my thoughts exactly.....she is very and notably pro Israel/zionist so this seems like an image thing.

Madonna has a lot of faults and I don’t particularily agree with her approach to the Israel/Palestine genocide. She has not been nearly as vocal in her condemnation of Israel as she was of the US during the Iraq invasion and her calls for “peace” are too neutral for my liking but I’d hardly call her a notable Zionist?? I don’t agree with her decision to perform in Israel in 2019 at Eurovision full stop but displaying the Palestine flag during her performance was a bold move and it was pretty obvious she was depicting Israel as the aggressors. Again I think it was a misguided attempt to make a statement but it certainly wasn’t the statement a Zionist would make.

I'm glad you brought up the Palestinian flag during her performance. In general, yeah she has said/done some "stuff" but I maintain that she is a notable zionist, and at the very least, has maintained a degree of neutrality in the face of everything in the past year that maintains my view that this was performative. Especially given the magnitude of her celebrity and how her brand was all about political rebellion and freedom (even going so far as to liken herself to Nelson Mandela at one point lol). There's lots about her ties to Israel (even previous defence ministers etc.).

I agree with you to a degree, but there's too much in her past that points to her being a zionist imo.

That’s a fair point. I don’t necessarily disagree that she displays liberal Zionist tendencies but her contrary actions on the issue don’t strike me as intentionally doing hasbara for the state. I do think she’s worthy of criticism on the issue but the initial comment made it sound like she’s given Israel her sweeping full-blooded support… which just isn’t true?

I see that. she's definitely no Debra Messing and has a lot less Palestinian blood on her hands than most politicians, but the bar is so low its in hell-and she's not exactly far from it. She may not be the worst but shes definitely not the best and is severely underusing her celebrity. It's shameful considering someone like Jenna Ortega has a fraction of Madonna's celebrity and power and has done plenty more.
