"A Stolen Narrative" (socialcommentary.quora.com/A-Stolen-Narrative)
TLDR:
To make a long story short, there is an individual on Quora, who I previously had no connection to, that has taken to intimidating me by means of imitating me. This individual uses a history of persecution of Jewish people to evoke empathy, and to distract from the fact that she is imitating me. This individual habitually does so in a way that maintains plausible deniability of her actions.
I have recently reported her behavior to Quora staff, who say she is not in violation of Quora policies and since then, her behavior has not changed. Consequently, I have taken it upon my self to leave Quora because they are protecting her and her behavior.

My stalker* is at it again.
Because this woman has such a good life, she can’t help but to steal the narrative of a Mexican American Jew to evoke sympathy for her unjust cause.
Her recent answer:
Because they are peaceful people who are being ruthlessly persecuted, and Israel has some deep scars from being a persecuted minority themselves. Hence, we support the underdog in the conflict.

Recently, I have come forward with my support for Palestinians in the Isreali-Palestinian conflict.
As someone who isn’t seen of value in mainstream U.S. society, it would be hypocritical of me not to support the overwhelmingly outnumbered and under-supported Palestinians. This is a line of reasoning that far from applies to her own set of experiences.
This line of reasoning is only an imitation of my answers (see sample below) and narratives created by my upvotes:
You see, the media seems to have this OBSESSION with taking Hispanic women down a notch every opportunity it gets-that is, when it even cares to acknowledge our existence at all (1,2). Hispanic women are the most sexualized and objectified of any ethnic and gender combination in U.S. media (1).
It is largely considered socially acceptable to dehumanize us in ways that would be considered abhorrent to others, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s because we’re an easy target and tend not to fight back as a model minority that believes in peace (3).
That being said, media and political provocateur Ben Shapiro is no exception to that. Shapiro cares more for “winning” (and by extension showcasing Cortez as a “loser”), than engaging in a sincere meeting of the minds.

She has also recent re-shared a post that I have recently upvoted:

Due to the fact that Quora has chosen to side with this unscrupulous individual, who has stalked me and imitated my material for months, I have found that the best option is for me to leave. Due to the fact that her virulent behavior is allowed as a consequence of a loophole in the system and the Quora staff and admin are willing to tolerate antisemitism (which I will elaborate further on an upcoming post), and harassment, insofar as it operates under the heading of Zionism, this situation has indicated to me that this is an environment inherently structured to disenfranchise a select few undesired voices.
Despite the fact that I have decided to leave, there is no doubt that she will continue to do what she has done for all these months- as she did during my brief absence on Quora. She will continue to paint herself as the victim for stalking me and looking through my answers to create a narrative she claims to be her own. She wants to imitate my empathic perspective of the world, because she lacks it in herself. If that weren’t the case, then she would prematurely show guilt for her actions. Guilt and shame are emotions she has talked about, but not demonstrated. Some have gone so far as to say that I should “build a better narrative” based on what she has written. My response to that is, How can I do that when she is literally claiming my narrative as her own?
For those who are skeptical, I invite you to read my timeline of activity and answers alongside hers, and I guarantee you will that any skepticism regarding this woman’s behavior will be eradicated. In this circumstance, I highly recommend that you look to this woman's actions and not her words. And look at her “reasoning”, as it does not operate in the basis of a consistent narrative (because bits and pieces were taken from my own) or for the greater good.
To the individuals who have stood by and defended this woman either willfully or out of ignorance of her level of depravity: you should be ashamed of self. Her desire to steal from those who have only wanted to support her and her movement, show an individual who truly does not care for the weak or downtrodden, but justifying the abuses of some at the expense of the weaker. The woman speaks on the basis of hardship and loss for the people she claims to protect, but at the expense of those who have the least. This is not empathy. This is not justice. And it most certainly does not create a freer, more peaceful environment for world Jewry to exist.
During the remainder of my time here at Quora, I will wrap up my time with a post on the the conditions that have forced me to leave and a few closing thoughts.
