    They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,”

      Of course this isn’t acceptable. But it’s hardly a balanced report. For instance, she’s 22 - hardly a little girl.

        Why do you comment something without reading the article? This is a quote from someone explaining what they saw, not the reporter describing her like that.

          I thought that it was a bit odd wording too based on the quote alone, implying that Greta was some fragile small thing everyone should protect instead of brave young woman that she is. But then I read the article and in context it makes sense, that’s something I might say too in the same situation.
