In times of crisis and current affairs, there are four kinds of celebrities in the world. The current escalation of violence in Israel-Palestine has exemplified this.
The first are the ones who drink the Kool-Aid of western imperialism, posting American talking points on Israel’s innocence. They tell audiences that supporting Palestine is supporting Hamas (it’s not) and that supporting Palestine is anti-semitism (it’s not). They’re people like Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman and Gal Gadot (who as an Israeli did her mandatory two years in the IDF), who speak with great authority and their followers will listen.
