There are mentions of pictures, and she herself was aware such pictures may exist and asked whether they had been released. So, no, you’re misled. Forcing detainees through beatings and physical force into interacting with the Israeli flag is a common humiliation practice by Israelis if you know anything about them. It’s pretty much standard practice. They wouldn’t think twice about doing it to their newest victim regardless of who “she thinks she is”.
Have you considered that maybe she’s very traumatised both physically and mentally at the moment and is recovering first before she steps out into the public eye again?
Where in the article does it say she gave testimony herself? Also it isn’t that much of a niche news site, it’s one of the biggest left wing news outlets in the UK, probably the second biggest after Novara
I’m not a chatbot, you can read the article yourself and find out these things. I haven’t insisted the article is credible. Go back and read what I wrote and you’ll see that
If you can’t understand why someone wouldn’t go out in front of the world and make big statements in line with these claims, or any statement at all, immediately after a very traumatising experience then you really need to work on your empathy and understanding of basic human emotion. I understand your skepticism, to a point. I just gave a very obvious reason why she hasn’t talked about the harrowing things she went through in detail to the public straight away, whether they are as is said in this article or not. Even thinking about them is going to be very difficult for her, nevermind doing what you’re expecting
Edit: Taken out a sentence that isn’t relevant, as I thought you were the OP of this comment thread before
Another detainee reportedly told another embassy that they had seen her [Thunberg] being forced to hold flags while pictures were taken
is not the same as
They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others
I don’t doubt she has been forced to pose with a flag and thus ask wether those pictures has been released.

She’s Greta. She would show her bruises to make the case against Israel. She’d never be silent if it was as bad as the article claims.

Sure, but she provided enough testimony for this niche news website to publish this story? Occam’s Razor holds for now.

If she didn’t give testimony, who did? Why do you insist the article is credible?

I don’t understand your objection then, sorry.
