Homeless, Zip-Tied, Hungry: Ilhan Omar's Daughter Recounts Protest Arrest

Stolen from destiny (a woman's name) sub https://old.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/1cb3dvo/from_homeless_left_without_food_to_teen_vogue/

Some info on this foid ( :redlight: instagram links)

I would recommend everyone to browse her instagram to get a glimpse of what her life is like:

https://instagram.com/israhirsi/

Typical activism as an aestetic, privileged oppression role-player. Her entire instagram is a carefully curated advertisement to set her up as a future politician or professional activist/shit stirrer.

Some highlights:

Before this, she was featured 3 times in vogue, starting when she was only 15 in 2018.
She has been a speaker at many events and even had her own ted talk.
She had a collab with adidas ... and that at least two times- Don't forget to check out her collection (of course in colab with adidas) but she really hates capitalism
She is a certified coke-drinking zionist
Just a couple weeks ago she was featured in interviewmag

Some hamasabi :marseyturkroach: fans are trying to fight the ultra jew supporting ddg

You just know this woman hasn't had to struggle for shit a single day in her life. These people are so cringeworthy.

Only poor people are allowed to struggle

.. to struggle financially? Well yeah dumbass thats how it works.

it's not LMAO

He literally says "financially" ... what part of that don't you understand? "hurr durr no u hurr no it's not durr" - moron.

Not trying to defend her at all (the encampment was dumb and this article seems dumb), but before getting elected to the House, was the Omar family well off?

SOCIALISM IS WHEN NO BRAND DEALS

Yeah I don't get what we're supposed to be outraged over either. Like wow she got interviewed and had a bottle of coke in one picture. Am I supposed to get mad over that? OP also is a brand new account less than a month old, less than 5 posts/comments too.

This thread is sitting at the bottom

Hang on, why are those mutually exclusive? Are you saying that having an article made about not being able to enter your home negates being unable to enter your home, like publicity somehow cancels it out?

No, that's not what OP is saying. The framing of the stories' headlines suggesting a harrowing experience whose severity might be exaggerated is the problem. Her story was immediately publicized and her "struggle" turned into a photoshoot. She is a well-off child of a US government official. Any hardship that her protest resulted in can be mitigated. She isn't wandering the streets bumming cigarettes and searching for her next meal.

THEN ITS ALL :#marseylongpost2: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

THE SOMALIS ARE NOT IMPRESSED OR ARE THEY?

https://old.reddit.com/r/Somalia/comments/1camitt/ilhan_omars_daughter_isra_hirsi_is_worried_about/

Keep in mind that both her mother, father and step-father have multiple properties, Rep Omar has a $174K salary (and fringe benefits) and her step-father has made millions in political consulting and her father Ahmed Hirsi appears to be doing well financially.

Any of them can pay for her hotel, pay for train/plane tickets to get them to their multiple properties, pay for a hotel in NYC and I bet she has enough money in her checking account/credit card to take an Uber from NYC to Washington DC.

In short...she is lucky to be privileged (not her fault, and happy for her). But look what she says and the write-up about her (To her credit, she's standing up for Gaza, but she has very little to lose as a Teen Vogue, Nike and other companies' active/brand darling):

Despite the legal trouble, she said she was chiefly concerned about where she would spend the night.

“When I got to 1 Police Plaza, my roommates had brought me a bag of clothes because they knew that I was likely evicted,” she said. “We were reading our email and it said we had 15 minutes to go get our shit if we wanted it, and we'd have to go with a public safety escort.”

“I was like, ‘I'm not going to do that.' But I was a little bit frantic, like, ‘Where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go?'” she continued. “And also all of my shit is thrown in a random lot. It's pretty horrible.”

Hirsi is effectively barred from entering campus during her suspension, a punishment only levied against Barnard students, she claimed.

“I don't know when I can go home, and I don't know if I ever will be able to,” she said. “I haven't formally been evicted. I haven't been sent a ‘move out' email, but they've just said that I can't get in, whatever that means.”

“I have like four shirts, two pairs of pants. Only Barnard students are evicted, and I think it's pretty crazy,” she continued.

Days after the suspension, food was also a concern.

“I cannot go to the dining hall. I sent them an email like, ‘Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my dining plan,' and they were like, ‘Oh, you can come pick up a prepackaged bag of food,' a full 48 hours after I was suspended,” Hirsi said. “There was no food support, no nothing.”

But this feller was :marseydownvote: d to heck

On the other hand #RealSomalis are happy

Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, is among several Barnard students who have been suspended for participating in a pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia University

proud to know a somali is standing up against the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the people of Palestine

The power #those ppl have is actually scary.

Real, more power to her 💯

She has a good head on her shoulders. Risking losing what she has for standing up for what's right. Great to see people like that. She's been very vocal as well. They're saying she's a ham*s supporter. 😂😂😂 these ppl are crazy. Wonder how far they'll go with this

A RANDOM NO GOODER POSTS WRONG THINK (WARNING GOOGLE DOCS, XITTER LINKS)

And I'm just going to copy/paste my comment from a little while ago before people start saying "being anti-war is not being antisemitic"

For posterity, here's some of the examples of extremism within the activist movement at Columbia. This goes beyond "pro-Palestinian advocacy" into calls for, and actual, violence.

Note, there are varying degrees of it being individuals vs. the group, but these are the type of people in the crowd there and many of them are indeed group chants. I have also set aside some widespread ones (from the river to the sea) that are disputed in character. That said, many many many of these are coming from large groups of students within the main quad (which has been locked down to only students/professors)

Candidly some sources are not great in terms of me agreeing with the viewpoint of the tweeter, but they contain relevant and real video:

And as a reminder, the student groups organizing these protests (CUAD and SJP, among others) released a letter on October 9th in support of the 10/7 attacks. ("We stand in full solidarity with Palestinian resistance", "Despite the odds against them, Palestinians launched a counter-offensive against their settler-colonial oppressor", "We wholeheartedly condemn the email sent [...] on October 8th that [...] obfuscated Palestinian resistance as “terrorism”)
