Still crazy to see sm celebs speak on the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and treating the conflict as some sort of endorsement campaign. It’s almost as if their agents have been pushing them to speak on it and also, to purposely side with Israel as if their opinions matter somehow.

#I do believe that most of the people speaking on it and siding with Israel are straight up dumbasses who don’t know their history/haven’t #done their own research at all/haven’t picked up a history book since middle school but this is no excuse to play stupid and use their #allegiance to the US and their own obliviousness to defend such actions either #you just look like a fool who will go along with anything in the end when you don’t pay attention and ignore history and the suffering of #other people #rambling #it’s very weird #not to quote Dave Chappelle because he’s been on some shitty shit for the last couple of years but i remember one of his old skits that #talked about this exact same problem with asking celebrities to speak on horrific shit like this and it’s like ‘YEh…’#what the fuck is even the point bro #wait it was part of one of his stand ups back in like 04 or so but yeah #it’s even more shameful to see black ppl side with Israel like you should be the last person to do something as foolish as that bro #it is not anyone else’s fault that you might be ‘uninformed’ about what is happening like especially if you are an adult #you have access to book’s articles the internet literally everything is at your disposal #use it #READ #do your own research and listen to the people who are suffering and hurting
