Greta has raised awareness that Greta is still around, that Greta was on a boat, and that Greta got a plane home.

Doubt that many every day people have dug in to the story enough to find out things like the boat was carrying ~5 tons of random aid, or that there were 11 other people on it, or that the organisation whose name it was in has existed for several years not a few weeks.

So fair enough, she got me to look into things a bit more, which is a win I suppose, but I doubt that many will have bothered, I did find it quite difficult for instance to find out that the cargo was 5 tons and what the cargo was, I had to ask Grok some quite precise and determined questions to find that out.

It’s also interesting that Egypt is hardly ever criticised on the blockade, though she did mention in an interview that there’s a march some time next week to Rafah crossing, though she didn’t even know the dates so it’s not particularly helpful to be raising awareness for

This is such a stretch simply because Gretas whole thing was bringing attention to the blockade of aid which if you follow just the headlines has made news previously several times. The blockade itself would make news every so often prior to the war as well

This wasn’t really a stunt to bring attention to the truly horrible shit IDF has done, though there’s some argument in international law that Israel’s blockade is illegal from what I understand. I’m sure Israel’s lawyers have some legal reasoning or other to pull out of their ass for it, and if you’re a decent person I’m not sure if your notion of what is good and bad relies on whether international law deems it bad anyway

I don't think it is a stretch though because although people are aware of a war, they aren't aware of the war crimes being committed. There's no way that the media could have really spun what happened with Greta and her fellow aid workers without pointing out that israel were in the wrong for doing what they did to them. In doing that, it's raised more of an interest in the general public which has made more people look in to things and see israel in a different way.
People can have their own opinions on it all though and I'm not here to argue with anyone 🙂

Ya, I think she seems incredibly vulnerable and is being used by powerful people as a front.

As I said above, it is not normal for an EIGHT-year-old child to have severe depression because of climate change. Something/one influenced that. Both she and her sibling have bad OCD. And Greta has had an eating disorder that ended up with her being hospitalized multiple times. Shame on her parents for playing into this absolute circus. Greta isn't a scientist, she is being used as a puppet.

People will forget who she is in a few months time once someone new comes around. Just like how many people have not forgotten about the Parkland kids :(

No I don't have exact numbers. I'd need to ask every single person in the UK to get them and who has time for that.
A lot of the illegal war crimes israel have carried out simply have not been reported by mainstream media, a lot of people online and in person don't know how bad things are over there. Greta getting on that boat, whether it was for pr for herself or not, brought attention to the illegal crimes israel have been committing and mainstream media therefore had no choice but to factually report on it without playing on words which therefore brought it to the attention of the public.
Let's not be cheeky about things, it's a literal fact that mainstream media does not report on a lot of what goes on in the world.

100% but it's frightening just how she has brainwashed people to believe every word out of her mouth.
Why can people not see she is the mouthpiece for those at the WEF, they had to frighten the population, so got a young school girl to do it, knowing the press wouldn't touch her, and no questions asked due to her age.
She's now an adult and is being asked the questions, none of which she has answers for, hopefully people are waking up to this green, the world is going to end crap. 😡

I don't disagree with the message, but people at the event in Bristol keep saying to drive an electric car as if that will really make a difference. The electric car driving Greta is brand new and has a police convoy.

You have to buy a new car for that, how is the energy for the electric car going to be generated and the country has a huge problem with people driving new cars then getting a new one a few years later. I'm no expert but even the best electric car probably isn't better for emissions than using all the produced cars until they can't be fixed 🤷‍♀️

It’s going to be chaos in Bristol today and speaking as someone who works in the city centre I’m dreading it
