The Devil Wears Greta: How Trendy Performative Activism Harms Israel and Spreads Fictional Opinions
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who initially rose to global prominence for her climate activism, has recently become a mouthpiece for more controversial causes. Her transition from environmental advocate to outspoken critic in geopolitical matters has raised concerns about the impact of performative activism.
Thunberg was recently involved with the Global Sumud Flotilla, a mission aimed at delivering aid to Gaza. During this effort, she was detained by Israeli authorities, drawing international attention and stirring debate about the political implications of such activism.
Greta Thunberg arrived at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in Athens, Greece, on October 6, 2025, as part of this highly publicized event. The incident has sparked discussions on the intersection of celebrity activism and complex geopolitical issues.
