We need to stop conflating criticism of the current genocide against Palestine as criticism against all Jews or all Israelis. Frankly that’s so bad faith and I question the credibility of anyone who used that argument. It’s like saying all Palestinians are Hamas. It’s disgusting

i don't understand this block list bullsh*it, why not press our senators and political leaders instead of beefing with.....*checks notes*..... pop stars?! 

it's so performative and wont actually change anything

I'm all for boycotts and putting my money towards something that doesn't support Israel but what does this actually do???

I agree with this. If Gaga lost 100% of her followers it would have 0% impact on the war. Same goes for any pop star. I saw a TikTok saying we need to cancel Charli, Troye and Shygirl for going on tour together and not saying anything about Palestine yet. It makes no sense to me why this is the call to action.

I mean, Gaga grew up in Manhattan with a lot of Jewish friends. Her current boyfriend Michael is also Jewish. Not sure why people would expect her to be against Israel. 

Israel doesn’t represent Jews across the world. What Israel and its government are doing now has nothing to do with religion or ethnicity, and I think most logical people can see that. I’m sure Gaga wouldn’t be supporting Israel right now, Jewish friends or not.

Not exactly. There was a Gaga fan who made a similar tiktok recently and it got a lot of views.

Besides this, I have seen a bunch of them with 100K+ views calling for her to be blocked because she isn’t using her platform to speak out/raise awareness. 
Whether she wants to speak out or not, she probably is contractually not allowed to weigh in on particularly divisive topics, in the lead up to Joker

people should use this energy in political figures that actually have the power in the world

Most of people and specially on tik tok were really aware of Israel actions until 2023, The general narrative before was never ending conflicts in the middle eastern, barely any person had interest in what was going on, how can they cancel Gaga for those claims when she went to give a concert and she said what she says in every city she sings :interestinga:

What's important is now, she's not an full-time activist as much as many fans love her and want her to be everything, there are countless conflicts in the world how can we expect specially her to talk about every single one when she's mostly absent from social media

However she's not exempt from any criticism, she had become the celebrity who sings at political events and say shallow compliments when she used to criticise their politics and demand changes like the don't ask don't tell law :whitney: 

I agree the celebs are just a screen of wealth, colectivelly we should go to the real responsibles, politicians and heads of companies

Bingo. And I weirdly didn’t see much animosity thrown at Russians at large whenever the Ukraine War started. Not trying to be messy, just an observation

I’m seeing so many people run with these comments and try to act as if they were recent. Don’t they care that misrepresenting the “evidence” undermines their claim?

That means nothing though.

Yeah, I have friends who are New York Jews who literally went on birthright trips to Israel who still support Palestinian liberation, so not sure why this user thinks those things are correlated.
