Israel's genocide of Palestinians and war on the Middle East

I don’t think Billie ever made a statement in writing. She just wore a pin at the Oscar’s. 

The pin represented a call for a ceasefire though, and she wore it during her Oscar speech which was one of the biggest moments of her career. I know that it’s the bare minimum but at least she did something. Even if you don’t want to use Billie as an example, there is Melanie Martinez who is in the middle of an arena tour and about to headline a major festival. She is always posting about Palestine.

ben follows orgs like Jewish Voice for Peace and ifnotnow and engaged posts advocating for Gaza so I don't think its them that's holding her back. I agree it feels stupid on her part to stay silent since she has propped herself up in the past to speak out especially having songs like Coachella,  or Looking for America. She even posted about Ukraine once. Taylor really never comments on politics besides the US election and she has a huge PR team as well as being in the middle of a major tour so it's less expected from her. a lot of lana's friends and people she works with are Palestinian or have been outspoken about this so it just feels weird. And after the massacre a few days ago I saw lots of posts coming from people I wasn't expecting--Jack, Aaron dessner, Finneas, Ariana grande, etc. this is just a huge tragedy in the world happening right now and the tides and public opinion really are turning and it would be really surprising if Lana was not a part of that

i just saw zara larsson’s IG story and I 100% agree that the reason why we should be begging for artists and celebrities to speak up is to put “PRESSURE ON OUR POLITICIANS”

 

it’s clear that the majority of those who want their favs to speak up only want them to so they can feel good about stanning them and so their fav doesn’t get any hate. you can see it on here and all over stan twitter you can see people arguing with one another and bragging about their fav showing public support. i feel that pleading with celebrities to speak up to make an impact within politics and pressure those who can make a change is really impactful, but to just have them only speak put by posting a little IG story and nothing more is just really stupid and performative. every time this thread is hot, it’s because of lana or some other celebrity, not over new news

Yall make me sick.

Take your annoying whiny wokeness somewhere else, i'm not saying nobody cares about Palestine; i'm saying no on cares about trying to cancel celebrities for not supporting it just because they haven't posted about it on their social media. You should try focusing that energy on something more productive and not on a light hearted lanaboards thread about Lasso

and the two most powerful politicians in question are either awaiting jury deliberations to see if they go to jail or currently struggling to remember which century it is 🪦💀 it’s so over.

Personally I don’t believe in forcing people to post on social media about issues, especially if they are not super knowledgeable about them. That being said, it would be nice to see lana post about ways to donate to different organizations. I think just posting pray for Palestine type of posts come off really performative it’s turning this into some type of weird online contest. It doesn’t do anything productive other than bully others and point fingers instead of listening, educating and helping the people that are actually in need. Posting about ways to donate and educating yourself actually make a difference, those are the things people should focus on. not this “who’s fav has posted on their story/ said more” game. it’s ridiculous this is a genocide not a stan war. How do we even know lana hasn’t donated to Palestine? If she did post about donating, people would call her performative or would say she didn’t donate enough and call it a tax write off.
People will never be happy either way. 
 

anyways speaking of donating, this account called the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund has been going around insta and if you have the means to support I suggest helping ♡︎

I agree, people act like the world never existed before social media, like doing good can only be accounted for if it's public knowledge and bragged about for clout. It's funny because i bet good money that the chronically online crybabies who get so upset over things like this and try to cancel everybody have probably done absolutely nothing themselves except maybe the occasional "pray for palestine" posts to satisfy their ego

Can someone change the name of this thread its not a war its a genocide, two diff things smh 

I wonder if i can do that as the OP. Clearly when I started the thread I didn't really know this is what was objectively happening.

 

Edit: OK let me know if I can make it any more accurate

I don't think this was a good idea.

I mean, even if it's true, the thread had to be called "Hamas terrorist attack and Israel's genocide of Palestinians", but ultimately it's a war between Hamas and Israel

Respectfully, 75% of the planet disagrees.
