Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is the world’s second most dangerous antisemite, several spots ahead of white nationalist Nick Fuentes, according to a new report from the Israeli government.

The report contains an analysis of 10 “prominent influencers in the global anti-semitic and anti-Zionist arena in 2025, who were selected based on both the severity of their actions/statements and the scope of their influence.” While outside organizations have created similar rankings of antisemitic influencers, this appears to be the first one published by the Israeli government.

As evidence of Thunberg’s antisemitism, the Israeli government pointed to her use of “terms such as ‘genocide,’ ‘siege’ and ‘mass starvation’ in reference to Israel’s actions in Gaza.”

Mate. Semite is defined in two ways. One is the definition of 18th century scholars, who classified every arab and Jew as Semites because their biblical stemfather is Shem. And the modern definition of "speaking a semitic language". And according to both, Israelis are semites.

Whatever you define as a semite is not tied to anything right now.

Hebrew is a reconstructed language and a semitic one. The majority of Israelis have European ancestry or have been lured in from there, but there are also middle eastern Jews among them. Which once again, has nothing to do with the definition of semites.

They are Arabs. Which are also semites, but not the only ones.

According to the two common definitions of the word, they are.

[-] cheesorist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
