Selena Gomez is one of the many young celebrities that expressed their support for Palestinians during last year’s Operation Protective Edge. Slammed by Joan Rivers for being young and seemingly naive, Gomez received backlash after posting a message that read, "It's About Humanity. Pray for Gaza."“Please pray for those families and babies today. Please always remember what's important in life. It's not any of this. We are here to help, inspire and love. Be that change. #wearethenextgeneration,” Gomez wrote in the caption. Penelope Cruz and her husband, Javier Bardem, have also advocated in the past for Gaza and the Palestinians. They signed a letter during last year's Operation Protective Edge calling for the EU to "condemn the bombing by land, sea and air against the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip. Bardem has also been outspoken elsewhere in the Spanish media about the conflict. In an op-ed for the newspaper El Diario, he characterized the war as one of "occupation and extermination against a people without means, confined to a minimum of land, without water and where hospitals, ambulances and children are targets and alleged terrorists... I cannot understand this barbarism, even more brutal and incomprehensible considering all of the horrible things the Jewish people have gone through in the past."Roger Waters, co-founder of the progressive rock band Pink Floyd, is outright against Israel. He is in favor of the BDS movement, taking it upon himself to ensure that famous performers don’t hold concerts in Israel, with the stated aim of pressuring the Israeli government and raising awareness about the injustices carried out on Palestinians. On November 2, in an interview with radio host Howard Stern, Waters stated: “If Israel works toward equality and actual, real, genuine democracy, with no apartheid or racism infecting the society, then I will go over there and play 'The Wall' again... It's not the Israeli people, not Jews, not Judaism. I would never dream of attacking them. In fact, a lot of the Israelis are the people who are fighting the hardest because they believe it is the most effective tool for changing policies of their own government. So we could have that conversation, but let's not.”Lupe Fiasco, the American hip-hop star, has proven his support for Palestinians by carrying a Palestinian flag in his concerts and condemning Israeli actions in the West Bank and Gaza. Some of his rap songs include pro-Palestinian statements, in a bid to educate his listeners about the current situation. He has also criticized Obama for his pro-Israel stance on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. In his famous song, titled “Words I Never Said” Fiasco makes his opinion of Obama and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict clear. He sings, “Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit/ That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either/ I’m a part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful/And I believe in the people.”
