Man grabs Greta Thunberg's microphone after pro-Palestinian address at climate rally

I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view

What he really means is that he only wants to hear about one slice of a political view, or he doesn't understand that climate change is a political subject too.

I don't think this was a smart Move to mix these two issues. Israel & Palestine are so extremely polarizing and mixing this with climate might divide the People and weaken the fight for a green future. For example I would rather avoid that topic. I don't know enough about Palestine/Israel to publicly debate it. And if my climate-rally somehow turns to pro Palestine or pro Israel I would rather abstain from visiting it. Because I dont have a solid View on this topic. And I think I might not be alone with this feeling.

She's never been afraid to speak her mind. How do we address the issue of climate change, if we turn a blind eye to the suffering of innocent people and children done intentionally for vengeance's sake?

The linked article even fails to mention what exactly was "pro Palestinian" in the address - there's zero quotes. Shitty journalism.

Also, you can be "pro Palestinian" without being "anti Israel" - although a lot of shit-for-brains populists try to deny that these days.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Greta Thunberg was interrupted as she addressed a climate protest in Amsterdam on Sunday after inviting a Palestinian and an Afghan woman on stage.

The Swedish activist was speaking to a crowd of tens of thousands in the Dutch capital before the country heads to the polls in a general election next week.

Earlier proceedings had been interrupted as a small group of activists at the front of the crowd waved Palestinian flags and chanted pro-Palestinian slogans.

The speeches on stage were the culmination of a mass protest that saw tens of thousands of people march through the streets of Amsterdam, urging for more action to tackle climate change.

Political leaders including former European Union climate chief Frans Timmermans, who now leads a centre-left, two-party bloc in the election campaign, later addressed the crowd in a square behind the landmark Rijksmuseum.

Event organiser, the Climate Crisis Coalition, said in a statement: "We live in a time of crises, all of which are the result of the political choices that have been made.

The original article contains 507 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Good job by Greta by addressing the elephant in the room first. Nobody is going to take the moral police seriously while the west is supporting genocide. Any climate change protest already comes off as massive virtue signaling right now.

The entire point of preventing climate change is so humanity can continue to exist. The earth can exist without us. If we're gonna start a third world War right now you can forget about the 2050 stuff.

Muddling up these two issues is so very stupid ... just keep the climate message on climate, how fucking hard is that?

She needs better security to deal with unhinged people.

It does seem, the world over, that wholesale displacement or extermination of Muslims is what a majority of people want. Why else is the Palestinian/Hamas line so regularly blurred by mainstream media the world over? Between Gaza, Xinjiang, North America, and Europe, there's so much goddamn Islamophobia.

Both hamas and israel are commiting big no nos against each other. It's very hard to even pick a side at this point because both have valid arguments and none are innocent.

what's this got to do with climate change?

Fuckin bitch
