“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,”
Why do you comment something without reading the article? This is a quote from someone explaining what they saw, not the reporter describing her like that.
I thought that it was a bit odd wording too based on the quote alone, implying that Greta was some fragile small thing everyone should protect instead of brave young woman that she is. But then I read the article and in context it makes sense, that’s something I might say too in the same situation.
Well that would likely be even more biased. Yes, it would be good to get a statement from Israel. But just because we can’t get unbiased info doesn’t mean we should believe everything.
Oh, so there was another Greta on the boat who was bigger, and they just used big/little to distinguish?
Or were they trying to imply Greta is physically weak, or fits in small places? Wft does is make a difference if she’s ‘little’? Torturing anyone is bad. I’d say it’s especially bad to torture a child; which is what the quote was trying to imply.

Where is the original from?
This. Just dropping a quote without a source?
Edit: it is from just that article
Le Chat claims that it is from here, said by Ersin Celik. --> https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/great-thunberg-mistreated-detention-israel-gaza-aid-flotilla-activists-deported-2797928-2025-10-05

Yeah exactly, “making her hold flags”.
:/
Of course this isn’t acceptable. But it’s hardly a balanced report. For instance, she’s 22 - hardly a little girl.
she is physically a small person
22 is young, my dude. Isn’t that the tragedy we’re meant to learn from 2 world wars, that war is a meat grinder for the young?
Yes, wars are horrible.

Of course. And that’s the main source the reporter is using, so it’s relevant.
What other source did you want? IDF soldiers explaining how they did nothing to her at all and she deserved every bit of it.

The description is of her size, not her age.

Surely you are not this dense
Please don’t call me Shirley.
This quote says little Greta, not little girl.
Your comment got -70 downvotes but this dude essentially said the same thing with majority agreeing him with +200 upvotes. Lemmy, pick a side already, sheesh.
Funny. I can handle downvotes! Do they even get tallied somewhere on Lenny?
