Original Note:
Thunberg’s original post included a plush octopus in the photo. Octopi were common in Nazi propaganda to represent the antisemitic conspiracy of Jewish control. Given the post’s criticism of Israel, some perceived the included octopus to be an antisemitic dog whistle. https://antisemitism.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Antisemitic-imagery-May-2020.pdf https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12653419/amp/greta-thunberg-fury-pro-palestine-post-israel-hamas-terrorism-climate-change.html
