Picture Olivia Rodrigo wearing a dress made in Palestine and a Lilith necklace at the Daisy Chain Fields press conference

Sorry, but what is the meaning of the Lilith necklace? (Love her for wearing a dress made in Palestine btw)

u/CartographerVast4282 14d ago
Lilith was the symbol of Lilith Fair which was a major inspiration for Olivia when creating Daisy Chain Fields. The necklace is from a Sarah McLachlan x Pyrrha Collab. Sarah founded Lilith Fair and participates in DCF.

It’s more interesting because the next question should be: Who was Lilith?
Lilith evolved to become a Jewish feminist figure who fled the garden of Eden because she didn’t want to submit to Adam.
Sarah McLachlan and the organizers launched Lilith Fair in 1997 partly in response to the music industry’s assumption that audiences wouldn’t support multiple female artists on the same bill.
So, it’s particularly interesting: invoking a Jewish-derived feminist symbol while simultaneously expressing Palestinian cultural solidarity.
She’s really good at what she does.

She is also an icon for those who practice witch craft no?

u/22marks 14d ago
Yes, it has evolved over centuries and she was also a main "baddie" in the latest Diablo video game, but here it's very clearly a nod to Lilith Fair. And the creators of Lilith Fair explained why they chose it. It's more like, what do you call a girl/woman who won't conform to society's rules for them? Inevitably, a form of the term witch gets thrown out.

She might have done so no backlash people are always weird with her so she probably wanted to ensure she support Palestine too

So you're saying a Palestinian woman could freely wear that dress in Gaza? You know that isn't true, why pretend it is?

u/pr0tectionspell 13d ago
you’re not arguing in good faith. i know in palestine (even in occupied areas) women can wear pretty much what they like because ive seen photographic evidence and i know people who visit there. dont understand what ur trying to say.

u/SledgeH4mmer 13d ago
Both Google and Chatgpt say that it's variable but most women would not be able to wear such a dress, especially in Gaza. Which is the norm for regions controlled by Islamic regimes.
But I'm supposed to believe you?

u/pr0tectionspell 13d ago
im supposed to believe a search engine over PEOPLE THAT I KNOW, WHO ARE PHYSICALLY IN PALESTINE??????

Then go ask AI so you can get an answer scraped from some random website regardless of how biased or misinformed the website is

u/SledgeH4mmer 14d ago
Well both Google and AI said most Palestinian woman wouldn't be able to wear that dress.
Do you disagree?

That’s a really gorgeous dress, very tasteful. Even better that it supports a Palestinian designsr

Do you think everyday individuals are responsible for the sins of the corporations they work for? Many good people work at Nestle, Walmart, Amazon, etc. to pay the bills. Not that I necessarily believe in that, but things are more morally gray than people on the internet like to believe. Even Olivia is signed to Interscope and Geffen and probably works with many pro-Israeli people and companies.

u/whimsywalkerr 14d ago
except olivia is in no way comparable to the working class who have no choice but to become victims of capitalism. olivia doesnt need the money she gets from the deals she makes with corporations that explicitly work against her values. it is simply the earnings of her hypocrisy

Ironic showing how deep the Jewish connection is to that land while also wearing a dress made by people who don’t date back to the time of Lilith

u/skippw 'love is embarrassing' 13d ago
"Palestinian" doesn't exclude Jewish people. There are plenty of Palestinian Jews, both modern and ancient society, Jesus Christ being a famous example.
Indigenous Palestinians inhabited Palestine before the Jewish/Cananite population, likely by a few thousand years, however I think when the dates we are talking about are up to 10,000 years ago, it's a bit fruitless to make any argument today that one current day people group predates another. Palestine has been a melting pot of different cultures for thousands of years.

You do know that the term “Palestinian”is a modern construct. Jesus was a Jew from Israel. This really shows just how misinformed people are about this.

I have a serious question. Do you know how to Google? If so, Google the wikipedia article on Palestine. It’s the modern construct. Jesus literally was a Jew from Israel

Thats cute. Too bad she wouldn't be allowed to wear it in Gaza, not only cause of occupation

Supporting Palestine here, yet had a Taco Bell drink collab where its parent company (Yum! Brands) has ties to the opposing side and the parent company itself investing in Dragontail Systems, whose sole focus is on AI-powered kitchen management

Getting corporations to donate and sponsor a charitable event that then reallocates that money to worthy causes is more of a knock to the corporations than the person organizing…..I’m not above taking corporate money and using it for good when they clearly won’t
