What a shameful moment for

Diaspora, it’s irresponsible to unleash “hot takes” without research on the context and history of your home country. Don’t impose your half-narratives over the lived experience of others. Repeating populist rhetoric without understanding backstory is a privilege. Check it.

If you have no connection to Afghanistan,or the impact of the Taliban era,or witnessed the blowback & consequent U.S. invasion in your own country with the blood of thousands OR spoken to any Afghan women about what they’ve gone thru,then I strongly advise more listen less talk.

Among other things, someone must really hate women to be defending this bunch. But then if you're someone who already has a history of reposting tweets calling women journalists "presstitutes", sexualizing and degrading them....
A nice big hearty fuck you to the Diagolon guys who took a picture of me while I walked home from getting a tattoo and shared my exact location in their chat!
Very cool and normal behaviour from very cool and normal people!

For those victim blaming & touting the “bewaqoof awaam” narrative, I hope you understand that reeks of your privilege & elitism.Tourism spots with known extreme weather conditions, anywhere in the world,are supported through safety/rescue & pre-alert infrastructure. -1/4

I'm going to say a little odd to mention how the online harassment has particularly affected women of colour and then name only white women in the column. I hope we can stop seeing "women of colour" as some kind of invisible token collective & start thinking of them as actual ppl

This episode is dedicated to brave phenomenal journalists who stood with us even as they faced immediate repercussions and threats no g emails of their own and those who’ve been on the receiving end of a systemic hate campaign and yet do their job like it ain’t a thing. -contd

I’m a little curious
@ryanjespersen
why you thought she should be expected to speak for Hamas? Is it normal protocol to hold another population hostage in retribution & collectively punish an entire ethnonational group for the horrific crime committed by a militant organization?
I was describing how Israeli settlers & soldiers are increasingly attacking my family & other Palestinians right now, only to be interrupted by
@ryanjespersen
& asked whether I condemn the taking of Israeli hostages. He also slandered me as non-peaceful.

That is not correct Stuart, and a really bad framing of what happened or this individual.

Some might say this is how the public humiliation and cred damage of a Muslim woman continues with no apparent backing from those who appointed and put her in this position. Where was the preemptive strategy to tackle the backlash the ruling party would have known was coming?
In a meeting with the Bloc Leader, Amira Elghawaby apologized for previous remarks she made, including criticizing Quebec's religious symbols ban for public servants.
"I'm extremely sorry for the way that my words have been carried and how they have hurt the people of Quebec."

@vicderbyshire
is a class act and a true role model. Calm, respectful and armed with facts, she does not let up in her questioning of Israeli govt spokesperson
