Well it is odd how Greta Thunberg pivoted to Palestine as her issue, given that climate change is, in her own words, the greatest risk to us all.

Feels a little bit narcissistic.

She has of course the right to get involved in any issue she cares about, just as everyone else.

But I think it was a bad move of hers to make the organisation "Fridays for Future" she had founded pivot towards other issues other than Climate Change. She should have kept her engagements separate.

A brutal war leaving untold numbers of children dead is a reasonable thing to focus on, is it not?

Additionally, military operations are terrible for the climate. The US military is (was?) responsible for more pollution/emissions than most countries, for instance.

There are many issues one cam care about and some can be more urgent even if not the most serious.

I guess she’s hoping she can help humanitarian aid being delivered to Gaza where people are starving and dying right now.

I respect her for her efforts in both goals, even if I care more about handling climate change.

> pivoted to Palestine as her issue

Is that the case? she supports many other causes too, and they do not conflict the idea of climate change being the greatest risk. In her own words climate justice and social justice are inseparable and I can see that point.

We are now discussing the narcissism of Greta, a well meaning activist, rather than that of the president of peace, who just bombed Iran. The narcisism of the man who ran on "drill baby drill" is somehow acceptable, was exactly my point.
