GRETA Thunberg sparked fury at a climate protest by wearing a Palestinian scarf and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The 20-year-old eco-protester’s Amsterdam speech was interrupted by a man who grabbed her microphone.

He told her: “I’ve come for a climate demonstration, not a political view.”
Volker Becker, president of the German- Israel Society DIG, said her outburst marked “the end of Greta Thunberg as a climate activist”.
He added: “From now, Israel hater is her main job.” The Israeli embassy in Germany said she was “again misusing the climate stage for her own purposes”.
The Israeli embassy in Germany also wrote on X that it was “sad that Greta Thunberg is again misusing the climate stage for her own purposes”.
On Sunday, Greta was talking to a crowd of tens of thousands in Amsterdam when she invited a Palestinian and an Afghan woman onto the stage.
She said: “As a climate justice movement, we have to listen to the voices of those who are being oppressed and those who are fighting for freedom and for justice.
“Otherwise, there can be no climate justice without international solidarity.”
