I have to say I‘m on Amelias side with the comment deleting. I’ve seen some of the (mostly very biased) comments and they seemed to be written by people who have absolutely no idea about geopolitics and just jump on the Anti-Israel train that Bella Hadid started. There is nothing wrong with bringing attention to the conflict, however the amount of misinformation that has been shared online by so many people over the last few weeks is just crazy. I’m honestly shocked how many people just repost stuff without even informing themselves on what’s actually happening. This conflict is extremely complex and isn’t something the average person will understand with a few Instagram slides. And the majority of things that are being shared atm, are completely biased and very pro-Palestine, which is just wrong on so many levels. To be clear, I’m not siding with Israel and they’ve definitely made mistakes as well, however I think it’s important to not share false information or propaganda. For example, that post that compares dead Palestinans with dead Israelis (which people love to share atm). The only reason why there aren’t more deaths in Israel is because they have a really good missile defense system (which they need as the only democratic nation in the middle east, which is surrounded by muslim countries who literally hate jews) and not because there are less attacks! Within the last week alone, more than 3000 missiles have been fired into Israel!
I think this trend we’re seeing on Social Media right now is extremely dangerous, especially considering how much of a problem antisemitism already is. I’m aware that an online celebrity gossip website isn’t the best place to discuss politics, but please just inform yourself on the situation before believing and reposting everything that an influencer shared.
