This is one of the most rhetoric-charged articles I've ever read. I'm almost in disbelief that any journalist outlet would publish pull-quotes like this:

> Indeed, since the orgy of violence visited upon Israel by Hamas on October 7, she has never expressed sympathy for the Jews murdered and molested by Hamas of her own accord.

> "When Greta Thunberg or other leading activists constantly speak about the Palestinian question, it creates disunity," Dam says. "I felt like I was being taken advantage of – as did many other participants."

> Volker Beck, president of the German-Israeli Society, says that her appearance in Amsterdam "marks the end of Greta Thunberg as a climate activist." In a post on the social media platform X, he wrote that she is "from now on, a full-time Israel hater."

> "[...] That isn't anti-Semitism, nor is it a playing down of the horrific terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas." Still, Riexinger is relatively alone with that viewpoint on the democratic segment of the German political spectrum.

> Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck of the Green Party produced a powerful video in which he urged his fellow citizens to shun anti-Semitism in all its forms, noting that Germany has a special responsibility. The establishment of the country of Israel after the Holocaust, Habeck noted, was a promise of security for Jews.

> Still, her case is symptomatic of the current fractures running through the left and raises important questions like: Where do the anti-Israeli attitudes of many on the left come from? Where is the climate movement going? What are the larger political consequences? [...] First, though: Who really is Greta Thunberg?

> Thunberg was diagnosed with Asperger's, highly functioning autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Asperger’s syndrome is associated with deficits in social communication and interaction.

> When her parents told her that she would make friends one day, she answered: "I don’t want to have a friend. Friends are children and all children are mean."

> Is she afraid of losing friends again? Does she long to continue to be recognized? Is that perhaps why she talks the way large swaths of the movement think, apart from the German branch? Is her own background getting in the way of her assessment of the political situation in the Middle East?

> Despite fears that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein could attack Israel with missiles carrying chemical weapons, many on the left refused to declare their solidarity with the country.

> "They say Zionism, but it’s against Jews. We are currently seeing anti-Semitism as we have never seen it before," says Mattsson. He and his colleagues describe it as structural anti-Semitism, because although it is not consciously expressed, it is still nonetheless clearly anti-Jewish at its core.

> Yes, criticism of Israel’s settlement policy, the current government and aspects of Israeli warfare are justified.

> But no, the accusation that Israel is acting like a colonial state is unjustified – because it negates the Holocaust and the fact that the people who sought a home in the terroritory of today’s Israel were the victims of it.

Like, good grief. I should hope no cause I ever support spends this much time tip-toeing around the hierarchy of disagreement. This is a nuanced topic that deserves honest discussion, which is why it's a tragedy when articles like this get promoted in good-faith. This is a ridiculous account of the situation at-hand.

Legitimately, I'm dumbfounded. Stuff like this needs to be preserved on the Wayback Machine so propagandists don't get mixed up with news outlets.
