ALBAWABA - Pro-Palestine activists and users alike are furious after a recent post on X by Variety (Formerly Twitter) which covered recent news about Jennifer Lawrence complementing Amy Schumer for her pro-Israel stance during the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct.7, 2023.
Jennifer said, "Amy Schumer's choice to use her voice to speak for justice puts her under immense fire. I wouldn’t say she navigates it so much as she throws her middle fingers up and walks away from negative comments like a gas station fire in a Michael Bay movie."
Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer under fire for pro-Israel stance, "Katniss Everdeen would never"
This was received badly by social media users as they took to the comment section and brought up Jennifer Lawrence's past role as 'Katniss Everdeen' in 'The Hunger Games franchise who was a character that stood against injustice and authority.
One user added, "This can't be the same Jennifer Lawrence who played Katniss Everdeen in FOUR Hunger Games films..." garnering half a million views and thousands of likes.
Another added, "Correction, Any Schumer "throws her middle fingers up" to people calling her out for racism and for using her platform to blatantly devalue human life that doesn't align with her personal politics... like this isn't behavior that anyone should be championing and rewarding?
According to Variety, Amy Schumer "can't escape backlash and she's ok with it". She's been quite vocal about the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza that caused the killing of more than 34,000 Palestinians and injuring 77,704 since Oct. 7, 2023, as reported by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Fans of Jennifer Lawrence were "disappointed" after hearing about her stance on the matter as one said, "How disappointing. I really liked her. Oh well. Too bad for her. Now I can react accordingly. Boycott her movies to start with."
