JK Rowling; my former hero, now silent in the face of real life Voldemort, real life Death Eaters, real life mass slaughter of families... its very sad. Keep writing Owen, keep fighting, keep it up; such an important article. My fav part:

"What does it take for JK Rowling to speak out about the horrors inflicted on Palestinian women? Given her obsession, does Israel need to come out as trans?"

Brilliant.

Great work Owen. And yes, if Israel came out as trans I'm sure JK would be quick to condemn them. You should wear her personal attacks on you as a badge of honour.

Phew! I see what you mean about ADHD. My offspring thick I'm on the spectrum too. Your ripost of J K Rowling was longer than I would do. The deeper question is why she posted an infantile post about you. 1) Was it really her? 2) She hasn't declared her reason. It must be emotional. But My father was in Auschwitz. This make it clear to me that Israel must be stopped from this barbaric and inhuman behaviour. I don't see how Rowling can really be concerned for womens' rights if she is not horrified by mass murder of women and children by sadistic IDF soldiers.

That's the perfect picture to capture her grotesquely inhuman apathy.

Bravo, Owen Jones.

Ps Did you see the clip of the foetus than an Israeli missile fragment had beheaded in the womb.

I presume the mother was also killed outright.

JK Rowling said nothing.

She’s long come to disgust me with her cold position on trans people.
