Is Gigi also vocal about Palestine?
I just want to see what would happen (I know it won't) if Taylor Swift spoke up against Israel. Like, imagine her sway.

[britneyspears]

gigi's spoken up less than bella, but when she did the official state of israel instagram put her on blast and pressured her into apologizing 🙄

[astrofisica]

Israel targeted Gigi on their social media, so she quieted down likely out of safety concerns. but I don’t TS speaking up would affect matters too much, we need government intervention. if the United States placed a full arms embargo against the state of Israel, the genocide will stop within a matter of weeks, if not days, since we’re the ones supplying them.

I mean, yes. I just don't see why Kamala Harris would deviate from her "has a right to defend itself, those poor random dead people tho" policy. So lemme daydream how funny it would be if the popstar the democrats courted so much would expose their hypocrisy.

[astrofisica]

tbf I’m not stopping you from daydreaming, I was just answering your thought experiment in good faith

[hamnoo]

I know :/ and I think your answer is correct

[totalrecoil]

It would be a story on social media for a day or two and then after that, mainly come up as a weapon/badge of honor for Swifties defending their queen in twitter stan wars.

That's it. Literally nothing of consequence would happen in the real world because she (and every other celebrity) has zero sway over American or Israeli policy on Palestine and zero sway over Palestine outranking domestic issues/concerns for a large percentage of American voters.

The main effect of Taylor Swift speaking against Israel would be its effect on Taylor Swift discourse.

I just saw a video of multiple police in Germany arresting a kid because he had a Palestine flag. Just shows how vile the west is right now.

[hamnoo]

Yeah I live in Berlin. It's disgusting here

[thesummersqueen]

I saw that video, too, and comments said that the boy was harassing people and even spitting on them and that it's not the first time this happened but his parents / other protesters use him because he's too young to actually face consequences.
But that could be lies too

Bella has always been the more politically active/vocal between the two especially when it comes to Palestine and their Palestinian heritage.

[aliceofclubs]

Yes, Gigi has been vocal. before and after October 7th. their father's story is wild and so sad.

Taylor attended an event last year where the proceeds went to Gaza.

[cuyler_morgan]

Her and Her sister have both been vocal. Bella, moreso, but after the I*raeli government basically put a hit out in Gigi and her family after she did, I honestly don't blame her for quieting down. Bella just lost an add campaign because she's been consistently vocal, even before last year. Their father is a Palestinian refugee.

Their cousin, @lanzybear, is a worthwhile follow.
