Greta Thunberg gave stage to activist who supported October 7 terror

In one clip, she discussed an incident in April this year when Israeli riot police fired stun grenades and tear gas into Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. She claimed that Israeli soldiers “gassed” Palestinians, adding: “I wonder where we’ve seen that before?”

In another social media post on October 12, Rachdan celebrated Palestinian terrorist and plane hijacker Leila Khaled. “Thank you for continually inspiring us to resist,” she said. Khaled took part in two plane hijackings - in 1969 and 1970 - and has since become a Palestinian icon.

A group of 100 environmental activists in Israel wrote an open letter to Thunberg last month after the climate activist wrote a series of social media posts expressing “solidarity with Palestine and Gaza.”

The signatories wrote that Thunberg’s tweets and posts on the matter were “appallingly one-sided, ill-informed, superficial and are in complete contrast to your ability to deep dive into details and get to the bottom of complex issues.”

“Do you think Hamas represents human rights and freedom? Think again!” the letter read.

There is no suggestion that Thunberg has expressed the views espoused by Rachdan.

Both Thunberg and Rachdan were approached for comment.
