Alright cool man that was my takeaway as someone completely unbiased and truthfully uninformed. Not sure what was wrong with her statement but could see where wording it better would help
I’m not sure other users agree with me tbf that’s just my opinion
You'd be surprised how many people don't know whats going on there. A lot of people think its just a land dispute not full on manifest destiny.
People i know irl havent seen what happened at the temple mount and if they did it was from a source that said "clashes"
Yeah I don’t think Israeli civilians/children deserve to die due to the actions of their government. She should have been more clear and not made it seem like it’s both sides equally but I hope people don’t have a problem with her saying that civilian deaths are bad no matter what
The grown settlers who try and steal Palestinian homes deserve to get bombed and killed
She could have waited until somebody else spoke up on it lmao
Taylor Swift approach. She probably has a pro-Zionist tweet and pro-Palestine tweet sitting in the drafts
Yeah I mean disappointment tends to occur if you rely on any celebrity to be some type of pure and perfect activist
Like people are so pressed for their favorite celebs to speak on issues so stuff like this is bound to happen
Don’t think this was the worst of it tho but yeah kinda a misstep
I am in no way fully educated on what’s taking place but can someone please inform me on this, assuming there are citizens on both sides dying what makes her statement outlandish? Like whether one government body is acting as an aggressor, there are still regular people who have nothing to do with that right?
Right, innocent children are dying on both sides and it's all on Isreal because they are the aggressor. Why blame Palestinian for casualties of war when they're defending themselves from Isreal?
Edit: I misspoke and want to clarify that there's no innocent adults on Isreal side, anyone who is supports genocide.

I’m talking about innocent Israeli children man
Y’all need to get a real problem
Gross minimising of something that is a real, real problem
Israel is the aggressor you clowns. The s***ty artillery the Hamas fire back is in retaliation to the ethnic cleansing going on.
Saying “there’s innocents on both sides” is like completely negating the idea that one side is blasting white phosphorus gas (banned under international law). You can’t bully someone and get upset that they decide to punch back.

No one excuses that, but this is war, war has never been peaceful, I hope sincerely that the children will be okay.

this how i interpreted it as well, i can understand why some people might not like this statement though
I would feel more sympathy for them, if their parents weren’t white racist settlers tho
You could easily get blackballed for saying the wrong things
Gonna Have to give her the benefit of the doubt
and chalk this one up to her just not being clever or informed about the situation at all.
And if that’s the case Hopefully the backlash will lead her to read about what’s actually been happening for the past like 70+ years
