@sharonudasin As a fellow reporter, the fact you’d even consider an assignment like this disgusts me. Dozens dead & “How are people’s pets?”

@rorymackinnon Looking at your tweet timeline, I can see that you are in no way an objective journalist.

@sharonudasin I know what news is, and when children are dying it sure as hell isn’t a disgruntled goddamned Pomeranian. #Gaza

@rorymackinnon What would you be write about if your beat was environment/agriculture/water/animals/energy? Just take a few days off?

@sharonudasin how about whether the strikes on farmland in #Gaza may affect food supply? I shouldn’t have to tell you your job!

@rorymackinnon Yesterday I wrote about strikes on Israeli farmland. I would love to interview Gazan farmers but none have responded to me.

@sharonudasin how about Sharon’s call in your own paper yesterday to cut power to the whole strip, “energy reporter”? Do your job!

@rorymackinnon thats not news, thats an opinion. and there are opinions from both sides in the paper.

@sharonudasin Funny, there’s 20834 reporters on Google News who think an ex-PM’s son publicly calling for war crimes in a national paper is.

@sharonudasin “Gilad Sharon has called to cut all power/fuel in Gaza. What would that mean for the innocents? We investigate.” NOT THAT HARD

@sharonudasin races up to a crowd outside a gutted media building in #Gaza. A man is burned head to foot. “Sir, sir! Do you have a dog?”

@sharonudasin stalks the wards of Shifa hospital in #Gaza. “Doctor, with all these people injured or dead, who will feed their cats?”

“Dear @sharonudasin, I fear bombing #Gaza‘s infrastructure would cut our water supply & my hamster may die of dehydration. Also my family.”

@rorymackinnon I really wouldn’t want you to be my tutor.

What right do you have, as someone who hasn’t experienced day-to-day life in Israel, to tell her how to do her job? How self-righteous. Quick, everyone listen to the white man in his safe privileged haven! He will show us the way!
FFS, she’s an animals reporter. You know nothing about what else she reports on. She’s allowed to do a piece on pets.
She’s literally a white woman in a privileged white settler state that is encroaching on the Palestinians.
