Greta Thunberg Detained by Danish Police During Gaza War Protest

[Social Media]

 

Danish police detained climate activist Greta Thunberg on Wednesday during a protest in Copenhagen against the ongoing war in Gaza. The demonstration, organized by a student group, took place at Copenhagen University, where Thunberg and other protesters aimed to raise awareness and express their opposition to the conflict.

 

 

The protest led to the apprehension of six individuals after a group of around 20 people blocked the entrance to a university building, with three of them reportedly entering the premises. A police spokesperson confirmed the detentions but did not disclose the identities of those arrested. However, a spokesperson for the Students Against the Occupation, the group behind the demonstration, confirmed to Reuters that Thunberg was among those detained.

 

 

A photograph published by the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet showed Thunberg, who has become a global symbol of youth activism, reportedly wearing handcuffs during the arrest. The image quickly circulated online, drawing attention to her involvement in the protest and the actions taken by Danish authorities.

 

Thunberg's participation in the protest underscores her ongoing commitment to activism, extending beyond climate issues to include human rights and social justice. The protest in Copenhagen was part of a broader series of demonstrations across the world, as activists and concerned citizens voice their opposition to the violence and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

 

The detainment of Thunberg has sparked further discussions about the role of youth activists in global movements and the responses they face from authorities. As the situation in Gaza continues to escalate, protests like the one in Copenhagen are likely to persist, with activists such as Thunberg remaining at the forefront of calls for peace and justice.

She’s a cheeky lass gotta say I admire her passion tho I don’t agree with her sticking up for hammas .all of those criminals need to be hunted down and killed,not only for what they did to the Israelis but for the horror they brought on the civilians of Gaza.

[Somjot]

The civilians in Gaza were murdered by Israeli bullets and bombs, not by Hammas.

The reason the civilians are dying by Israeli weapons is because hammas is using them as human shields.Netanyahu made the brutal choice of not playing the usual hostages/human shield game.hes apparently not negotiating and just seems to be focusing on killing hammas.its a brutal calculation I certainly don’t condone it it’s a horror show brought on by the actions of hammas.

Serial offending Oiks like Thunberg really need punishment, not to have their identities protected. 

 

No surprise she sides with Hamas.

Hamas were the murderers! They put the civilians in the way of the bullets and bombs.

Considering the dense population of Gaza, Israel has been careful to kill reatively  few civilians. No other army has managed to kill so few in similar circumstances.

Don't remember her protesting about the murder of 1200 mainly civilians by the Palestinians. Nor the rape, burning alive and mutilations!

No that was over in about 10 hours, before anyone could organize a protest.

 

The slaughter of the women and children and the destruction of homes, schools and hospitals has been going on for 11 months and continuing daily.

Big difference you see.

 

I object to it also. The Israeli soldiers are complete cowards, if they were brave like me they would go in and remove the Hamas fighters and leave the children alone. 

[blazes]

The little fatty is obviously profiting from all her protest earnings.

 

Pity she got arrested and thus gave her what she craves: publicity.

40.000 killed in 9 months, over100,000 injured, nearly 1 million made homeless, starvation among the Palestinians, no food distribution, no medical supplies, over 100 journalists killed, and you think that is relatively few?

 

From the BBC news website this morning about the West Bank.

A funeral has been held for a 16-year-old Palestinian girl reportedly killed by Israeli forces in the north of the occupied West Bank on the seventh day of a wide-scale Israeli operation.
Lujain Musleh’s father said she was shot in the head as she looked out of a window of her home in Kafr Dan, just outside Jenin, after soldiers surrounded a neighbouring house on Tuesday.
The Israeli military said armed fighters fired at the soldiers and that they “fired back at a suspect who observed” them.

 

Murdered for looking out of a window.

Blaming one side for atrocities worse that the other or comparing atrocities by one side or the other is inane and just fuels the conflict.

 

It's just like 2 little kids fighting. " oh, he hit me first". "Yes, but then he hit me harder". " but he kicked me".....and on and on.

 

It's a conflict. There are two sides involved. They are both wrong and both need to be stopped.

I agree, This has been going on since 1948 and ignored by the world until last year. Now they are talking about it, but still doing nothing, meanwhile every day Palestinians are dying, Israelis are stealing Palestinian homes and land and being ignored,

 

Can YOU come up up with a workable plan to stop it?

It's quite simple. Everyone, including the government's of the world, stop taking sides. Intervene and sort it out.

 

You are guilty of taking sides. Your post only mentioned wrongs by Isreal. By doing that, you are fueling the situation. You blame Isreal then someone else blames Hamas.

 

All the arguing and p%$sing in the wind that follows, certainly isn’t going to sort anything out.

She was arrested because she was protesting against the war in Gaza and against the  occupation.

 

And she did that at the university of Copenhagen because they were continuing their cooperation with academic institutes Israel.

 

Please stop these false conclusions, which are repeated again and again to brainwash people.

 

Being against war, against the slaughter of civilians, against the burning alive of children, against the intentional targeting of children, journalists, doctors and members of health organizations does not mean you are HAMMAS.

 

It just shows you are HUMAN.

 

Being against occupation of land and killing its owners, does not prove, that you are HAMMAS

 

It just proves, that you have a HEART.

This is simply not true.

The reason they're dying is because the IDF is flattening their country and killing everyone living there, 2/3 of them being women and children, while at the same time the Palestinians have no place to go.

Would he make the same choice if his parents or his children would be held hostage in Gaza?

Would you?

This was never about freeing the hostages.

I don't know if you've heard about the Hannibal directive: if a IDF soldier sees an Israeli being taken hostage by a Hamas member, he has to shoot them both.

According to your “legal logic”:

 

If a huge guy grabs a girl by the pussy and she slaps him and in return the guy rapes her and breaks all her bones, the girl is to blame for her broken bones?

 

If she wouldn't have slapped him, she would never have ended up in coma.

 

Right?

 

I mean sure, it wasn't a good idea to slap that big guy.

 

But I guess we both know, who belongs into jail.

 

7th October was a horrible act of terrorism.

No question.

But the response of Israel … sorry but I just don't see the proportionality.
