The actual fact of the matter is she declined a request from one company, who then decided that she was cancelling being jewish so they were gonna cancel her instead.

She should never, ever, release a statement and it'll drive them all mad.

If she really wants to boycott Israel shouldn't she prevent her book being published in the US?

One of the replies to yer man's tweet about Rooney was along the lines of "but why did she write in in English then" which I think is less of a gotcha than the tweeter thought it was.

Like, is she actually just thick? Absolutely stupid and couldn't see what was happening? Or is this an age thing? People under, say, 50 see something controversial online and go "hmm, maybe i'll fact check this before reacting out loud to it" but she never learnt to do that?

I know people on here have talked about how she was a breath of fresh air 20-25 years ago in the Guardian but looking at this and either she's a very bad faith actor, an idiot, or just quite old and lost on the internet.

Anyway, fair play to Brendan "child of Irish peasant-stock" O'Neill, his ability to churn out a few thousand words of pompous faux-outraged nonsense in record time only for it to immediately be out of date is remarkable

Sally Rooney and the bigotry of the BDS movement

Vintage O'Neill

In my many visits to Ireland, I have often noted an unsettling hostility towards Israel among leftists and others. The old religious view of Jewish culpability for the death of Christ seems to mingle with the modern hip aversion to the state of Israel, giving rise to a political position on the Jewish State that feels shady, to say the least.

to say the least!

The woke cancel culture mob being stoked up by Brendan O'Neill when he calls Rooney's freely taken actions "profoundly problematic" is a real sign that free speech is not respected by such virtue-signalling hypocrites and never was. Spiked? More like Sp-WOKEd

"If it's true"

He goes on to say that even if it's not true it's still true SO THERE.

100% would have supported apartheid in South Africa, actually hold on i'm gonna go check the website and see if he's found a way of saying it's still good.
