They say she is using ‘the climate movement to throw her support behind the Palestinians’. Well, good on her.

If there was a word for “genius” but for being a good person instead of smart, she would be that.

Her words are like Sophie Scholls, but I really wish a bit more consequential in the present time.

The machines working against her are just so vast.

Greta did the climate movement a massive favor. Their words would have sounded very hollow if they decoupled other important issues. It would signal we only care about humanitarian catastrophes when they affect us.

This article is mostly ‘cheering’ for Greta’s stance on Palestine rather than climate. Besides, it’s written by a Canadian journalist.

They can cheer for whomever they wish. What you do mean much more than what people think of you.

I’m not sure this really applies here. She puts a lot of hard work and effort into spreading her message.
