Did you notice this about Greta Thunberg's 'Stand with Gaza' picture? (Octopus in the photo)
Twitchy.com ^ | 12/1/2023 | Larry Townhall

Greta Thunberg received a lot of heat after posting a picture with some fellow "activists" holding up signs such as "Stand with Gaza" and "Free Palestine." However it wasn't the signs that upset people the most. It was the object balanced on the knee of the girl behind Thunberg. (It was a stuffed octopus toy. I can't tell its color).

Her parents wound her up and set her off and the spring is a long and powerful one. It will not unwind for a long time.

Exactly, I’m fed up with this obnoxious, spoiled, stupid, arrogant, no good, annoying, ignorant, naive brat!

Most normal people who are not hardcore leftists feel the same way. She’s sickening, but she’s just a puppet spewing out the hateful rhetoric programmed into her by her handlers.

she’s just brainwashed. Her handlers tell her only one side of a story, over and over again. When that happens, a weak person will tend to believe that one side, and only that one side.

True, and what’s even more frightening is that the same can be said of tens of millions of American citizens who’s handlers are the left’s propaganda news media, and who are therefore indoctrinated 24/7 by anti-American rhetoric.

Like an ugly flat-chested version of Ann Coulter.

I was able to find thousands of links for blue octopuses, which are extremely denigrating to Jews.

Excuse me for being in the dark on this, but I have no knowledge of what the “blue octopus” reference in connection with the Jews is all about. Would you mind filling me in? Thanks.

The blue octopus being an antisemitic symbol sounds almost too wacky to be true. But it is true. The tentacles of the octopus represents the Jews supposedly reaching out to control the whole world.

Nazi posters often used an octopus for that reason.

It’s the blue color I don’t get. Anyway, here’s a Nazi poster showing a blue octopus.

Did Thunberg’s pals know about this filthy symbolism? I’d say so. It’s way too much of a coincidence to think otherwise.

Scoldilocks Thunberg doesn't like high performance engines.

I’ve been a reader of historical literature for almost 70 years, own a good many books on the Third Reich, WW-II, Hitler, the Holocaust, etc., have made a couple of visits to the Holocaust Museum in D.C. How could I have missed the blue octopus? That humble pie tastes terrible!

Amazon is pushing the octopus as a Christmas gift.

Subtle and insidious.

I don’t know why blue either, but I figure it has to do with their flag.

“Her parents wound her up and set her off and the spring is a long and powerful one. It will not unwind for a long time.”

She’ll probably OD on drugs and assume permafrost temperature in a few years.

Funny.

Couldn’t he add another Greta picture by the tailpipe? She’s suited to places spewing waste products out the end.

Make no mistake:

NAZI-ERA ANTISEMITIC PROPAGANDA POSTER

Nazi propaganda cartoon by Seppla (Josef Plank), a political cartoonist. Germany, date uncertain [probably during World War II].

Beginning in the 1920s, Nazi propagandists promoted the antisemitic myth that Jews were engaged in a massive conspiracy to take over the world. This false notion alleged that “international Jewry” used various people and groups as part of a plan for global conquest. At the time, an octopus extending its tentacles over the globe was a common visual metaphor for this myth.

Seppla likely created this cartoon in the early 1940s, when Nazi Germany was at war with Great Britain. The cartoon shows British politician, Winston Churchill, as the octopus. Above the octopus's head is the Jewish Star of David. The tentacles seem to be losing their grip on the world. In the cartoon, Europe is shown as being free from under the octopus's control.

In Seppla’s cartoon, the octopus seems to symbolize both the antisemitic myth of "international Jewry" and Great Britain. The image suggests that Churchill is a tool of the alleged “conspiracy.” It also suggests that both Jews and Great Britain will be ultimately defeated.

Did they say why Seppla used color blue for octopus? I kept thinking it represented Israel’s flag, but not if created in 1940’s.
