Israel's education ministry has decided to remove all references to Greta Thunberg from its school curriculum due to her expression of support for Gaza. This decision followed a photo of Thunberg holding a "stand with Gaza" sign, which sparked backlash from Israeli climate activists who criticized her for taking a one-sided and ill-informed stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Thunberg clarified her position, denouncing Hamas's attacks and emphasizing the need for an immediate ceasefire and justice for Palestinians. This incident highlights the ongoing debate about the involvement of climate activists in political conflicts.
