Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 64693, member: 636"] President Donald Trump criticized Swedish activist Greta Thunberg on Monday after Israeli forces detained her with more than 400 people attempting to deliver aid to Gaza by sea on Friday. Trump told reporters at the Oval Office that Thunberg requires medical attention for anger management issues. Israeli authorities deported more than 130 activists to Turkey over the weekend, while Thunberg traveled to Greece and Slovakia on Monday. Activists claimed Israeli officials tortured detainees in custody, but authorities denied the allegations. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir defended detention conditions as appropriate. Trump and Thunberg have exchanged criticism since 2019, when he questioned her temperament after Time magazine named her Person of the Year, and she responded by changing her social media profile to reference his comments.
