Thunberg blasts Harris on Gaza

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Friday labelled Donald Trump the "more dangerous" option in next week's US presidential election but slammed the incumbent administration for its support of Israel.

With the United States heading to the polls on November 5, the 21-year-old activist said in a post on X that it was "probably impossible to overestimate the consequences this specific election will have for the world and for the future of humanity".

"There is no doubt that one of the candidates -- Trump -- is way more dangerous than the other," Thunberg said.

But she also slammed sitting President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris -- who is running against former president Donald Trump -- for their backing of Israel and its offensive in Gaza. "Let's not forget that the genocide in Palestine is happening under the Biden and Harris administration, with American money and complicity," Thunberg said.

"It is not in any way 'feminist', 'progressive' or 'humanitarian' to bomb innocent children and civilians -- it is the opposite, even if it is a woman in charge."
