As reported by the Canary and other independent outlets, Israel ‘illegally abducted’ flotilla activists on 2 October. Activist Greta Thunberg was among those abducted, and this has drawn attention to the following message from Newsmax Australia ‘broadcaster’ Daniel Lewkovitz:

This is what Pro-Israel & Genocide lovers are like. He’s fucking disgusting. If this is how he talks openly about a young woman imagine what he does to them. He’s a disgusting piece of shit

The irony of him telling Greta to grow up after posting this. What a cunt. https://t.co/uK3edMdOui

Shocking, on Greta Thunberg

Speaking on the flotilla bringing aid to the victims of Israel’s genocide, Lewkovitz said:

No sandwiches this time. Game time is over. I want Greta Thunberg terrified. I want her screaming and begging for it to stop. I want her rocking in a corner, covering her eyes. pissing and shitting in her pants. Israel is fighting a genocidal enemy and doesn’t need to be distracted by attention seeking activists with no skin in the game who think this will be cute content for Instagram. They want to enter a war zone? Fine. War is hell. Give. Them. Hell. Let them Find Out. Let their screams be a warning to other Useful Idiots for Hamas.

It’s time to grow up, Greta.

In America, Newsmax is a right-wing competitor to Fox News. Famously, Newsmax aired programming from Bill O’Reilley after he left Fox News in the wake of sexual harassment allegations. The station similarly ran segments with Mark Halperin who left NBC and MSNBC following sexual harassment allegations of his own.

Lewkovitz describes himself as a “broadcaster” on Newsmax Australia and as a “Security Expert”. He doesn’t list the ‘broadcaster’ position on his LinkedIn, suggesting he’s a talking head on security concerns. Lewkovitz has made multiple appearances on Australian news channels.

People highlighted the following story related to Lewkovitz:

Well I’m just shocked

Australian Telegraph journalist Eliza Barr tweeted about the story on 15 August 2024, but the link no longer works:

Exclusive: Former Liberal Democrats federal election candidate and security professional Daniel Lewkovitz has been charged over an allegation of choking. With @AymonBertah for @dailytelegraph:https://t.co/T4yZKmTKVX

— Eliza Barr (@ElizaJBarr) August 15, 2024

This suggests that either the article was removed or that Barr and others saw fit to fabricate the story for some reason.

Other commented on the story at the time, with more recent posts highlighting that the article is not accessible:

It’s nearly impossible to find any record of this on news websites now. The public has the right to know that Daniel Lewkovitz was charged over an allegation of choking. https://t.co/RQrVWp4QdY

Several people took objection to Lewkovitz’s response to Thunberg:

Why is it always middle-aged men wishing death on Greta Thunberg?

What is it about her that scares them? Because it is fear. Their posts reek of it. Genuinely one of the most pathetic things you regularly see on here.

People have also defended Thunberg from other attacks:

Greta Thunberg is doing what people should do with their privilege which is try to make the world a better place. https://t.co/8e1edEE4aa

Thunberg released a video recorded before her abduction:

“My name is Greta Thunberg . I’m a citizen of Sweden. If you are watching this video, I have been abducted and taken against my will by Israeli forces… Please tell my government to demand my and the others’ immediate release.”
