Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg reacted with laughter upon learning that the Fridays for Future movement, which she co-founded in 2018 to combat the climate crisis, is still holding demonstrations. The incident occurred during the filming of a documentary titled "On Tanks into the Climate Crisis, How Activism is Criminalised." When informed that a protest was taking place in Berlin on that very day, Thunberg expressed surprise, asking, "Really? They are still doing this?" She then burst into loud laughter with a companion and called "Cut!" to the film crew.
Thunberg, now 23, has reportedly shifted her focus in recent years from climate activism to vigorous anti-Israel activism. She has been involved in organizing "protest flotillas" that attempted to sail towards Gaza and were intercepted by the IDF.
