    I don’t think a reputable publication would post hate speech verbatim, even if it’s from someone else. There might be an archive somewhere?

      Not true. They post hate speech from right wing politicians verbatim all the time.

      As for the tweets being somewhere else, it seems that it’s this:

      Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal

      To the inattentive and/or wilfully misinterpreting, that might come off as an endorsement of Hamas as “freedom fighters”, but note that she doesn’t mention Hamas by name and that Hamas aren’t usually the ones filming any of their atrocities.

      Add her clarification from a few days later and it’s clear she’s talking about regular people filming the atrocities of the Israeli oppressors and isn’t referring to terrorism at all, unless you define it broadly enough to include the Israeli state terrorism:

      I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is [inciting] spread of violence," she said. "I specifically said freedom fighters because that’s what the Palestinian citizens are… fighting for freedom every day

      As I suspected, she didn’t do what they said she did. She just had the temerity to speak up against the apartheid regime.

          apartheid wall that has plagued Palestinians and ruined their agricultural lands for years and years is a big no-no.

          Not to mention thousands being forced to go through military checkpoints to reach the nearest schools and hospitals, if they’re lucky enough to even be allowed to pass.
