Climate activist Greta Thunberg was filmed giggling as she declared “f–k Germany” and “f–k Israel” at an anti-Israel rally in Germany Friday, video shows.
The 21-year-old appeared as a speaker at the demonstration in the southwestern German city of Mannheim, which included a discussion focused on “solidarity with Palestine and the climate movement.”
“F–k Germany,” Thunberg says in the clip, before bursting into laughter. “And f–k Israel,” she adds to rapturous applause and whistling from the crowd.
A city spokesperson told German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur that 700 protesters attended the rally, which they described as peaceful.
Thunberg, however, has faced fierce backlash for the comments since the clip was shared on social media.
Manuel Hagel, a conservative leader in a regional parliament, slammed the inflammatory language, the Jerusalem Post reported.
“Mannheim does not need a platform for such dehumanizing positions and our country does not need the presence of people like Greta Thunberg,” Hagel seethed, according to the outlet.
Advocacy group StopAntisemitism blasted the young activist as a “Hamas shill” in a post that had been viewed more than 70,000 times on X early Monday afternoon.
“Climate activist turned Hamas shill Greta Thunberg has made her stance crystal clear… someone should remind Greta that Israel is a global leader in solving climate challenges,” the group wrote.
A slew of Jewish state supporters also took to X to ask, “Why has she ever been relevant?” and called the incident “nasty.”
“She’s lost the plot entirely,” one critic declared.
This wouldn’t be the first time Thunberg has come under fire for hateful comments. The climate activist was named “Antisemite of the Week” by StopAntisemitism following her arrest at a rally in September — and is in the running for the group’s “Antisemite of the Year.”
Thunberg was arrested on Sept. 4 while protesting with the group Students Against the Occupation, which called on Copenhagen University to cease all connections with Israel, including putting an end to several cross-university student programs.
She posted a photo of herself holding a sign reading “Stand with Gaza” just days after Oct. 7, alongside a toy octopus — which some read as an allusion to the Nazis’ antisemitic propaganda visualizing Judaism’s supposed network of control over the world.
Thunberg, who is on the autism spectrum, later removed the photo and claimed she was “completely unaware” of the historical use of antisemitic octopus imagery and clarified that she meant for it to represent her emotions.
“The toy in the picture is a tool often used by autistic people as a way to communicate feelings,” she said.
