German Politician Calls for Ban on Greta Thunberg Over Pro-Palestinian Protest Involvement

Greta Thunberg is facing calls for her to be banned from entering Germany amid a decision by local police to classify her as a “violent participant” in political demonstrations.

 

Senior Christian Democratic Union (CDU) politician Alexander Throm is leading the calls for the climate activist to be forbidden from entering the country, citing her involvement in contentious protests against Israel.

 

Germany's largest opposition party, urged authorities to take action against Thunberg after she attended a protest in Berlin and was invited to a similar event in Dortmund. Throm told BILD newspaper, "It would be not only appropriate but even necessary that the Federal Minister of the Interior issues an entry ban against this anti-Semite in the future."

 

Throm accused the 21-year-old Swedish activist of inciting hatred against Israel, saying, "Anyone who enters Germany to incite hatred against Israel and denigrate our police has no place in Germany." The CDU politician's remarks followed Thunberg’s involvement in recent protests supporting the Palestinian cause.

 

Thunberg had accepted an invitation to a pro-Palestinian protest camp organized at the University of Dortmund. However, the event was swiftly canceled after authorities expressed concerns that her presence would attract a larger crowd than initially expected. German police ordered the event to be dismantled, prompting Thunberg to respond with a video on Instagram, where she criticized the German authorities for "silencing activists." Wearing a traditional Palestinian keffiyeh, she stated, "Germany threatens them (activists) when they speak out against the genocide and occupation in Palestine."

The event organizers took to social media to condemn the cancellation, claiming it was unjust and announcing their intention to file an appeal. According to them, they were given little time to disassemble the protest camp after the police intervened.

 

Earlier in the week, Thunberg attended another pro-Palestinian protest in Berlin, marking the anniversary of the October 7 attacks. The protest saw tensions rise, with four demonstrators being detained after they set off pyrotechnics and burned car tires. Thunberg expressed her disapproval of the police's actions on social media, stating that she "didn't have words" to describe how the German police handled what she referred to as "peaceful protesters."

 

Thunberg’s involvement in pro-Palestinian protests has led to several confrontations with law enforcement. In early September, she was forcibly removed by police during a demonstration in Stockholm. More recently, Thunberg was detained by Belgian authorities after participating in a protest against European Union subsidies for fossil fuels.

As the debate surrounding Thunberg’s activism continues, the call for her to be banned from Germany adds to the growing tension over her participation in politically charged demonstrations.

Yes, Greta, strange person, should be banned.

 

Also introduce a law allowing people to run over those far left protestors (Greta's friends) blocking roadways. 

People need to get to work to earn a wage to feed their families.
