Same here, hypocrisy of their roles, for instance hunger games lead, supporting schumers Gaza tweets. Gal Gadot saving arab children as wonder woman while being former idf and making a showcase for October 7 for celebrities. Oscar winners loving to make political speeches but nowhere to see any mass killings of children. List goes on, just shows how system working for zios.

If you keep watching, even when it is free in Netflix or other Platforms, you keep promoting the movie and the actors. The algorithm detects which movies are liked and keep booking the actors. So you keep pushing the actors.

It’s working too! I just read an article in a right wing magazine that is very pro Israel and the economy is tanking and the BDS movement has really been successful. This movement will make it even worse. Puma has stopped investing in Israel they have stopped sponsoring Israeli football team. People all over the world are boycotting Israeli goods apparently.

The theme of the gala was also particularly disgusting: Millionaires hiding in a magic garden where they can stop time so that the people outside don't change the unjust system. I'm not making it up, garden of time is the name of a short story, and that's what it is about.

I have to say, it did feel extremely dystopian and disrespectful to those suffering in Gaza by going forward with the very ego centric approach of the Met Gala. The world needs to change and not still be in the mindset of “not my problem” it is our problem and this is our world and the humans in it our all us. We have to get this right! We need to respectfully live in peace and fairness. It’s not about covering up our ugliness with consumerism. We can still enjoy life, but it’s time to be humble whilst our brothers and sisters and children are experiencing a Genocide. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Even I have never followed any celebrity but I am doing the blockout because I have learnt from somewhere that the celebrity still earns money even if you don’ t follow them by being shown in the search page. Therefore, it is better to blockout them so that they don’ t even come to your search page and earn money.

A total break from the old traditions and ethics of work in manufacturing gave us the disasters we have now. Airline, farming, mining, construction, meat packing, were entrusted, reliable, industries, making real good products before they became hot houses pumping out cheap commodities. A thirst for more profits increases the risks and hazards for so many trades, workers, and jobs and the compensation is never enough if they should lose life or limb on the job is the real world behind the affluent world of celebrities. There is an industrial genocide happening here at home! The celebrities are not concerned about that either.

This is all fine and all. I have blocked some of them too, but in reality, celebrities are not the main actors that bring about social change. The main actors and actresses are all of us, those who are not in the limelight, the anonymous ones, the common citizen ones. Even if tomorrow, some of them decide to speak up because of this campaign, will they do it from their heart or just to protect their business? This is why I’m not highly concerned with whether they speak up or not. They have the right to choose whether to say something or not. Now, if any of them expressed sympathy for Ukrainians and not a single word for Palestinians then I would certainly denounce their double standards

Absolutely NO. Blocking celebs who aren't saying anything is wrong. If they were openly advocating for Israel fine. But an abstention should be treated as neutral. They are private citizens who have a right to abstain from controversy. And they of all people are as powerless as the rest of you. You go after governments and corporations not individuals. If anything it will have a backlash effect, they will be resentful to you and your cause. You make an enemy out of a neutral you make a future friend impossible.

Nah. *Hard disagree* about bullying celebrities that don't speak out, even though I absolutely hope that Palestinians get out from under the boot of Israel and get their own state. I guarantee that having a "you're with us or you're against us" policy will, if anything, activate most unaffiliated people's 'f*** you' reflex (regardless of the merits of the issue) and make them come down against the issue you are trying to push them on. That is just human nature. To people with no knowledge of the issue, forcing celebrities to express a certain view comes across as bullying, and no-one likes a bully. It is also a massive propaganda gift for your opponents, who can then effortlessly redirect conversations about what is happening in Gaza to "what about all the cancel culture/forcing celebrities to agree with you?" so that they look like the victims. News feeds about Palestinian suffering will be replaced by feeds about how celebrity X was cancelled by the woke mob for wrongthink, or whatever. It also blurs the line between celebrities who genuinely have strong feelings about the issue and those who are just trying not to get cancelled. Tldr: trying to force celebrities to speak out for the Palestinians is a dumb, dumb, dumb, idea and it *will* backfire. Don't do it. Palestinians are already starting to win in the court of public opinion. Don't f*** it up.

Thank you Al Jazeera for this news. Blockout has definitely reached to where I live. I also have blocked some public figures on tiktok although I have never followed them. Funny thing is, one of them is fifa. infantino can rot and I have no interest in watching the euro this year. Speaking of dj khaled, anybody sees that video that shows two of his friends who had to carry him just because he did not want to get his shoes dirty??

Ronaldo is probably with Palestine as he had previously mentioned Syrian children. Hopefully Messi too is on the right side, he has although visited Israel mainly because he's very Christian.

@@julihc6752 If you’re using the app. There are three dots next to each comment in the notifications section. Click on that and you have three options. One of them is to mute someone. I’m not sure if that’s a permanent whole platform mute or just for that comment thread. But from what I can gather, you can only mute someone if they’ve actually @ you and turn up in your notifications. It’s really not good enough. We should be able to mute anyone in any thread even if they haven’t responded to us directly. It would help to get rid of all the spam & trolls. YT should do better on that and give that control to the users. Currently they want all the rights to edit other people’s conversations, imperiously and impertinently.

People have had enough of attention seeking and vacant celebrities who are only interested in making money from the public. We are sick of worshipping them as idols and role models. It is all image and no substance. It is time to block and boycott them and to now focus on real role models in the community who make a difference.

Many of us "normal" people have shut ourselves out from family over this, our economy in the US has taken huge hits at the expense of those of us with real jobs and we're facing a real housing crisis for working class people here, yet the tax dollars keep fueling this abomination over in Israel and Palestine. SO....these celebrities need to be working at getting the right things done with their platforms and that means maybe they need to get real jobs, too.

The way pro Palestinian people were at Harry styles concerts when he and his best friend Ben Winston are z^onist. Pro Palestinian people even defended Harry styles for refusing to wave a scraf had Palestinian flag on it, that was thrown on stage. The excuse " it wasn't technically a flag" They already made him millions and the tours got him abd got him and his zx^onist friends money 💰 and he got the grammys. The people who deserved to truly be boycotted meet no consequences and continue to get rich. The same people asking for boycotte same people that went to his concert bought his albums, bout jis Pleasing brand. Applauded his pinkwashing. Why does it matter boycott now when he and his z^onist cronie friends james Corden, ben winston, azoff, simon cowell, are untouchable. Where was this boycott when Harry styles didn't support the only then Muslim poc of 1d, zayn . Zayn posted free Palestine in 2014 and got hate, death threats, and called a terrorist but Harry styles was silent in complicity and did nothing

I feel that calling out Palestinians celebrities isn't the best option out there. Bcuz in d west , Palestinians have way less agency dan Jews. A Palestinian celeb wud be disproportionately n viciously targeted when compared to anyother celeb thats pro israel. Not to mention, celebrities are a soft target, d real impact will only be felt when the business houses are asked for accountability, dat is also where d real money lies. . .
