Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s mistreatment of a rights activist who stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people, describing its actions as “cruel, inhuman and degrading.”

Esmail Baghaei made the remarks in a post on X, referring to reports that Israel “tortured and sexually humiliated” Greta Thunberg.

He cited Thunberg’s recent interview with a Swedish newspaper, in which the young activist described being violently assaulted during a protest.

“They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me,” Thunberg was quoted as saying.

The spokesman said Israel’s behavior reflects a deliberate effort to instill fear and suppress dissent amid its genocide in Gaza.

    It’s optics genius, then. What happens when everyone imitates these organizers’ tactics? Nothing. By presenting itself as a solution to Zionism it actively undermines the political work of Hamas and the armed struggpe of Qassam Brigades

    Iran, Yemen, etc, they are all much too polite about this lib protest stuff. They need LENIN
