I stan Sally rooney. Incredibly proud of her. She is the best Writer ever.
Than you stand with a racist
she’s not that good
@@dazzle1545 elaborate. I hate her already so if I can use racism as an argument I'm unstoppable!
read more writers bruh
@@thebasedgodmax1163 She activley supports the terrorist BDS which targets Jews
Now I respect this young writer more 😀❤️
So cool!!
Peace and love from Algeria and Palestine to Mrs Sally and all Irish brothers.🇩🇿🇮🇪🇵🇸
Wish she'd been able to come to Manchester or Liverpool. Glad this was partly filmed though - so that the rest of us could get to see a little of the exclusive event!
You are what love is because you are blessed with beauty, brains & bravery Sally! Rachel Corrie who was crushed to death by a Palestinian home demolishing Israeli bulldozer would be proud of you! They might try to suppress and silence you with the "antisemitic" canard but you're not alone! The disparity between likes & dislikes on every video about you tells it all! 🖤🖤
Writer of humanity
Then humanity is all but lost for there is all but nothing on her written pages... I don't comment with hate, just disbelief!
🌹🌹🌹✨
Well done! Opposing Israel’s policies does not make anyone anti-Semitic, although they would like to associate that term with your actions.
The real antiSemitism is directed at Neturei Karta, B'Tselem, and others.
I’m so proud
@@jondeibe2294The founders of Zionism were quite explicit in their contempt and hatred of religious Jews and of course, given their colonial ambitions, the native Palestinians.
Saudi, China, Russia, Burma, Yemen, Zimbabwe, etc etc.
Her porn is for sale in those countries. Utter BS.
@@brianlopez8855 I agree. Man's inhumanity to man is reprehensible, no matter where it exists.
This video literally doesn't have a single word from Sally Rooney. There's a brief clip where you see her talking but no sound. Weird.
1⭐ Book...
I'm not really convinced.
I'm not Jewish and I'm not even pro-Israel but how can you justify not being OK with having your book translated into Hebrew yet at the same time being fine having it translated into languages of countries where the human rights of women, homosexuals, transexuals, ethnic minorities, and religious minorities are routinely stepped on?
Some coherence (or at least a coherent explanation) would help, otherwise, the anti-semitism claims people are making are believable tbh.
She’s not opposed to it being translated in Hebrew. She’s opposed to the partnership with the company who would translate her work into Hebrew and distribute it. She doesn’t want any Israeli business in occupied Palestine to be benefiting due to her work. There are other people who can translate it into Hebrew and distribute it. If Israel wants her book and that particular company wants to distribute it, then they should probably be encouraging their government to not occupy the land of other people. She’s not saying f you to the entire Israeli community. Just to the partnership with the company that would be responsible for the translation and distribution. It also seems weird to be like “well you’re only standing up for one thing and not others so I oppose your standing up”.
Sally Rooney’s Hate Is the New Normal
It is not easy to convince the Snapchat generation to read books. To do so, you must be a gifted writer and know which buttons to press in young people’s hearts. Sally Rooney, a young Irish author, is that kind of writer. Her first two books have won multiple awards and she is widely regarded as one of the most prominent voices of millennials.
Rooney is also very opinionated. She is a self-proclaimed Marxist and an avid supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement (BDS). In line with her views, she has refused to sell translation rights to Israeli publishers. Because of her notoriety, her decision caused quite a stir. The New York Times stated, “Sally Rooney Declines to Sell Translation Rights to Israeli Publisher.” CNN echoed, “Sally Rooney refuses to sell Hebrew rights for latest book to Israeli publisher, citing political objections,” and other prominent news outlets also reported her decision.
In response, Israel's two largest bookstore chains announced that they would pull all of Rooney's titles from their shelves. This also caused a stir, though not as much. The BBC reported it, as did The Guardian and other British news outlets. Naturally, the Jewish press was all over the case, as well.
I sympathize with the response of the bookstore chains, just as I was in favor of banning other individuals and brands that boycott Israel. At the same time, I understand why they are doing this, and I am glad that it is causing a stir in Israel.
We can look the other way for only so long. At some point, we will have to ask ourselves why the world hates us, and it is better if we do it now than later.
We need to use such incidents constructively. By "constructively," I mean that we should use them as an impetus to return to the roots of our nation, to our fundamental principles of mutual responsibility and brotherly love. These are the building blocks of our nation, and these are the qualities that we lost long ago and for which we were exiled from Israel.
When we were cast as a nation that was to be “a light unto nations,” we were made to reflect the splendor of love of others to the entire world. Long before we gave the world Albert Einstein and Arthur Rubenstein, we gave it “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Granted, we did not quite manage to make it a reality, but the idea itself was, and still is, so novel, so unlike human nature, that to this day it seems undoable.
Still, the world will not leave us in peace until we begin to implement this very legacy we had left to humanity. Indeed, it makes perfect sense to demand that the progenitors of this sublime idea be the first to implement it.
The more the world becomes divided and hostile, the more it needs its opposite - love of others. The more people hate each other, the more they will demand that we love each other, and they will hate us for not doing so and setting an example for the world to follow.
In the near future, numerous celebrities, pundits, and politicians will declare their disapproval of Israel. They will not justify our existence as a sovereign state unless we justify it by setting an example of unity. Nothing else will satisfy them; nothing else will appease their hatred.
