Hi Van. Very bold of you to share my bit about colonialism while choosing to stay silent about the suffering of Palestinians. You have not once used your platform of over 100k followers to tweet an opinion about the genocide of Palestinians, currently the victims of what is the most visible and most documented colonial massacre in history. Even on International Women’s Day, Palestinian women who are being bombed and starved by a genocidal regime do not get a mention from you. Palestinian women have been murdered in their thousands. Some are delivering babies without hospitals or anesthetic - babies who, if they survive, are immediately subject to starvation and a life without basic medical assistance. Palestinian women are subject to illegal detention, brutality and routine sexual violence in Israeli prisons. They have not received a mention from you. Instead, your TL is full of praise for Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Penny Wong - the major and minor architects of this catastrophe. You have also shared the now completely debunked claim that Israel was not responsible for the destruction of Al Ahli hospital. I don’t need your endorsement and I don’t need to be a crutch in whatever game of liberal white ally you’re playing here. If you can tweet this bit as a writer and public figure without making the glaring and obvious parallel to what is happening to Palestinians, you definitely do not get the joke. Being a shill for the ALP and the Democrats in the midst of a genocide is peak white feminism at a level beyond parody. Please delete this tweet and share some other content that better reflects your politics.
