If stars have long hesitated to publish content on social networks in support of Israel – Kylie Jenner, for example, lost 200,000 followers by sharing a flag of the Hebrew state on Instagram – for Justin Bieber, it’s a different type of controversy which arose on October 11, 2023.
It’s a failure for Justin Bieber
On the 5th day after the deadly Hamas attack on southern Israel, which left more than 1,200 dead on the Israeli side, the Canadian singer finally chose to show his support for the civilian victims of Islamic terrorism. On his Instagram account, the one who is very religious explained that he “prayed for Israel”a slogan written on a black and white photo… of Gaza in ruins!
Enough to attract the wrath and mockery of the general public who point out his astonishing ignorance of the conflict in the Middle East. In the process, the singer of “Love yourself” deleted his post and shared a video of Pastor Judah Smith, who calls for meditation. He finally reposted his “Pray for Israellater, with a broken heart, on a neutral wallpaper.
Jamie Lee Curtis too
And Justin Bieber is not the only one to have made a big splash on this same very delicate theme. After the Hamas attack on Israel, American actress Jamie Lee Curtis published several images and videos on her Instagram account, including a photograph of Palestinian children taking refuge in a school in Gaza, taken by photographer Samar Abu Elouf for the New York Times, whom she had confused with Israeli children. The star of the film “Halloween” withdrew its publication.
