Canadian poet Rupi Kaur has declined an invitation from the United States White House to attend a Diwali celebration.The India-born poet said she will not attend the dinner, which will be hosted by US Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday evening, due to the Biden administration’s continued support of Israel and its bombardment of Gaza.“I decline any invitation from an institution that supports the collective punishment of a trapped civilian population—50% of whom are children,” she wrote in a statement posted on social media.
