Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg is facing criticism after posting and deleting a tweet expressing support for Palestine. The tweet, which included an alleged antisemitic symbol, drew pushback from various individuals and organizations. Thunberg claimed she was unaware of the symbolism. Critics accused her of 'West-splaining' and urged her to stay focused on climate change rather than supporting terrorism. The controversy sparked a heated online discourse, with Israel's official social media account targeting Thunberg. Environmentalists in Israel also condemned her statement. Despite the backlash, Thunberg received support from some individuals who praised her stance. The incident highlights the challenges activists face when engaging in political issues beyond their core focus.
