- Thunberg has a long history of pro-Palestinian activism.
Climate campaigner and pro-Palestinian activist Greta Thunberg joined demonstrators on Thursday outside the Eurolinks weapons manufacturing facility on the outskirts of Marseille. Wearing a traditional keffiyeh, Thunberg condemned corporate and state complicity in the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, caused by the ‘Israeli’ assault.
Standing before a crowd of protesters holding banners, Thunberg delivered a direct message regarding the facility's operations:
"We are currently blocking the entrances to the weapons factory Eurolinks in the outskirts of Marseille, who are supplying Israel with weapon components used to kill Palestinians in the genocide in Palestine which is still going on, and is happening with the complicity of our governments and our companies. So we all have a duty to stand up and stop the arms transfer used to kill innocent people."
While Thunberg first gained global recognition as the teenage founder of the "Fridays for Future" school strike movement for climate action, her advocacy has increasingly intersected with broader global justice movements. In recent years, Thunberg has linked the climate crisis to systemic issues such as human rights violations, capitalism, and militarism.
She has previously participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla, a journey which ended in her arrest by ‘Israeli’ authorities.
Eurolinks
The controversy surrounding the Eurolinks manufacturing facility in Marseille, France, centers on its production of metallic belt links used to feed bullets into automatic machine guns and heavy infantry weapons. Investigative reports, notably by the French outlet Disclos, revealed that these components were ordered by ‘Israel’ Military Industries (IMI), a major defense contractor and supplier to the ‘Israeli’ armed forces. While company representatives have maintained that a portion of their exports go to ‘Israel’ under standard global supply terms, the shipments have triggered intense public scrutiny, legal complaints from human rights organizations, and frequent blockades by activists and trade unions who argue the parts contribute directly to military operations in Gaza.
