Greta Thunberg has responded to Donald Trump's comments about her after being detained in Israel. The Swedish climate activist had been involved in a sail to Gaza to challenge Israel's blockade, but the boat was intercepted by Israeli forces. After being deported, Thunberg spoke out about her experiences.
When asked about Trump's remarks, where he suggested she needed "anger management," Thunberg fired back, saying, "I think the world needs a lot more young, angry women, to be honest, especially with everything going on right now."
The incident began when Thunberg and 11 other activists were part of a flotilla carrying emergency supplies to Palestine. However, Israeli forces intercepted the boat, with the Foreign Ministry referring to it as a "selfie yacht" carrying "celebrities," including Thunberg. The activist described the experience as an "illegal attack" and “kidnapping” by Israeli authorities.
Thunberg also expressed that the conditions she faced during detention were minor compared to the ongoing suffering in Gaza. She called out the blockade preventing humanitarian aid and condemned Israel's actions as violations of international rights.
With her unwavering stance on human rights and climate action, Greta Thunberg continues to spark conversation, calling for more activism, especially from young people.
