They have reduced the genocide in Palestine to a "religious war" between two Muslim countries. They have also continued to make critically tone-deaf vague posts in response to getting news of Palestine through their social media and had the audacity to post a distasteful rant during Christmas evening as Palestinians were being harmed. You can read her first response about Palestine and see its news here on her blog. Her so-called vague posts are here , here , here and here. (The dates are concise with major news on social media about Palestine). Edit: More of her posts on Palestine at here, here, ,here here, and here. As a former follower, I can say she only did this as an excuse to rant and perform a woe-as-me bait post to garner sympathy and attention because she can't "handle" the guilt of seeing stuff. Yet, she did not have the dignity nor the motivation to learn about even the most basic information about the Palestine genocide before commenting on it in such a tone-deaf manner. This is harmful because it furthers the spread of misinformation.

Her tags are also disgusting as she's focused on "escapism" and believes the news out of Palestine disturbed her peace of mind. Rather than being considerate of her social media life, she chooses to post where she's the true victim. Having the double standard that her peace of mind is more important than being considerate about the censorship of genocide because she "can't" handle it.

Seeing a genocide recorded in screenshots and videos is hard, but it doesn't cost much to be mindful of social media rather than blaming people who are trying to fight the algorithm and censorship.

I've called her out on it due to how disgusted I felt about her rants and her lack of accountability when it comes to cultivating her own social media and minding herself. If she truly didn't want to see such things she could easily disengage by minding her SM life, yet she doesn't. She makes it everyone else's problem and tries to correct other people's behavior while refusing to do anything to change her circumstances.

As of this time, she has not seemed to educate herself on the situation nor apologized for such a tone-deaf take. As someone who has been paying attention to Palestine news and seeing such a response from someone like her, I feel the need to warn people that this person is not someone you want to support, commission, or engage with.
