An open letter to Greta

Dear Greta,

I remember the day you entered our lives. The fire in your eyes and electrifying passion convinced us to listen to you.

You became a global leader at such a young age. I can only imagine the sense of responsibility and pressure on such a young woman. While many supported you, you also had to face criticism and bullying.

We live in a complex world where financial and political interests set the tone and lies are spread without shame.

People with good intentions are often taken advantage of.

Populist views are easy to follow and many people are led to believe that the reality is a certain way, despite facts that prove otherwise.

Greta, you lost your way many years ago. Unfortunately, you now represent one of the worst terror groups in human history. Hamas and the other Palestinian Jihadi groups represent all that you should be fighting against.

These bloodthirsty terrorists brutally murdered and raped thousands of innocent people. Not only Israeli. These cruel terrorists treat the Palestinians no better.

You and they only have one thing in common: hate towards Israel. You think they care about the environment? You think they care about human rights?

Unfortunately, I don’t think you have much decency left inside you, but maybe your short interaction with the Israeli people will have a positive impact on you. Maybe the female Navy officer who greeted you with a sandwich and water left a positive impression.

May you go back to your home and reflect on your own life experiences. Hopefully, you have the courage to change your ways and choose to side with those who seek life in peace.

Extremism may get you attention and clout, but it definitely won’t bring peace. Honesty, love, and compassion can lead to building a better future for all.
