    And how are they attempting to affect that change? Publicity. Even if you read it most favorably to your point it still doesn’t change anything because she’s invited to these things at this point specifically because of the weirdos that started hating her when she was a literal child voicing her opinion will get upset and it will make headlines.

      By bringing awareness and support to their cause. If it’s left in the dark then Israel can do whatever the fuck they want without repercussion. She’s invited to them because she’s known. And I’m sorry last time I checked people would rather listen to someone with reputation rather than any joe shmoe.

      “Doing things for attention” means attention for yourself. This is for the benefit of something that is not herself. Understand the difference when you say she’s doing it for attention, she is not. “She’s doing it for attention” and “She’s bringing attention to a good cause” are very different sentences.

        That’s an implication not a definition or meaning and that’s not the only meaning anyway.

        How’s she bringing attention? By bringing herself, getting attention for yourself doesn’t necessarily make it a selfish act.

        Be clear, I didn’t say that at all bud the other commentor did.
