German branch of the climate action group distances itself from remarks criticising Israel
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg shouts slogans through a megaphone as she takes part in a Fossil-Free London protest outside JP Morgan and Barclays headquarters at Canary Wharf in London on October 19th, 2023. Photograph: Andy Rain/EPAGerman FFF said it had not been informed in advance of a post from the organisation’s international Instagram account this week, accusing Israel of “75 years of oppression and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians”.
“No, we do not agree with the content,” Ms Neubauer wrote on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, days after speaking of her “horror” at the Hamas attacks during a pro-Israel gathering at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate. This week’s Israel-critical remarks are not the first from the international FFF organisation and, after similar comments in the past, Ms Neubauer said “there’s little more we can do than distance ourselves”.
The three weeks since the October 7th Hamas attack have seen cracks emerge not just with the FFF Swedish founder and her “Free Gaza” campaign but also internally with its own German members.
