Should JK Rowling comment about everything on the planet?

As stated before, I do not go onto Twitter as much. Bluesky is so much nicer, quieter, but is a much nicer place to post.  

I have noted though that many have said that JK Rowling is wrong not to speak out about the execution of Renee Nicole Good.   But today, I watched a video from Novara Media commenting how she did not speak out against the war in Gaza.  

The thing is, JK Rowling did comment about the conflict referring to 'snivelling apologists for rape and murder' but there is a reason why Novara Media may not discuss that. Notably because of the crimes of Hamas against women in the attack. Some have denied that this happened but Hamas has form when it comes to discrimination.

Women's rights in Gaza have been curtailed under Hamas, an example of this is how the UN marathon was cancelled due to Hamas banning women taking part in it.

I did agree with the essay JK Rowling wrote about women and segregated spaces.  I do not agree with some of her views on this matter now as I think that she has been radicalised.  But she has been vocal in speaking out about women's rights in Afghanistan, Iran and also in the USA.  I challenge anyone to say otherwise.
