All she really had to say was that condemned the genocide of Palestinians and ended it there. The rest of the hand wringing and couching was completely unnecessary if she wanted to explain her views on Palestine.
Unless the point of her post wasn't to show her solidarity. It was, as usual, and condemnation of the left. It's actually ridiculous to spend so much time justifying Zionism when materially Zionism is supported by the wealthiest countries and the most powerful militaries in the world. When that fact changes, then we can work out what happens to the Israelis in Palestine. Until then, it's moot while the genocide machine is supported in full by the governments of the West.
Condemning the genocide and saying (and probably also giving) money to charity is just an emotional balm to couch that she doesn’t really want to do anything about it.
The thrust of it is that trying is useless and personally bothers her. She knows that her liberal allies in the Democratic Party don’t give a single fuck about Palestine and has thus decided to just be sad about it while chastising people for trying to do anything. She supports Zionism because it is supported by the wealthy, and because it doesn’t affect her directly. She only sticks her neck out even slightly beyond what the wealthy liberal consensus is when it comes to things that personally affect her like transphobia.
People have dug up her super old videos about atheism when she went by another name, and it had Islamophobic shit.
I really don’t think she has any real ideological consistency, islamophobic shit was the wealthy liberal consensus at the time too.
If the wealthy liberal consensus was that Zionism was bad, she would dislike Zionism too. She is just a mindless follower of mainstream consensus justifying her lack of ideological convictions with sophistry ad hoc while feeling smugly superior to the people that do have convictions.
