The recent Gaza peace deal, announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on October 13, 2025, has ended the 2023-2025 conflict with Hamas, agreeing to release remaining hostages and hand over Gaza's administration to a transitional authority.
It includes a ceasefire, aid corridors, and
reconstruction pledges, hailed as a "strong, durable, and everlasting
peace.
Despite Thunberg's
vocal calls for a ceasefire over the past two years through protests,
flotillas, and social media, her silence has sparked widespread online
mockery and speculation. Here's what's dominating discussions on X and news

Refusal to Credit
Trump: Thunberg, a prominent critic of Trump, is accused of staying silent
to avoid praising him. Posts highlight her past activism (e.g., Gaza aid
flotillas intercepted by Israel in early October 2025) but note her absence now
that Trump brokered the deal.
Users quip she's "not sure if the peace deal meets
her standards" without reviewing documents, tying it to her anti-Trump
stance.
Virtue-Signaling
Exposed: Pro-Palestine activists, including Thunberg, are called out for
"going quiet" once the war ends, suggesting their protests were
performative. X threads point to empty flotillas (no real aid loaded) as proof
of stunts for clout, not genuine humanitarianism. Memes mock: "Where's
Greta's thank you? It was all a charade."
Moral Inconsistency: Commentators argue Thunberg's silence reveals a bias against Israel, where peace disrupts her "genocide" narrative.
Israeli-American journalist Haviv Rettig Gur notes on X that left-leaning
figures like her "need the bombings to continue" to sustain their
worldview, as ending the war invalidates their moral outrage. This has trended
with hashtags like #GretaSilent and
#TrumpPeace.
These surface-level takes have gone viral, with posts
garnering tens of thousands of engagements, framing her as a "doom
goblin" more interested in headlines than resolution.
Deeper
Speculations and Less-Publicized Angles:
Beyond the memes, quieter discussions on X and niche
analyses suggest ulterior motives tied to Thunberg's pivot from climate to Gaza
activism. These "hidden" theories, often conspiratorial, point to
funding, personal gain, and geopolitical maneuvering:
Qatari/Hamas
Funding Ties: Whispers claim Thunberg's Gaza flotilla (intercepted October
4, 2025) was bankrolled by Qatar, a Hamas funder, via her foundation, shifting
from "drying up" climate donations to "Jihad pays better.
Leaked chats allegedly show her admitting the flotilla
was "for show," paid to incite global anti-Israel riots, not deliver
aid (inspections found empty boats). Silence now? The deal cuts off such
funding streams.
Attention-Seeking
Grooming: Critics posit Thunberg, once a climate icon, was
"groomed" into activism for spotlight addiction. Her Nobel Peace
Prize nomination (ongoing as of October 7, 2025) was at risk of being overshadowed by Trump's deal.
Post-release from Israeli detention (after abuse claims),
she's pivoted to new "grifts" like anti-ICE protests, per
speculation.
Geopolitical
Profit Without Principle: Deeper reads suggest her involvement was to
market "peace without principle," amplifying anti-Western narratives
for progressive donors.
Sweden's silence on her detention (harsh conditions
reported October 4) exposes hypocrisy: governments propped her up for climate but
abandoned her in Gaza. The deal's success (hostage releases, aid flow) undermines
this, forcing a reluctant pivot.
Thunberg's non-response keeps the debate alive, but as the deal holds (no violations reported as of October 14), her role may fade into irrelevance or spark a new cause.
