    There are mentions of pictures, and she herself was aware such pictures may exist and asked whether they had been released. So, no, you’re misled. Forcing detainees through beatings and physical force into interacting with the Israeli flag is a common humiliation practice by Israelis if you know anything about them. It’s pretty much standard practice. They wouldn’t think twice about doing it to their newest victim regardless of who “she thinks she is”.

      She’s Greta. She would show her bruises to make the case against Israel. She’d never be silent if it was as bad as the article claims.

        Have you considered that maybe she’s very traumatised both physically and mentally at the moment and is recovering first before she steps out into the public eye again?

          Sure, but she provided enough testimony for this niche news website to publish this story? Occam’s Razor holds for now.

            Where in the article does it say she gave testimony herself? Also it isn’t that much of a niche news site, it’s one of the biggest left wing news outlets in the UK, probably the second biggest after Novara

      Yes but

      Another detainee reportedly told another embassy that they had seen her [Thunberg] being forced to hold flags while pictures were taken

      is not the same as

      They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others

      I don’t doubt she has been forced to pose with a flag and thus ask wether those pictures has been released.
