(ConservativeJournal.org) – Since the invasion by Hamas two weeks ago, hundreds of celebrities and public figures have come out in support of Israel.
Prominent actors, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Amy Schumer, and Gal Gadot, who is Israeli, joined a host of entertainment executives to show their support for Israel through the Creative Community For Peace organization. The group issued a statement condemning Hamas’s actions, calling them “barbaric terrorists” and saying that everybody should condemn them.
These movie stars and creative types have expressed empathy for Israelis after the Hamas attack on Israeli territory, which has since claimed over a thousand lives.
Model Gigi Hadid, who has Palestinian ancestry, shared her thoughts on the tragic events on Instagram, expressing her heartbreak over the innocent lives lost and the ongoing struggle faced by Palestinians living under occupation. She also stressed her commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause while simultaneously rejecting the harm of any Jewish person.
Online users have urged public figures to take sides in the conflict, sparking conversations around what it means to be pro-Palestinian and whether it’s viewed as anti-Israel or anti-Semitic.
Model Gigi Hadid emphasized that terrorizing innocent people does not serve the “Free Palestine” movement and only perpetuates a painful cycle of retaliation that has persisted for decades. Her sister, Bella Hadid, known for her vocal support of the Palestinian cause, has been notably silent on the issue in recent days.
The complexity of the situation has led some celebrities to make unintended mistakes during this difficult time. Singer Justin Bieber, for instance, initially posted a picture of destruction in Gaza with a “praying for Israel” caption before taking it down. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis also removed a photo she had shared, depicting Palestinian children in Gaza alongside an Israeli flag, with a caption that read “terror in the skies.”
The ongoing conflict has sparked profound emotions and impassioned debates among public figures and their followers alike.
