Claims She's On Hungerstrike While Holding The World's Largest Slice Of Watermelon 🍉
Ireland has a problem with way overprivelged people who think they're saving the world when they're, in fact, virtue signalling to an excessive, almost pathological degree. To such a degree that it causes fatigue in the public regarding the issues being protested. Also, hungerstriking when you have the plentiful access to food (while the children you protest on behalf of DON'T) isn't the award winning sacrifice you THINK it is.
Hungerstrike can be a valid form of protest. I don't take that right away from anyone. But please remember those children would do anything for that watermelon or for the other options you have in terms of accessing food. You're NOT engaging in solidarity. It makes a mockery of their hunger when you pretend you are actually going to engage in a hunger strike as you stand there with a massive watermelon.
The problem with going hungerstrike is that you have to follow through with it. Until you DIE. Not eating for a day, or three or a week is NOT hungerstrike.
My comments here are NOT about approval or disapproval of the issues being protested, but rather about the detachment from reality and from the suffering she claims to care about.
If she really wants to help children in Palestine, then maybe she can, but this stunt is not it. She will be home in her cosy bed with a full belly by tomorrow at the latest. I feel people like this belittle what they're fighting for because this is all just empty theatrics. She would be better off going to the Cappuchin Day Centre and feeding the homeless. It would be more meaningful than this farcical pretence. She also makes the mistake of thinking the government cares whether she eats or not.
Btw, for anyone who cares to know, I don't approve of the death of any civilian anywhere, especially not children (and that's my right). There's also children dying in the Democratic Republic of Congo 🇨🇩, Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Syria 🇸🇾 right now at the hands of ISIS.
Gang rapes, beheading, being set on fire. No one is mentioning that, so I will mention it here (because they are Christians its not mentioned. I also don't approve of starving children in Palestine, nor do I approve of Hamas having taken children hostage or murdering them either.
I don't approve, I don't approve, I don't approve...of the death of ANY child.
But I also don't approve of BS "hunger strikes" either.
Just so there's no confusion.
