Greta Thunberg Shows Support for Palestine, Wearing Fontaines D.C. Shirt
Updated June 02, 2025
Activist Greta thunberg is making waves again, this time pictured wearing a Fontaines D.C. shirt designed to support the people of Palestine. The image surfaced in a video promoting the “Freedom Flotilla,” a campaign aiming to break Israel’s siege of Gaza.
Thunberg and 11 other campaigners set sail from Catania, Italy, aboard the ship Madleen on June 1. Operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the vessel is carrying food and medical supplies for Gaza. The mission also seeks to raise international awareness of the ongoing humanitarian crisis amid the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to The Guardian.
in the video, Thunberg explained the mission: “[We] will attempt to again sail towards Gaza and try to break the siege and open up a humanitarian corridor by delivering aid like food and medical supplies.” She also referenced a previous attempt where the boat was allegedly bombed, suggesting Israeli involvement.
“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide and the world’s silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.”

Fontaines D.C. has a history of supporting Palestinian causes. Last year, the band donated a $2,000 prize to Doctors Without Borders “for Palestine” and canceled an Istanbul concert in solidarity. Frontman Grian Chatten has emphasized the obligation of artists to speak out and take action.
Carlos O’Connell, another member of Fontaines D.C., participated in a reading of “Voices For Gaza” letters, sharing the experiences of Palestinians during the conflict.
Israel has consistently denied allegations of genocide in Gaza.
What’s next
Thunberg urged supporters to “keep your eyes on deck,” continue protesting,organize boycotts,and “do everything in your power to stand for Palestine.” The Freedom Flotilla’s progress and the delivery of aid to Gaza will be closely monitored.
