Calling Greta a “hostage” shows just how far you’ve gone in dehumanizing Jews. You hijack the Bring Them Home campaign, created by families of actual hostages held by Hamas, and twist it for people Israel is deporting, peacefully, on the next flight to Europe. That’s not resistance. That’s appropriation. Imagine if Hamas simply sent our hostages home. Do you think their families would still be protesting after 600+ days? You don’t imagine it, because you don’t see those families. You don’t see us. Jewish grief doesn’t move them. Jewish hope doesn’t register. Because to the people calling Greta a hostage, Jews aren’t people. We’re a symbol you use when it’s useful, and ignore when we’re bleeding.
