J.K. Rowling took to social media to respond to critics of her opposition to a cultural boycott of Israel.

The author of the best-selling "Harry Potter" series wrote two pieces on TwitLonger this week, explaining her reasoning in signing a letter that advocated cross-cultural dialogue instead of a boycott on Israeli cultural goods.

"Speaking purely for myself, I have deplored most of Mr. Netanyahu's actions in office. However, I do not believe that a cultural boycott will force Mr. Netanyahu from power, nor have I ever heard of a cultural boycott ending a bloody and prolonged conflict," Rowling said in her first post. "The sharing of art and literature across borders constitutes an immense power for good in this world."

Rowling went on to point out that the true victims of the boycott would be ordinary Israelis, many of whom supported Palestine and did not vote for Netanyahu. She also noted that boycotts were not being purposed against countries such as Zimbabwe or North Korea, whose leaders are "not generally considered paragons by the international community."

Rowling's second post, titled "Why Dumbledore went to the hilltop," was aimed at those who used the "Harry Potter" books as analogies for the Israel-Palestine conflict, comparing Israelis to Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

In the piece, Rowling referenced a scene in "Deathly Hallows," in which Albus Dumbledore meets with a remorseful Severus Snape and manages to turn him against the villainous Voldemort.

"Dumbledore is an academic and he believes that certain channels of communication should always remain open," Rowling wrote. "It was true in the Potter books and it is true in life that talking will not change willfully closed minds. However, the course of my fictional war was forever changed when Snape chose to abandon the course on which he was set, and Dumbledore helped him do it."

Rowling finished by saying, while she didn't mind people using arguments framed by themes in her literature, she could "only say that a full discussion of morality within the series is impossible without examining Dumbledore's actions, because he is the moral heart of the books. He did not consider all weapons equal and he was prepared, always, to go to the hilltop."
