An Australian activist has started a petition letter asking liberal actress Emma Watson to spend a week in the nonwhite invader “Calais Jungle” camp to demonstrate how safe she would be.
The activist, identified as “Oscar Izard” from Melbourne, Victoria, started the letter after Watson tweeted a “refugees welcome” hashtag.
The petition letter, posted on Change.org and titled “Spend one week in a Calais migrant camp for feminism (with no bodyguards)” says in its motivation that:
“In order to show how safe current migration is to Europe, particularly regarding the cause of feminism (I reject wholeheartedly the notion that North African and Middle Eastern migrants are unsafe, and rapists), Emma Watson should spend a week’s holiday in a Calais migrant camp, without guards of course, to show how safe, and how pro feminism these migrants are.”
The petition can be found here on the Change.org website.
Watson, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, has also recently declared herself to be a devoted follower of Jewish feminist leader Gloria Steinem, in a number of tweets suggesting people read books written by the longtime activist.
The petition letter therefore cleverly combines all her political positions, and challenges her to have the strength of her convictions to go one week among the criminal hordes in Calais.
She is unlikely to take up the offer. As recently as January 15, 2016, two Dutch filmmakers, trying to make a sympathetic film about the Calais Jungle, were savagely attacked by the nonwhites they were trying to help. The attack, which was captured on film, was subsequently put up on YouTube, although pro-invader activists begged the Dutch team not to, because “it would harm the cause.”
