Fed-Up Man Grabs Microphone from Greta Thunberg, Says He's Had Enough of Her 'Political View'

Share

Far-left climate activist Greta Thunberg peeved a man on her side of the discussion when she turned a Sunday rally into in the Netherlands an anti-Israel protest.

BBC News reported Thunberg was speaking at a climate event in Amsterdam when chants in support of Hamas broke out.

According to the outlet, the radical environmentalist was in support of the chants.

Not everyone agreed with her, however: A man came onto the stage and grabbed Thunberg’s microphone from her.

“The people in power have not been listening,” the 20-year-old could be heard saying when the man, wearing a green jacket, approached her and grabbed the microphone.

Thunberg attempted to keep it from him, but he was able to wield it long enough to get a statement out.

“I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view,” the man said.

Do you support Israel?

The video showed the man was surrounded by event organizers who ushered him off the stage. Many in the crowd booed him.

Protesters also began chanting “Let her speak!” before Thunberg got hold of the microphone again.

Many in attendance then began chanting anti-Israel statements, which she joined.

After reclaiming the stage, she chanted, “No climate justice on occupied land!”

Thunberg, who became famous as a teen mouthpiece for climate alarmism, has shown support for Palestinians in the weeks since Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, in an Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel.

On Oct. 20, she shared a post on X that called for “justice and freedom for Palestinians.” It included an image of her holding a sign that said: “STAND WITH GAZA.”

Other women in the photo each held signs with the slogans “FREE PALESTINE,” “THIS JEW STANDS WITH PALESTINE” and “CLIMATE JUSTICE NOW!”

A week later, Thunberg shared another image in which she was holding a sign that read, “JUSTICE FOR PALESTINE.”

The posts alienated some people who support her climate activism.

Thunberg has more than 5 million followers on X.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

What if you woke up one morning and half of the people you count on had just vanished overnight?

That happened to me recently. I got up, came to work here at The Western Journal, and when I got to my office, literally half of our readers had vanished. They were just gone. We had been nuked by Facebook, and it had happened almost instantly.

But it was even worse. Facebook hit us at the same time 90 percent of advertisers had essentially boycotted us. "Brutal" is a word I’ve used a lot lately.

The fight for the truth is brutal. The fight for America’s soul is brutal. What the government is doing to Jan. 6 detainees is brutal. What surgeons are doing to confused children is brutal.

It’s a fight we must win. But we can’t win without you.

A membership to The Western Journal will go much farther than you think. It costs less than a cup of Starbucks coffee, and for that small price you get access to ALL of our content news, commentary, and premium articles you’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight against leftism.

Can I count on you to join today? We need your help. Benjamin Franklin summed up the situation we're all facing when he said, “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

We plan to hang in and fight. Please help us. Please become a member today.

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
