But I have something to say that may piss some people off (but tbh, idgaf), why are we looking to celebrities for answers during These tragic events?. I’ve seen lots of posts on Instagram about how x celebrity didn't say anything about how they support Palestine so they must support Israel… just because they don’t say anything doesn’t mean they don’t support Palestine. Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t block the people who have come out and said they support Israel, gladly do that but like we need to stop looking at celebrities like they know everything. IMO anyone with a massive platform like Lana or Taylor or whoever has the moral responsibility to talk about issues impacting the real world. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DD 522 Posted May 11 I believe all artist should be talking about this and showing support to palestine but genuine question because I’ve been racking my brain about this and would love to hear everyone’s thoughts here. Will political leaders actually listen? and more so, will Israel actually listen if these political leaders actually go against them? I guess my main question is, apart from awareness what impact is it making? Maybe if they asked fans to donate to Palestinian aid etc that would help You can totally call me out if I’m being totally oblivious here on social influence but this is a genuine question looking for something I’m struggling to find online 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don’t think it should be a responsibility for celebrities that’s all. Anyone can disagree if that want but that’s my opinion 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idk if anyone else here has been paying attention to it, but pro-Palestinians and Muslims - who Biden NEEDS to win in some states - have been writing in uncommitted or writing in other people in the Democratic primaries. Biden has to act, if he wants to win again. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cherry Blossom 21,530 Posted May 28 I came home from work and my mum was in tears over videos she had seen of children in Rafah. I’m so angry and horrified by the things that have and continue to take place. It’s so frustrating, why do the USA and U.K. have so much global power when it comes to votes on this. Disgusting. I second what Veinsineon said 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to get all political, but why are we looking to celebrities for answers on foreign conflict? Last time I checked she wasn’t working for The Hague, or any other global powers. So expecting someone who works in her industry to basically be your martyr is just dumb, sorry to say. Lana has been known to do the work before she opens her mouth about advocacy. So maybe she’s sent aid and just didn’t feel the need to disclose it. Who cares? 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think this argument works for Lana since she already decided to get involved by signing political letters. It’s fair for fans to be disappointed in her behavior. Back on topic. I hope there is a clear confirmation about whether Tough is a Lana or Quavo song once it is released. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
