And what if it was a "publicity stunt"?
A "publicity stunt" against genocide is still a lot more than what the thoroughly-complicit BBC has done.

a publicity stunt is still activism though. the idea is to force Isreal to attack EU citizens or break the famine.
don't let accusations of virtue signaling ever cast doubt on a move like this. propoganda is the only thing that prevents you from effectively shielding others with your own life.
They always claim that anyone caring about others is “virtue signalling”
Frankly, I don't see any big problem with virtue signaling when it's actually a virtue, and you live up to it. If it draws attention to a truly just cause that needs attention, then signal away!
Virtue signaling is that stupid term that is used to shut down a discussion when the guy who say it no longer have any valid argument
I wouldn't go that far because it is often a justified claim. For example, it's accurately used for things like people who display ostentatious Christian symbols, but who obviously don't follow the teachings of their own professed religious inspiration.
Christian symbols, but who obviously don't follow the teachings of their own professed religious inspiration.
It could be called religious extremism or religious hypocrisy or simply hypocrisy those are well defined word unlike term like virtue signaling and the way conservatives use of the term woke
Those terms describe their actions. Virtue signaling describes their choice of displays.
If you call every term bigots use to shut down discussions stupid, you might as well stop using words entirely.
She has consistently acted for the good of others
Claims that it's a publicity stunt are pathetic, but sadly, people who want to believe it will do so
As others are saying, even if it was a publicity stunt, they're still putting their life on the line for Gaza trying to force Israel to break. Just that in and of itself is commendable.
Wankers called her a “spoiled child”
My father would rant about her
I asked him why he found a young woman trying to make the world a better place after his generation fucked everything so threatening
He's a fucking idiot who gets all his politics from talk back radio
