If they are truly opposed to the ongoing genocide, why are they taking jobs promoting brands that allegedly contribute to the genocide?Following #blockout2024, several Malaysian celebrities issued statements to defend themselves from continuously losing followers online. Even so, these artists are receiving criticism because their statements are not strong enough to justify their actions.
Furthermore, they did not clarify whether it was stated in the contract that they were unable to speak or promote a ceasefire for Gaza, so why are they only now showing support? While it’s believable that their account was shadowbanned for speaking out about the genocide, how come smaller creators can find a way around censorship on social media?
In addition, if more celebrities boycott and refuse to collaborate with pro-Israel brands, this could put pressure on sponsors and clients to support the anti-genocide movement. This shift would help our creative industry move away from “pandering to the Zionists”.
