Israel to remove Greta Thunberg from curriculum after her show of solidarity with Gaza

Israel's education minister has said he will remove the curriculum on Greta Thunberg's climate activism following her demonstration of support of Palestine.

In an announcement, the ministry wrote that "her stance disqualifies her as an educational and moral role model, and she is no longer fit to be a source of inspiration for students in Israel".

The young Swedish environmental activist had posted a photo on social media displaying her support with people in Gaza. 

Thunberg posted a photo of herself and three others holding signs stating: "Free Palestine", "Climate Justice Now", "This Jew stands with Palestine" and "Stand with Gaza". In the caption, she called for "solidarity with Palestine and Gaza" and an immediate ceasefire.
