1/ I’m trending tonight because people are mocking a clip of my conversation with Jim Cameron where I told him about a conversation I had with some peace activists in the Middle East. There’s a line in Avatar about how the Mother does not take sides, just wants to restore balance

2/ I told Jim it was a very powerful moment & people in the room were nodding their heads. I told him that some of them told me they had seen Avatar. So the pseudo-intellectuals are having a hoot about that tonight, that I’m so naïve see, so ridiculous, so wacky & unsophisticated

3/ It’s much like when I said the PM of New Zealand would be my first call as president. “Oh she’s so stupid.” Like when I said we should pay reparations, or see our healthcare system as a sickness care system, or realize the scourge of environmental injustice. Such a silly girl!

4/ Well I have this to say about the Middle East. Our political establishment has not solved the problem, and it will not be solved on the level of the green line or traditional diplomacy or military action. It will only be solved on the level of the heart.

5/ There are people there who know this, who live ever day w/ pain & fear beyond what any of us can imagine. Sincere Muslims, Christians & Jews who do not laugh at the thought that they need a miracle. I do not apologize for telling that story. It’s not ridiculous; it’s important

anyone that has been in the orbosphere since the debates knows you are just doing your thing and the Avatar story wasn't a surprise to me. I thought Avatar was maybe a little derivative and only saw it once but you are right about balance. that situation is a little unbalanced eh

Marianne, people are having fun with the clip but please don't feel mocked. I think it's good natured.

I've never seen someone whose heart is so clearly and fiercely in the right place but whose words are nitpicked to the point of absurdity. Marianne doesn't speak like a pretentious academic or cable news pundit so therefore we have to attack her.

You are rarely wrong. This was not one of those times. You're absolutely right in saying irregardless of the necessary justice palestine deserves people's hearts need to be in the right place, and I think the mockery of you is childish
