Young climate activist Greta Thunberg faced heavy backlash after sharing a now-deleted photo of a starved Israeli hostage in a Tuesday post about how badly Israel treats its prisoners of war, according to screenshots online.
The collaboratively created Instagram post was supposed to speak to the “uncomfortable truth” of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli custody. It comes after Israel intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla, an international effort to break the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, leading to Thunberg and others being taken into Israeli custody.

“The suffering of Palestinian prisoners is not a matter of opinion — it is a fact of cruelty and dehumanization. Humanity cannot be selective. Justice cannot have borders,” the now-deleted slide of the post reads, depicting a still of Evyatar David’s starved body. It was taken from a hostage video in which David was being forced to dig his own grave, according to PBS.
The activists posted the photo two years after David was captured during Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians.
If you needed further proof that Greta Thunberg is a terrorist mouthpiece who has no clue what’s talking about – she posted this image meant to show Palestinian suffering – and instead shows one of the starved Israeli hostages – Evyatar David pic.twitter.com/z82xKWrgd6
