Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been labeled "antisemite of the Week" by the Jewish watchdog group StopAntisemitism following her arrest at an anti-Israel rally. The group criticized Thunberg for aligning with protesters who oppose Israel, accusing her of turning her activism into a platform for anti-Semitism, the New York Post reported.

"She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred," the organization said.

Thunberg, 21, was arrested on September 4 while demonstrating with Students Against the Occupation, who called on Copenhagen University to cut ties with Israel, including climate change programs. StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel's efforts on climate action.

Jewish Voice for Peace, IfNotNow, the many Jewish members of the different Students for Justice in Palestine groups, quite a few of the Uncommitted delegates were Jewish, need I go on?

The fact that you don't believe there are Jews opposed to genocide is, in fact, the result of an antisemitic media campaign to smear all Jews as pro-Israel.

I fully believe there are Jewish people who are against this. However, the history books will focus on the acts of the IDF and not the vocal minority.

History books do mention the Germans that were opposed to the Holocaust.

Minority of what? There are polls of Jews in the UK and USA that show a majority disapproving of Israel's current government.
