Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is the world’s second most dangerous antisemite, several spots ahead of white nationalist Nick Fuentes, according to a new report from the Israeli government.

The report contains an analysis of 10 “prominent influencers in the global anti-semitic and anti-Zionist arena in 2025, who were selected based on both the severity of their actions/statements and the scope of their influence.” While outside organizations have created similar rankings of antisemitic influencers, this appears to be the first one published by the Israeli government.

As evidence of Thunberg’s antisemitism, the Israeli government pointed to her use of “terms such as ‘genocide,’ ‘siege’ and ‘mass starvation’ in reference to Israel’s actions in Gaza.”

    As the world’s most antisemitic country on Earth currently engaging in an antisemitic genocide and occupation, Israel can get fucked.

    Israel, stop murdering Semites! For the love of god, or whatever you claim to believe in, what the actual fuck is wrong with you?

    Bundists here.

    It will never, EVER, be antisemitic to stand against genocide, it will never be antisemitic to put your live at risk to feed the hungry.

      Just curious as a language enthusiast, the verb fix in this language (hebrew?), is it like fixing a roof, fixing a table; Or is it like healing a patient?

        Tikun is more like “repair” you wouldn’t really use it for a patient. Olam means world. however in some expression it also sort of means eternity (le Olam vaed" means “for ever and ever”, but a direct translation would be “the world and beyond”, “le olam lo…” means “I’ve never…”) . I assume in biblical times it was the world for “everything” because they had no clue there are other planets.

        it’s weird

    Could it be because she is right and has science, logic, facts and common sense on her side? Which is very hard arguing against? I mean, one only has to look at Nazi Germany to see who the bad guys are here…

      Israel is reskinned Nazi Germany, so they’re in closer alignment with Fuentes ideologically. Their only source of disagreement is which race is the master race that has a right to rape and kill all other races for lebensraum.

      It’s also because she’s popular and has a large following. Her protests influence the thinking of a lot of people, and they can’t have that. She must be discredited.

        I mean ethnicities aren’t a choice so explaining power of categories like jews, muslims, and so on are limited. Even if all Germans were nazis, problem is obviously Nazism, not being german.

        My point is criticizing an ideology is nothing like attacking an ethnicity

          Being a Muslim is not an ethnicity, it’s a religion. Neither is being German, it’s a nationality. Despite the ideology around the maternal line, there are many different ethnicities among Jewish people in “Israel” alone. Many of which experience intense racism by white European Jews, often based on their skin color.

          Being a German during the Nazi rule came with the immense privilege of profiting from forced labor, stolen land, stolen resources, getting to live in or sell the houses of victims of the Holocaust, getting to go through their stuff and steal it and much more. Just being a German in Germany was very much morally problematic unless you take very concrete steps to reject this privilege. Migrating, resisting, hiding people, etc.

          It’s the same for white people now. Just being white is a huge privilege, that comes with the responsibility to reject that privilege and use it to help racialized people. The same goes for abled people, neurotypical people, cis people, people in imperial core countries and so on.

          Within any religion, there’s a contrast between institutions and personal believes. Being Jewish in today’s world comes with the privilege of being able to move to occupied Palestine, steal land, steal a house and the stuff in it, profit from cheap apartheid labor, etc. It’s a privilege to even just have this option, even if it is not used. This privilege has nothing to do with private believes, but it is actively and monetarily supported by many (not all) Jewish institutions. Being Jewish today therefore comes with the responsibility to reject those institutions (not the believes) and to build Jewish institutions, that do not aid genocide. That’s why it is a relevant category to speak of, but, as you said, not to criticize in general, as that would be antisemitic.

    Can we counteract/preempt these bullshit claims of antisemitism once and for all.

    Any protesters protesting against Israel, should (beforehand) cite that they are anti-war, anti-genocide, anti-famine causing, anti-fascist, anti-violence, anti-rape, anti-torture, anti-intentional targeting of civilians, anti-use of human shields, anti-breach of medical neutrality, anti-targeting of schools, anti-attacking civilian and protected objects, anti-targeting journalists, anti-incitement to genocide, anti-wanton destruction, anti-attacking of medical facilities, anti-pillage, anti-unequal justice (the list goes on)…

    If Israel are committing any or all of those crimes, then that’s on them, I’m just agreeing with the UN and any rational minded global bodies.

      A lot of people do but still get dragged because it’s not about clarity in messaging but in who controls the media, and that’s big capitalists who see the pro Palestinian movement as a threat

      Unfortunately, in every sense of the word, Israelis are “semites”. Being a “semite” isn’t a value judgement and trying to dismiss the label of antisemitism because of Israel’s misuse of the word is not that smart.

          They speak a semitic language and their supposed biblical stemfather is Shem. Those are the two definitions of a semitic people. Whether a large part of Israeli Jews have European ancestry is irrelevant to what a semite is.

          Again, semite isn’t a value judgement.
