Any attempt to join any particular side of this conflict looks very funny and ridiculous (with the exception of politicians and religious fanatics)

What really is hilarious is your coward centrist stance actually. You'd think footage of Palestinians being burned alive and children being decapitated by Israel would make it clear which side is committing the genocide here but I guess some of y'all would rather be blind and 'neutral' than take an actual stance for once. Congrats on being part of the problem though.

Honestly I think she’s walking on a very thin line because I’m sure she grew up around prominent Jewish people around her. Also, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t her man Jewish, too? It’d be in her best interest to continue taking a smart road and remaining silent. 

Speaking against Israel does not mean a person hates Jews

Are we tone deaf?
Keep sweeping it under the mat
Thought we could do better than that
I hope we can

Even Freddy reposted that All Eyes on Rafah post on IG. I think we can safely assume where Gaga lies on this issue, I do still think she’s bound from speaking publicly due to being a direct member of the white house though.

Im tired of people demanding for public speaking from Gaga.
 

We don’t know what she does in private. She is circling around billionaires and influential Jewish people. She is also close to Joe Biden. She could be speaking in the back without entering in public conflict and have a way bigger impact than any Katy Perry tweet.

please don’t forget when she raised 10s of millions during covid and we were not aware of it

Katy also immediately spoke in support of Israel following the massacre committed by Hamas, so it’s different.
 

If Gaga, or anyone, just now decides to speak about the conflict without ever having addressed what Hamas did, it would come off as if they don’t value Israeli lives.

Being jewish ≠ being a zionist

We were almost immediately aware of it. Lol

Being in close circles with “influential Jewish people” doesn’t mean you can’t speak out against what’s going on here. 

[PaulaMonster13 1,016]

I wonder just to what point she's required to remain silent about it bc of being a part of the government...

For someone who has always supported the marginalized and fought for injustices, her silence is getting deafening. And I can't help but feel a bit disappointed.

What I mean is she is close to powerful people and might advocate in private.

Some fans expect too much from Mother Monster.  
I think Gaga's team, and herself, care about her reputation. In this situation, it would be right to be quiet and keep your head down. Be wise and cunning.

Not sure that's even really necessary when the president himself stops arms from being sent to Israel when US intelligence discovers US bombs were being dropped on innocent civilians.

Or...at least he tried to but was only able to stop one shipment, I believe, before being overridden by congress 

OT: Sweet of her but I still don't know exactly what a pop star's take on this particular issue is worth unless she's actively mobilizing her fans to vote out Republicans and elect progressives...which, she isn't

The conflict between Israel and Palestine is extremely complex. Katy chose to support the Palestinians, this is her right. Regarding Gaga, I am glad that she remains neutral and does not speak out about this conflict. 

I’m not expecting Gaga to say anything, but Being Neutral is worse than not saying anything at all tbh.

I’m begging for an age restriction on this forum. 
 

Being a centrist on any issue is a persons right. You don’t have to take sides in every god damn thing! Whether it’s human rights or something frivolous, people can step back if they feel like they can’t be apart of a solution. Nothing Gaga could do would help lead to a solution. Take your anger out on people who can. Like the leaders who are suppose to represent the views of their constituents.
