Greta Thunberg slammed for sharing image of Israeli hostage in post on Palestinian prisoners [View all]
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is facing backlash after a controversial Instagram post shared in collaboration with a pro-Palestinian activist featured an image of Israeli hostage Evyatar David, held by Hamas in Gaza.
The post, published Monday by Yasmin Aker — a participant in the “Sumud” flotilla to Gaza — was shared jointly with Thunberg through Instagram’s “Collaboration” feature, which posts the same content to both users' accounts. Thunberg, who has over 16 million followers, did not remove the post as of Tuesday.
The post described the "suffering of Palestinian prisoners" as “not a matter of opinion – it is a fact of cruelty and dehumanization,” adding, “Humanity cannot be selective. Justice cannot have borders.” Among the images included was a photo of 24-year-old Israeli hostage Evyatar David, appearing severely malnourished in what is believed to be a Hamas tunnel. The image was taken from a propaganda video released by Hamas in late July.
