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

Movies can reveal deeper universal truths than most people can even comprehend. From the moment I first heard of you on the democratic stage, I knew this world was not ready for the type of leadership you were bringing to the table. Spiritual awareness is far beyond their ego

We are less humane for not having your voice on the national stage as we did for a few moments, guiding the conversation to places no one else would dare take it, where you simply live. You won over this pseudo intellectual.

I think they're making fun of the fact that you are using a James Cameron memefilm to relate too complicated geopolitical issues that are honestly not really related. Still probably based somewhat in misogyny but the clip looks pretty funny out of context
Replying to @marwilliamson
Mocking you indicates that you are hitting nerves. You are brave enough to step outside the box and see a different way of looking at the problem. Easy target for the pathologically jaded humans who protect the status quo. Gotta keep those gun sales up, and oppress Palestine.
