She added, "I don't understand how people can watch what’s happening, witness a genocide live-streamed, and still go about their daily lives as if nothing’s wrong. I believe anyone who can, wherever they are, should raise their voice and do everything in their power to stop it."
Thunberg also emphasized, "Silence during a genocide makes you complicit. We all have a role to play. For instance, in countries like Sweden, we can boycott Israeli companies, divest, and impose sanctions. We all can do something, we just need to find it."
