Idk her, but what a pretentious way to tell the world she sides with genocide. How do you accept this award based on a book that she says is about a war zone AND then use rhe word “solidarity” several times - but, not with the Palestinian people or other victims of genocide/war?

When people tell you who they are believe them.
