Singer-actor Selena Gomez is facing more heat than ever, as a Jewish organisation has called her ‘a coward’, who is demonising the people of Israel by refusing to comment on atrocities committed by Hamas due to peer pressure.
According to Bard, instead of speaking on the massacre of 1,400 Israelis and the taking of 240 hostages, including the elderly, disabled, women and children as young as 9 months … Selena’s priority lay with her business, which was threatened after the Rare Beauty’s CEO followed pro-Israel accounts.
The organisation also detailed its disappointment over her choosing to “pacify bullies” hoping to boycott Rare Beauty by “taking the popular position that Palestinians who have been sacrificed by Hamas are the victims”, thus giving a full on pro-Palestinian stance.
In contrast, Alia Malak who is a founding member of the Palestinian organisation, Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) told TMZ: “Selena Gomez is one of many thousands of artistes and cultural figures worldwide calling for ceasefire, justice and accountability, joining Hollywood figures, leading Black scholars and artists, Jewish writers and artists, prominent authors, visual artists, and many others.”
The Selena Gomez brand has since then been under massive fire as she has only detailed one-side of the whole narrative, which has led her to be labeled an anti-Semitist, Jew-hater, opportunist, among other labels. (IANS)
