ALBAWABA - Dua Lipa's recent characterization of the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip as "genocide" prompted many of her admiring fans to take a stand; they praised her for her willingness to risk a "violent reaction" to her political views.
Dua, who will perform at Glastonbury's Pyramid later this month, believes that taking the risk to support Palestine on social media was worthwhile.
The Albanian-British pop diva justified her bold social media statements by saying they served a "greater good" and were worth the potential consequences, stated Radio Times.
"When I speak about political matters, I always make sure to remind myself that this is about a greater cause, and it's essential—and that's the only thing that gives me the strength to do it," she said.
She said, "It's a big decision, because there will always be backlash and other people's opinions." I'm thinking about it, and I'm willing to take a hit if it means it's for the greater good.
In the days after Israel bombed Gaza City, an infographic by the organization Artists4Ceasefire went viral, and the Grammy Award winner shared it with her 88 million Instagram followers last month. The hashtag #AllEyesOnRafah also made an appearance.
It is just not justifiable to burn infants alive, Lipa stated. The global community is taking action to halt the slaughter in Israel. Send your support to the people of Gaza.
