Global figures outside the Arab world are increasingly voicing their support for Palestine — even as Israel contemplates a draft agreement that would cease fighting in Gaza and return dozens of hostages held by Hamas militants.
Should Israel agree to the deal, the prime minister’s office has said the ceasefire could start Sunday with the first hostages released. This would be just the second ceasefire achieved in 15 months of war.
At this pivotal stage of the conflict, it’s important to note that celebrities, activists, and political leaders from diverse backgrounds have taken to social media and public platforms to condemn the violence and call for peace. Their statements have sparked conversation, bringing more eyes on Gaza.
Those Who Are Speaking Out
Among those speaking out, Mark Ruffalo, the actor known for his role in “The Avengers,” has used his platform to amplify calls for justice. He expressed deep concern over the humanitarian impact of the conflict by shouting “humanity wins” repeatedly at the Oscars.
Roger Waters, an iconic former Pink Floyd member, has long criticized Israeli policies. His powerful messages of solidarity with Palestine, especially during moments of crisis, have made him a leading voice in the fight for Palestinian rights. Waters frequently uses his fame to call boycotts of Israel, condemning what he calls an “apartheid” system in the region.
Jeffrey Sachs, a renowned economist, has been particularly vocal about the need for international intervention. Sachs condemned the violence in Gaza in a podcast with Tucker Carlson, explaining the history, as well as Israel’s common actions of violence. His advocacy for human rights has made him a critical voice in this ongoing battle for justice.
On the other side of the political spectrum, Candace Owens, a conservative Christian commentator, has surprised many by publicly criticizing U.S. policies regarding Israel.
Known for her often controversial takes, Owens voices her support for Palestinian people on her show and in other forums. Her views underscore a growing recognition that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict requires nuanced, thoughtful dialogue, regardless of political affiliation.
