Greta Thunberg Deletes Post Protesting Treatment of Palestinian Prisoners After Hamas Hostage Pic Mix-Up
"Greta Thunberg was forced to delete an Instagram post protesting the cruelty and dehumanization dealt to Palestinian prisoners of Israel after the sister of a Hamas hostage pointed out she had mistakenly used a propaganda image of her starved brother, thinking he was a Palestinian. The post, shared Monday by the Swedish activist and other campaigners, claimed to highlight the suffering of Palestinian prisoners."
"You should research before you post things you don't understand about. In the 6th slide you put a photo of an Israeli Hostage who Hamas starved on purpose. This is Evyatar David, wrote his sister, Yeela David, in a furious comment noted by the New York Post. Every minute you are not deleting the post, you are becoming a bigger joke, she added."
Greta Thunberg deleted an Instagram image after campaigners posted photographs intended to highlight the suffering of Palestinian prisoners. One photograph was a still from footage released by Hamas that showed 24-year-old Israeli hostage Evyatar David gaunt and shirtless, digging his own grave. The hostage's sister, Yeela David, identified the image and demanded removal, calling the post a joke. Several pro-Israeli accounts and Israeli government accounts criticized the mistake. Thunberg edited the post to remove the image. The mistake occurred days after Thunberg and other activists were detained while attempting to sail a Freedom Flotilla toward Gaza. Thunberg has not publicly addressed the error.
