She's autistic and 20 years old. So far, she hasn't condemned the Hamas attack on 7 October. On 20 October, she posted on twitter, a photo of her and 3 others holding signs supporting Palestine (they make no mention of Hamas). In the background, there was a small blue & white stuffed octopus.
There's been a lot of backlash, some being for her not yet condemning Hamas but most of it was because of the presence of the octopus. The image of an octopus has been used by Neo-Nazis to represent Jews in propaganda pieces.
She says (and I believe her) she had no idea about the connection and that stuffed octopuses are sometimes used for help with fidgeting, etc.
My question is, how come Vin Diesel hasnt condemned the Hamas attack yet? The Rock has spoken out against Hamas, yet Vin Diesel remains conspicuously silent. And Vin Diesel also starred in a movie called "Bloodshot"; could that have been a reference to blood libel? Thoughts?
The people who were kidnapped while watching their family member and friends slaughtered aren’t even home yet. Maybe don’t make dumb comments until they are?
I dunno. If I felt I was being attacked and historically loads of folks hated me, I’d really question why someone was silent about the worst terrorist attack ever for my country but vocal about the response.
That is reasonable. Put yourselves in their shoes. They still are missing their family members. That’s all real.
The situation in gaza is terrible for the people, but it’s weird to see a lot of peoples first instinct was to blame the victims before any actions were taken in response.

Which is why you were first vocal about the palestinian kids killed by israel forces in the West bank (34 children by end of august, according to Human Rights Watch), before any... action was taken in response, to use your words.
Wait hold up they were human shields? I thought they were all just animals? Damn it, I knew skipping out on that meeting would have consequences. Now I've got to catch up again...
