Greta Thunberg gives her first words after she was released from Israeli prison where she was beat and forced to kiss the Israeli flag. She says the story is not about them, the story is about Gaza.

"There is no doubt that the cultural boycott of Israel will harm not only the fascists, but also good and courageous people. So what? This is a small price to pay to end a genocide."

Trump's proposal represents cruel colonial rule, which fails to address Israel's illegal occupation and apartheid, fails to recognise Palestinians' right to self-determination, and fails to put Palestinians into the driver's seat. Proposals like this are bound to fail.
