Verdict: False
The photo is edited to show the book.
Fact Check:
Thunberg was recently arrested by Danish police after blocking an entrance to a building in protest of the war in Gaza, The Guardian reported. Since the arrest, Thunberg has also joined the call for a boycott of Chevron as she claims they are “climate criminals” and send funding to Israel, according to Democracy Now.
A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, purports to show Thunberg holding an anti-Jewish book. The book in the alleged image is titled “On The Jews And Their Lies” and is authored by Martin Luther, a German priest in the 16th century.
The claim is inaccurate. The photo is digitally altered to show this book. The original photo was posted in Feb. 2023 by Thunberg and shows her holding her own book on climate change.
