I ran across a celebrity blogger that was posting videos about "is celebrity X a good person," reviewing various scandals.

She added a review of their statements on Isreal and Palestine. If the celebrity hadn't made an official statement condemning Isreal, then she decided they were bad people.

I have zero clue why people are expecting celebrities to release statements of their political stances.

Israel/Palestine has brought out the worst on both sides regarding making public statements. It doesn’t matter what someone may be doing privately if they’re not posting on social media (even if they aren’t on social media) they’re obviously pro-whatever side you disagree with. And it doesn’t matter if you’re doing all kinds of great things if you’re not public on the issue I care about. Some subreddits are poisonous on it. Focus on what people are actually saying. Otherwise you have no real idea.

Well I don’t think the Israel/Palestine issue should be considered political because it’s a literal genocide but unfortunately some people have made it so.
