'World needs more young angry women': Greta Thunberg slams Donald Trump after 'anger management' remark on Gaza aid; watch video

Climate activist Greta Thunberg fired back at US President Donald Trump on Tuesday after he mocked her for being "angry" following her detention by Israeli forces. Responding to his remarks, Thunberg said, "The world needs more angry young women."

Thunberg was deported from Israel after being taken into custody while trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza by boat.

She was among several activists aboard the Madleen, which was intercepted in international waters on Monday.

The group was attempting to bring aid to Gaza, which is facing a major humanitarian crisis during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Speaking about the incident, Trump said, "She's a strange person… a young, angry person." He added, "I think she has to go to an anger management class. That’s my primary recommendation for her."

According to The Hill, When told about these comments at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, Thunberg responded: "I think the world needs a lot of more young angry women to be honest, especially with everything going on right now."


She also described her detention as a "kidnapping" and "an intentional violation of rights." Still, she made it clear that her own experience was minor compared to what Palestinians in Gaza are going through.


"The conditions we faced are absolutely nothing compared to what people are going through in Palestine and especially Gaza right now," she said.

Israel’s ministry of foreign affairs had earlier posted: "The 'selfie yacht' of the 'celebrities' is safely making its way to the shores of Israel. The passengers are expected to return to their home countries."
