Israeli military lashed out at Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Friday, after she sent a message supporting Palestinians and endorsed a comment which said a "genocide" was being perpetrated in Gaza.

Thunberg said “the world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected,” as the Israel-Hamas war escalates and threatens to become a regional conflict.

Thunberg also shared on her Instagram account a post by a German-based pro-Palestinian account which says a “genocide” is happening in Gaza.

The group, Palestine Speaks — which celebrated Hamas' lethal assault on Israel two weeks ago — talked of its "indignation against genocide in Gaza and the repressive state terror of many Western states against anyone who shows and acts in solidarity with the Palestinians.”

1. Dear

Lord

[thomski64]

6. ..the Dept of Redundancy Dept.

..finds "conservative dickhead" in violation....

[Chainfire]

2. Greta is a clear and present danger to Israel....

[AntivaxHunters]

3. Ya conservatives are always attacking her

From Jordan Petersen to Ron DeSantis.
Right wingers hate her more than anyone on the planet.

[Disaffected]

4. As Ms. Thunberg might say:

"Blah, blah, blah".

5. Your selective editing is interesting and of course leaves out important details that

you choose not to directly mention in the OP, specifically that he was NOT speaking on behalf of the IDF, but was expressing his personal views. That omission in the OP I suspect was intentional.



“Arye Sharuz Shalicar later apologized for his remarks about Thunberg supporters and said, "I spoke out of a deep sense of pain and my words do not reflect my personal views or those of the IDF."

Thunberg herself also issued an updated statement. "We are of course against any type of discrimination, and condemn antisemitism in all forms and shapes. This is non-negotiable," she said.”

but of course not directly mentioning that in the OP had a purpose I suspect

[AntivaxHunters]

10. The fact he even said this is quite revealing

And that's the point.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Israel is a fascist government run by a guy who's facing several corruption charges & took away much of the the power of the courts. Dissent will literally land you in jail & your personal possessions seized.

Gee, that sounds pretty familiar doesn't it?

18. Israel is still a Democracy. Netanyahu's attempt to overhaul the judicial system was facing its first legal

challenge in the Israeli Supreme Court before the Hamas attacks. In addition, the latest polls before the Hamas attack indicated that Netanyahu is in political trouble, and Gantz is their preferred prime minister by a margin of almost 2 to 1, and would gain the majority of seats in the Knesset, or parliament,

The Hamas attack will not help him either, and when the situation is stabilized, there will be a vote of no confidence, and he will lose.

22. What's the

difference. How someone so stupid and prejudiced can even be chosen spokesman for the IDF says it all

[Goddessartist]

23. Exactly.

7. "nobody should be amplifying anyone who celebrated the Hamas attacks"

Which is what she did, shared a post from Palestine Speaks...

It was wrong.

Thunberg herself also issued an updated statement. "We are of course against any type of discrimination, and condemn antisemitism in all forms and shapes. This is non-negotiable," she said.

Also the IDF spokesman

Arye Sharuz Shalicar later apologized for his remarks about Thunberg supporters and said, "I spoke out of a deep sense of pain and my words do not reflect my personal views or those of the IDF." 

A question however- do you believe all of the IDF are "conservative dickheads"?

[JohnSJ]

9. Thank-you for putting in the full context.

[AntivaxHunters]

11. Generally speaking

A leader of a country tends to pick people who align with their views, right? Right.

[sarisataka]

13. I'll take that as a yes.

Since Netanyahu no more picks very member of the IDF than Biden does the US Army.

Same for random spokesmen from said groups.

[AntivaxHunters]

15. Funny thing

[sarisataka]

17. Still seems like your answer is yes nt

[JohnSJ]

19. John Kirby is Assistant to the Secretary of Defense. What is your point?

[JohnSJ]

8. This person was NOT speaking on behalf of the IDF. One needs to read the link to see that this was his

personal views, and he was not speaking on behalf of the IDF. That information was clearly left out of the OP, and one would need to go into the article to see the full context, which is the following:

“Arye Sharuz Shalicar later apologized for his remarks about Thunberg supporters and said, "I spoke out of a deep sense of pain and my words do not reflect my personal views or those of the IDF."

Thunberg herself also issued an updated statement. "We are of course against any type of discrimination, and condemn antisemitism in all forms and shapes. This is non-negotiable," she said.”

[AntivaxHunters]

14. He is the spokesman for the IDF

So are we now not holding people accountable for what they say? He is the head of the IDF. He speaks for them literally. He's a public figure.

[JohnSJ]

20. but he was not speaking on behalf of the IDF. Politico screwed that up also. He was expressing his

personal views.

Public figures can express their personal views also.

[stopdiggin]

12. Greta is not a terrorist

And Greta probably ought to be a little more careful in 're-posting' from sources that showed approval of the Hamas attack (although that is not always apparent in a feed 3 weeks on).

And the word 'genocide' is being used fairly liberally these days. That's probably not helpful.

It's also probably somewhat relevant that both statements have been walked back by now

[David__77]

16. Spokespeople of governments headed by fascist racists will say bad stuff.

Thankfully it does not represent all the people.

[JohnSJ]

21. and he wasn't speaking on behalf of the IDF, but his personal views.

“Arye Sharuz Shalicar later apologized for his remarks about Thunberg supporters and said, "I spoke out of a deep sense of pain and my words do not reflect my personal views or those of the IDF."

Thunberg herself also issued an updated statement. "We are of course against any type of discrimination, and condemn antisemitism in all forms and shapes. This is non-negotiable," she said.”
