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

You know Avatar was a fantasy movie, right?

Maybe they are simply making fun of you for quoting Avatar in a serious conversation?

We need more voices like yours in this troubled world. They’re surprisingly rare. If that’s naive, then so be it.

I am glad you make good use of Twitter because sometimes I get demoralized by a format that rewards trolling and is a hard place to forward ideas with any dimension or subtlety. It’s especially rough on women. You seem to be able to balance that, and it gives me hope.

I've disagreed with Marianne in the past and probably will in the future. But I have no doubt she is authentic and genuinely cares about the welfare and lives of average folk (and below and above average folk too, everyone). I try not to have heroes, but she comes pretty close.
