What do you think of the message, (Both the ‘class debate’ and Celebrities’ supposed responsibility to speak out on Gaza)? I don’t think it’ll be effective because I don’t think most Americans are overly concerned about Gaza. Polls show that more and more Americans don’t agree with how Israel is handling the situation, but there won’t be enough people blocking Zendaya to make a difference to her bottom line. Can you imagine anyone going to the Met Gala taking the time to speak about the plight of the Palestinian people? It’d make Gal Godot’s _Imagine_ fiasco look tame by comparison. ---
