Overview

• Thunberg’s post about Palestinian detainees featured a photo of Evyatar David taken from a Hamas video showing him emaciated in captivity.
• David’s sister, Yeela, identified the image in comments and urged Thunberg to remove it, after which the specific slide was deleted.
• Thunberg was detained during the Global Sumud flotilla, then deported to Greece as Israel said the intercepted vessels and passengers were handled safely.
• She alleged detainees were kidnapped and tortured and lacked basic needs, claims Israel denies while stating those held were safe and healthy.
• The Instagram post was created with pro-Palestinian activists to spotlight alleged abuses in Israeli detention, intensifying scrutiny of imagery and sourcing.
