I actually think it’s important for everyone, but especially those with a platform, to speak out against genocide. Surely that’s not a hot take?

No it’s not a hot take but that is not what she did. She is not neutral at all in this. She does not have a platform, she had a social media account with an average following. What she does have is a substack account for her writing, which has had nothing about this at all given it started over two weeks ago. I also disagree that anyone who thinks they have a platform should comment or have an opinion on this, as I said, if you don’t know what to say, link to UNICEF and leave it at that.

but she doesn’t have to be neutral? And you don’t have to have a big following to say you think genocide is bad? I don’t really get which part is bothering you - that she didn’t post about it two weeks ago via her paid content, or that she posted about it at all? I get that if you don’t know what to say then a donation link is sufficient but if she feels like she has more to say then that’s also fine?

She should not have posted at all. She said several times that she should not be commenting due to her visa status then goes on to give hive a comment coupled with a bias and a blanket statement on Irelands’ status on the recent attacks! The dope.

This is a perfect example of the tribalism that is on display on Irish twitter at the moment. If you dare to express any empathy towards the innocent Israeli citizens or speak out against the anti-semitism that's coming from many sides, then it's all "you don't care about genocide". I'll say it again, no innocent civilian deserves to die, on either side

You’re putting words in my mouth a bit there, if there’s an issue on Twitter with that then take it up with people there, I’m just saying it’s important to speak out against genocide, which is true. Having sympathy for innocent Israeli civilians and condemning an ongoing genocide of Palestinians aren’t mutually exclusive.
 
. I would suggest to Rosemary and other blue ticks that they don't need to use their platform to weigh in on every topic especially ones they don't understand
I agree on this so much, I'm sick of seeing everyone who has any kind of following on insta coming on with a serious crest fallen expression trying to impart their great knowledge on the absolute tit show that is the world right now.
I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks of the situation, I can read up or watch from people who have actual grasp of the situation if I want to. Every day there is a new war or tragedy or disaster, I'm not on insta to be lectured or educated (I'd certainly choose a more reliable source) by someone who has about as much knowledge of the situation as myself.
I like Rosemary generally but I'm fed up of the lot of them giving their tuppence worth to their followers, spare us🙄

Her green card could be affected, we all know how mental America has become

I deleted my post as I felt bad but yes, I think Rosemary should stick to writing think pieces on how she finds flattering to be fat phobic and her money diaries, she admits she doesn't know all the facts so she has nothing to add to the conversation

Bit in bold: you're living in la la land if you think the anti-semitism shown towards ordinary Israeli and Jewish people hasn't been off the charts lately

I don't think anyone needs to hear the opinions of an American housewife, with to my knowledge, no connection to Israel and Palestine.

Maybe you’re not seeing it on your feed, but I follow multiple Palestinians, both displaced and in Gaza, and they are all asking for everyone to share what’s happening. You don’t need a degree in politics to know that what’s happening isn’t right.Excluding people from activism, digital or otherwise, because they’re “American housewives” isn’t fair or correct. Everyone has the ability to do their own research. I don’t remember anyone criticising her for sharing posts about Ukraine/Russia.

Again, that’s not what she did. She shared no information, just her own experience in Fort Wayne of what is happening Israel and Palestine. She didn’t have to say anything at all!

She’s shared other posts from other creators explaining the situation, heres one that’s still on her story.

She posted it with her comments. You’re missing my point entirely, she does not need to educate or inform or give her opinion on it. No one asked and no one goes to her for political analysis in the near east. Why she feels obliged to is a mystery. She should have said absolutely nothing as she even said she should! Her comments in Irelands’ history on this were particularly egregious.
