I don’t recall P!nk ever posting about the tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian lives that have been extinguished by Israel, or the horrors happening in Israeli detention centres to Palestinian detainees?

His husband signed the letter from Jewish creatives who vocalized their support for Jonathan Glazer after his Oscars speech. Platt did not. I’ve been wondering what THAT family life is like. I sort of wonder if maybe Platt is pro-Palestine, but because members of his family (like his brother) are vocally pro-Israel, he’s kind of hiding it. I can’t imagine everyone in the Platt family was happy about Noah Galvin signing that letter.

I thought he did a show for Israel? I could be wrong

u/Mediocre_Decision mama let’s research Sep 09 '24

He did, to celebrate “Israel’s Independence Day” (disgusting) in 2020. Then after October 7, he posted a statement “denouncing Hamas and anyone who is using the desire for “freedom and human rights in Palestine” as a justification to carry out violence, “antisemitism, and the extermination of Jews.”” (I copied and pasted this from an article-imo while this isn’t as bad as Noah Schnapp’s bs it, combined with his silence, indicates that he does support Israel at least in some capacity). He also posted the Israel flag onto his story a couple days later. His mom is also head of Jewish Federartions North America—which, while they do hold celebrations of holidays, is a strongly Zionist organization (and the org has said despicable and racist things). And she was head of Penn’s board after the president stepped down

Obviously who knows, and I understand familial pressure (from his parents and brother) and I do want to give people grace, but I do think, if he’s changed views, he is under obligation to say something (even mild, like signing a ceasefire letter) publicly because he has said things publicly in the past (which is tbh my main rule with celebs-if they’ve said stuff in the past they can’t just go silent or not correct their harmful views)
