Greta Thunberg has come under fire for her pro-Palestine stance by Jewish groups, as the German branch of climate movement Fridays for Future also distanced itself from her.

Ms Thunberg, wearing a Palestinian black and white scarf, had urged 'ceasefire now' at a climate protest in Amsterdam on Sunday before a man grabbed her microphone and said: 'I've come for a climate demonstration, not a political view.'

The 20-year-old eco-protester had accused 'the people in power of not listening' to the 'voices of those who are being oppressed' in the Gaza Strip during her speech in front of tens of thousands of climate demonstrators

Her outburst marked 'the end of Greta Thunberg as a climate activist,' said Volker Becker, the president of the German-Israel Society DIG, adding that 'from now: Israel hater is the main job' for the Swedish activist.

Tonight, Ms Thunberg was in London as she joined 50 Fossil Free London activists outside the Guildhall where inside Prime Minister Rishi Sunak gave a speech on foreign policy at the Lord Mayor's Banquet.

Ricarda Lang, co-leader of the Greens, which is a junior partner of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition, also said Ms Thunberg had 'discredited herself as the face of the climate movement'.

'Greta Thunberg misused the absolutely necessary and correct concern on climate protection for a one-sided position on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, in which she does not name the perpetrators, in which she does not condemn the absolute atrocities by Hamas,' said Lang.

'She has in fact discredited herself as the face of the climate movement through these statements,' added Lang.

The Israeli embassy in Germany also wrote on X that it was 'sad that Greta Thunberg is again misusing the climate stage for her own purposes'.

Ms Thunberg's 'one-sided' view of the Israel-Hamas war, which saw 1,400 Israelis slaughtered by Hamas terrorists on October 7, has also seen the German chapter of the Fridays for Future movement distancing itself from the activist.

Luisa Neubauer, its chapter head, said Ms Thunberg was 'extraordinarily reflective and far-sighted' in the past but that the German branch will now have to examine 'with whom we still have a basis to work based on common values'.

'It is obvious that for many global organisations, global realities diverge when it comes to Israel and Palestine. But that does not justify anti-Semitism or disinformation,' warned Ms Neubauer.

Ms Neubauer had told Die Zeit weekly of her regret over what she called Ms Thunberg's one-sided view of the conflict.

'I'm disappointed that Greta Thunberg had nothing concrete to say about the Jewish victims of the massacre of October 7,' she said.

On Sunday, Ms Thunberg was talking to a crowd of tens of thousands in Amsterdam when she invited a Palestinian and an Afghan woman onto the stage.

'As a climate justice movement, we have to listen to the voices of those who are being oppressed and those who are fighting for freedom and for justice. Otherwise, there can be no climate justice without international solidarity,' she said.

After the Palestinian and the Afghan woman, Sahar Shirzad, spoke and Ms Thunberg resumed her speech, noting that 'the people in power have not been listening,' a man came on to the stage and interrupted her, grabbing the microphone.

'I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view,' he said, before he was ushered off as crowd members booed.

Ms Thunberg then grabbed the mic back and repeated: 'Calm down.' After a brief pause, she started chanting: 'No climate justice on occupied land.'
