Greta Thunberg, the Swedish climate activist who is constantly being dramatic about her fight to protect the planet while drawing mountains of criticism, had an especially embarrassing week.

According to Fox News, Thunberg's Gaza-bound flotilla was recently seized by the Israeli Navy, and that incident ultimately led to Thunberg's deportation from the country.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the situation in an X post, explaining that Thunberg was deported out of the country via airplane, back to her home country of Sweden.

She was reportedly deported with a group of other activists. Some of the people on her Flotilla, including a member of the European Parliament, refused to sign deportation papers.

What's going on?

Thunberg released a statement after the news of her deportation was announced. In it, she claimed she could be of more benefit to Gaza while outside of Israel, and explained why she decided not to refuse to sign the deportation papers.

Fox News reported:

The 22-year-old climate activist reportedly told her attorneys that she could do "more good outside of Israel" and that refusing to leave would "harm" her cause, the Times of Israel reported, citing Adalah, an Israeli organization.

Thunberg made a major, dramatic deal out of her encounter with the Israeli Navy, even going as far as saying she was "kidnapped" by Israel, which was obviously untrue.

Even President Donald Trump was asked about Thunberg claiming she was "kidnapped" by Israel.

Fox News added:

When asked about Thunberg’s claim that she had been "kidnapped," President Donald Trump said, "I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg." The president called the climate activist a "strange person" and told reporters that she needed "anger management" courses.

Thunberg and her pals aboard the boat were further humiliated after Israel described it as a "selfie yacht," implying it was nothing more than a publicity stunt by Thunberg and her climate activist friends.

Social media reacts

Users across social media had plenty to say about Thunberg's embarrassing ordeal.

"So confused on what her role is. Does she work? How does a 9 year old afford all of this? Is she just putting all these charges on her parents Amex?," one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, "Her job is done, the Greta publicity and money making bandwagon marches on."
