Celebrities like Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian are being blocked en masse on social media over their refusal to speak out over Gaza. The #Blockout movement was sparked after the lavish Met Gala, as thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee an escalating Israeli advance.

These celebs are not worth the attention.........
which is why people are blocking them.
There 132 morons like you,
Absolutely

oh they are that's why a nobody is talking about them. That's the power they have.
I never follow those selfish sick celebrities since ever
Yeah same, fckn garbages just take a look at this dude 1:09..

@@williammohan9784 mf are you an idiot? their profits comes from the fans
If you never follow them you can't block them and boycott them.
@@williammohan9784 celebs thrive on attention. Yes, they don’t care if one individual person doesn’t follow them but if the masses don’t then they’re not celebrities are they? Celebs need non-celebs because we’re the ones that gave them fame and money.
It really looks like movie hunger games. These so called celebs living in other dimension with those crazy looking outfits... Shame on them...
It’s more like a circus
That's exactly what I thought when I saw images if the metgala celebs. What a bubble they live in.
Big facts!
The most narcissistic gathering on earth
We can stop it from happening, but sadly not everyone is willing to do it
It’s Time for AIPAC To Register as a Foreign Agent
Now!
Is there any petition?
This will actually be free palestine
That's why they assassinated JF Kennedy. He was about to do it.
AIPAC is essentially a Christian Zionist Terrorist Organization based on anti-Palestinian racism. They're literally modern-day anti-Palestinian Nazis.

sick with envy you mean. They go to a Gala and you go down the local pub for a pint and a bag of chips.
Are you part time or full time with this projectionist gig? You believe others would be sick with envy? Not everyone worships celebrities. Bootlickers like you who support the worst kinds of humans are a waste of space.

@jonnyh9388 that's okay, I'm sure they are horrified by the Hollywood monsters who they have to sleep with for movie roles
But you need them for their left leaning votes.
@Noosejustice the Democrats aren't even left anymore, and they've proven that with their actions towards the Gaza situation. So no thanks, we don't need the so-called 'left' voted into power either 😊

I'm not mad at any of these celebrities. Mostly because I have zero expectations from any of them.
Good point.
Except for Mackelmore
There are no expectations just Addams family voyeurism since they are watching the public for cheap thrills and degenerate indulgences
Mark Ruffalo spoke out too, A.Jolie, as well as both the Israeli & Palestinian directors for the docu "No Other Land". Ben Affleck long time ago stood against Bill Maher for uncalled prejudices against islam too.
@@zescapegoatYes, I'm not saying there aren't celebrities who stood up for Palestinians. But neither do I expect or depend on celebrities to be the driving force for change.
I've been doing it for the past 5 years. No to movies, music, tv and celebrity endorsements. It's the same old storyline and they're getting more explicit and vulgar. Let's this continue forever and not enrich them. Like MJ sang, They don't care about us.
👍🏼👊🏼❤
I also did the same. I know how many years of my life I hve wasted in these entertainment traps. And I am pretty sure a lot more people are in these dirty traps. Hope they can see the truth and free themselves❤
how do you enjoy yourself? is it through self hobby like food hunting or something?
Me too, I rather read books, works, cooks, taking care my kids and pets, traveling, drawing, writing, meeting friends and families and when we met none of us ever talk about celebs bcuz we don’t care we rather use our time, attention, energy and money for our loved ones, friends and families.
And yet they still thrive ha ha What a warrior you are Clueless liberals
They were never worthy of being “followed” to begin with. Glad to see ppl waking up to that reality. 👏
With or without gaza if you are following these celeberities you need to question yourself !

Good stand. You can now use those subscriptions money to feed poor. I sure there is more tranquility and satisfaction in feeding poor than watching those so called celebrities .❤
They won't speak out because they're afraid the industry operators will reject them and they'll no longer be famous. So instead how about we the people reject them and make them no longer famous!
Lol literally nobody cares about this issue. Even the college students protesting are only doing it because they want to protest. Not because they know anything about the conflict. Radical islam is the problem in the middle East. Maybe we should focus on that
So, it's up to us to reject them. You're either on the right or wrong side of history. Their is no middle ground when it comes to a holocaust.
Dude these people were able to spend 75000 dollars on a ticket, they are rich, if they lose one sponsor, they don't care cause they're rich. People are hitting them in the pockets because they're people who don't care about anyone. People are barely able to afford groceries right now.

Independent journalists kind of dont have the budget to have international branches or be rushed to the scene of a news on the next flight
BOYCOTT !
Excellent initiative ! Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Serious question; why are you guys caring so much about what these celebs are talking about? Your life and anybody's life does not depend on their voice. Even when they talk about it, it won't change anything. Or maybe it will satisfy your ears. That's all. If you want a powerful talk, ask the leaders of your countries.
Finally a sensible comment So many people proud of boycotting celebrities like they committed a achievement In reality they look stupid
Ikr..celebrity ain't gonna change the world they literally work it will risk their career if they open up orvoice about it
The only comment with common sense our society has such deep rooted jealousy problems( that includes me as well) Literally deep down we all wish we could have easy careers as well that is fun to do The people aren't actually concerned about the war Their comment just makes them seem bitter about their jobs
they are terminally online. I mean, I'm too, but I have no parasocial relationship with celebs and influencers...
So Awesome... Bravo! 🔥🔥🔥 I'm participating.
Never allow anyone to say that boycott doesn’t work when we saw Starbucks and MC lose tens of billions in months alone! WE CAN DO IT ❤
Time to Blocking and Boycott Vogue, Elle, GQ, Cosmopolitan, and all these magazines that add no real value.
Yes, the left are historically notorious consumers of Vogue and GQ. It's where they get their Marxist deep thoughts.
Celebrities don't have an obligation to comment on world affairs.
agreed...but silly and evil fools won't understand it.
Not just that..block also those so called product that aren't that vital for daily life.
Be a hypocrite then.😂
Like the US platform that is called KZhead? Hello…..
Yes, we're doing that.
Humus argues innocent thai!
@jaip7399 phones are actually necessary for survival in the modern age when most Jobs NEED you to have a phone in order to clock in or contact people. There's no hypocrisy, you just don't know how the world works because you're an idiot
Smart move. The gen z are the ones who mostly follow these celebs so they are actually making a big dent since they have the power to do so.
Justice for Palestine 🇵🇸
Haven't been giving a darn about hollywood for sometime now.
Then consider hollywood lucky that they got rid of one lame member of the audience. lol
😊😊yep who are they if they have no platform ❤❤❤
This is getting ridiculous. It's one thing to boycott people for voicing the wrong opinion, but this is pressuring people into saying something about something that has nothing to do with them, and they may not even agree with.
There are many atrocities and gen0cides being committed in the world. Why dont people ask celebrities and people just having fun to stop having fun and talk about them? Why dont we boycott fun in general and use it to talk about these atrocities?
@@catsclub12566 why not focus instead on people with actual power like politicians and hold their feet to the fire? Joe Biden, Netanyahu, and so many other people in power responsible for this genocide are also on social media, why not target them instead? There are activist who spoke about the suffering in Gaza yet are ignored everyday, why not focus on enchancing their voices instead of trying to get celebrities who are not experts to talk about it? I dont need people like Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift to be the face of the Palestine movement, there are already so many people who risk their lives trying to get aid into Gaza who are more deserving. Focusing on canceling celebrities is not helping the people of Gaza, its another atempt at lazy activism that only feeds egos instead of trying to make change.
The celebrities aren’t treated like humans either. They are put up on a pedestal, knocked down, told what to say and do, etc
Good, I'm appalled by famous people who have not mentioned Gaza once, and appalled by the MET award show when they know what is going on. I am not a heavy Instagram user, I merely nose around on pages now and then without signing in, but the only two people I can think of who have said something about Gaza is a singer called Amerie and an actress from Desperate housewives Marcia Cross! Block and boycott ALL of them, and follow those who support Gaza.
But still keep supporting KZhead? Nice stance Mo.
Humus argues innocent thai!
They are just like puppet of those who are creating this war in gaza. It is so sad that these famous people have no freedom of their life and they shot down themselves due to their fames. Shame on them and we as a real human should be proud of ourselves to say no to genocide.
your boycott is meaningless. You were not even invested in them to begin with.
Why do people look to singers and actors for political commentary? This has f all to do with them.
Yes . boycott forever
No celebrity is going to risk putting themselves out there because they will be blacklisted from the film industry. Lots of rich folk have an interest with Israel so they are expected to stay in line and keep any comments to themselves.
Comes down to ethics, theirs and ours

Don’t force them to speak for Gaza. It has to come from their heart. If not then we should know who cares and who doesn’t care. We don’t need fake people
some are just following in like sheeps
agreed. Also similarly how a lot of public pretends to care about gaza only to get likes or show their hate towards a celebrity. we don't need such fake members of common public.
Blocking celebrities,🇵🇸👏🌷❤
These Young People are People’s Army - Gandhi would have been proud of them.
Did Gandhi ever raped, butchered, burned?
I respect Hollywood folks who stay out of politics. That caters to me just fine.
Boycott..
I struggle to believe why people "really care" about these celebrities at some celebrity event anyway... Who cares?
No one really cares, we're just sick of people being unable to afford basics while they spend 75000 dollars on a ticket and splurge everyday. People are being genocided. People are starving. People are angry. They don't get to let us suffer and treat us like this is the hunger games.
I'm confused tho... why do people force them to speak out when they don't want to and block out. What ever happened to freedom of speech and choice? They chose to be quiet , and just let them be. People forcing the propaganda is not really freedom of choice anymore.
Because they have a platform while most people don't. It's their obligation to use the platform to help humanity.

Prominent Israeli/Jewish people have a very deep, influential footprint in the entertainment industry. Big names, who will never speak out. Yesterday I watched a movie with Matt Damon that included a subtle joke about Israel shrinking Palestinians. The propaganda is very subconscious but it's there along with every other stereotype they created for their "enemies".
Yea why do you think they ALL just kept their mouths shut when Weinstein was a known r@-p1st. These celebs are all spineless tools for those running the propaganda machine.
Which movie?

@@happytape307 Really? I saw that movie once but couldn't finish the whole thing, it was just too stupid and weird...

This is just antisemitic
to be honest, Kim Kardashian should've been cancelled yeaaaaars ago. Saw this coming from miles away
Boycotting celebrities is meaningless and fruitless. Contact local representatives and elected officials.
Never say boycott isn't meaningful. Starbuck and MC lose tens of millions .
@@kamranahmed761 I agree boycott is useful, I just think you shouldn't follow celebs in the first place anyway that you need to unfollow them. why waste your life following celebrities?

excellent idea!
Vapid and hollow
This conflict has fractured social structure... celebrities, companies, families will soon be be divided into 2.
What made you think that these celebrities are brilliant enough to understand what is going on in Gaza ! They got rich without thinking and doing what they are told and being pretty. Dont expect anything from them and there is nothing to adore them.
It’s because People expect celebrities to have basic social awareness and political acumen. As if they are not just modern day court jesters who work for corporations instead of royalty. There could be a case for musical artists, if they were actually like bards and poets who made commentaries about the social climate back in the day but artists now mostly sing about smoking weed and clapping cheeks. Disappointment comes from looking up to them like journalists, world leaders, scholars, and social activists.
While there exist celebrities that have taken those roles consistently, they are very rare. If people really want celebrities that are informed and empathetic to the state of the world then they should stop pressuring celebrities. They should let the ones with real concern come out with the goodness of their heart, that way they know it’s not a performance put on by popular demand.
I don't follow any one of these hollywood clowns & don't even know many of them i.e their names.
The entire music and Hollywood industry is sick
Excellent initiative
Ok this is stupid, its not the duty of every celebrity to speak about every geopolitical stuff. Wars are happening every year, Ukraine, Palestine, Sudan,etc. We cant expect them to speak about everything, even a normal everyday person doesnt care this much about geopolitics.
War is soldiers against soldiers, not soldiers slaughtering common people / genocida. A human who has lost his sense of humanity towards other humans is no longer human, he is just flesh that lives and walks
@@puppunohiko then shouldn't AJ cover it as such, it still labels report on Gaza as "War in Gaza". Every news channel is covering it as a "War".
this is beyond stupid.
Lmao, boycotting people for something they shouldn't be concerning themselves with in the first place. Why should a celebrity get entangled with politics in the first place? It's not like they have anything smart to say in the first place

I never follow them so I block them instead. I’m so sick looking at selfish persons
Even if you don’t follow any celebrity, it feels good blocking them
If i am the celebrity, i would not talk about any politic bs
It’s about the money 💰 AIPAC is a significant player in terms of lobbying, accounting for the vast majority of lobbying spending by pro-Israel groups, spending more than $3.5 million in 2018. The organization was staunchly opposed to the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2015, lobbied extensively against it and supported the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the agreement. Other pro-Israel groups are also prominent and active political spending forces each cycle. The 2018 midterms saw groups in the movement contribute more than $14.8 million, the highest total for them in a midterm since 1990. Contributions went predominantly towards Democrats who received 63 percent. Sen. Robert Menendez(D-N.J.) received by far the most money from pro-Israel groups in 2018 with $546,507. In comparison, McCarthy received just $33,200 from pro-Israel groups in the midterms. In all, 269 members of the House and 57 members of the Senate received some monetary contributions from pro-Israel interests in 2018.
Thanks for informing this . I am blocking 5 celebrities on social media. I also start boycotting brands who complicit in war crimines.

Seriously you guys have lost humanity. No empathy left. A genocide is literally taking place in front of our eyes so easily. If a human can't stand for another human he is not a human. The amount of terror and suffering they are going is out of our imagination. If all the humans in this earth would have voiced out and put pressure on the Monsters then no genocide would have ever taken place. It is because of these ignorant people who says it's not our business Monsters don't think twice to commit genocide . Its necessary for everyone to speak up otherwise that day is no longer when you will be burning in the fire and just like you said people will say it's not our business.I hope you understood my point why it is necessary to put pressure in those who have big platforms yet they don't voice for the oppressed.❤
