Climate activist Greta Thunberg is following her conscience and taking part in a flotilla to “break Israel’s siege” of Gaza, but Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) decided he’d prove what a heartless douchebag he is by attacking her.
The Guardian reports the flotilla headed out for Gaza over the weekend.
“The sailing boat Madleen – operated by the activist group Freedom Flotilla Coalition – departed from the port of Catania in Sicily, southern Italy, on Sunday.
It would try to reach the shores of the Gaza Strip to bring in some aid and raise “international awareness” of the continuing humanitarian crisis, the activists said at a press conference on Sunday, before the vessel departed.”
“’We are doing this because, no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying,’ Thunberg said, bursting into tears during her speech.”
“’Because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity. And, no matter how dangerous this mission is, it’s not even near as dangerous as the silence of the entire world in the face of the livestreamed genocide.’”
This led Graham to post a hateful rebuke of Thunberg on social media.
So a U.S. senator is now endorsing the idea of Israel sinking a boat carrying people who want to aid the plight of starving children in Gaza? Is that the sort of thing a member of the Senate should be posting online? It’s sick and heartless, much like the soulless sack of shit who wrote it.
Graham was immediately hit with a furious backlash.
