Why Are Swifties Demanding Her To Speak For Palestine?

There is no denying that these past seven months have been tragic and gut-wrenching for Swifties not just Muslims but people around the world. As you might have guessed it was because of the present condition of Palestine. But amidst all that we saw many other things unfolding. These things the selective activism.

Here is more to the trending story!

Taylor Swift And Selective Activism

#TaylorSwift

Swifties is known to all of us. As a global star, we all have personally witnessed her rise over the years and now we are watching her fall from grace. In these past few years, we have also witnessed how we saw a very different side to her fame.

Initially, when she rose to fame, she was all about music and stuff but only recently she stepped into politics and advocate for women and minorities. This happened after she went viral for her support for elections. In a very famous clip, we saw her talking about how she always wanted to be “on the right side of history” She also went ahead to say that she wants her people to come and vote.

It was after this, that we saw masses coming out to vote. This is the power of one’s voice especially someone like Taylor Swift. But it was recently that people have noticed her double standards and hypocrisy. It was after that people started noticing that she was someone who had always spoken for the rights of only white people.

As a very influential figure, she has for the past seven months been silent for the people in Gaza. While she was on one of the most successful tours in history, many pointed out her double standards and hypocrisy for not speaking about the women and children living in Gaza.

Swifties Demanding Taylor Swift

#SwiftiesDemandingTaylorSwift

It was only a few days ago when people especially her fans started demanding her to speak for the besieged Palestinians. While Swifties has been silent on her stance people are calling her out. Fans of the global superstar are now violently calling her out for her silence.

The hashtag #SwiftiesforPalestine is going viral and is trending at number 1, especially on Platform X. This was after the mass killing of people in Rafah who were mercilessly burned by the IDF forces. After the recent incidents that took place, a movement started where people started sharing and raising their voices against the atrocities of the Israeli army.

Many celebrities came forth with their support for the people living in Gaza. Within minutes we saw how so many people reshared the “All eyes on Rafah” post. This post was shared more than 40 million times but amidst all this Taylor Swift was silent.

Her silence as many say is deafening. Being one of the greatest artists to ever live, she has a responsibility but clearly, she is not bothered at all by the many deaths of people.

Why Are Celebrities Silent?

As we dive into this complex issue, scratch that, it ain’t that complex. We are made to think that maybe speaking about the people is hard but in reality, many celebrities refuse to say anything about Palestine as in actuality they are afraid to lose out on the many opportunities that are coming to them.

It has to do a lot with Zionism where zionists benefit the ones who serve and speak for them. It is because of the same reason why people like Swifties are silent. We have observed the same pattern with people like Beyonce who remained silent for the people of Palestine.

Conclusion

In the end, we are beyond disappointed to see how we as people beg these celebrities Swifties to use their influence and voice for those who need it.
