A brief thread on all the times Harry Styles has been pro Israel
Note: original thread was made by a group of people including Palestinians and was in much more detail, this is just a brief recap of that thread. Also-
Anti Zionist ≠ Anti semitic
Anti Zionist ≠ Anti semitic
* Fist pumping when the interviewer mentioned that they’re from Israel
* Waving around a blow up hammer with an Israel flag on it on stage which he asked for
* Here you can see him with his arm out asking for it
* the timing of when he did this is around the 50 day 2014 Gaza war where 2,104 Palestinians lost their lives- and celebs like Rihanna Selena and others where tweeting in support of Palestine- whilst Harry was running on stage with Israel hammers lols
* Ben Winston posted this tweet about the hammer but then deleted it
* Ben Winston posted a very biased and tone deaf article- Harry then followed the writer of the article and still follows her- showing he is aware of the occupation
*Harry said multiple times he would love to go to Israel (these are just 2 of the times- he has said it a few more times)
* This. Self explanatory. Yes it’s real, here’s a post from around the time it was tweeted http://www.docjazz.com/one-direction-kim-kardashian/
* All these things happened 2012/2013/2014 and just recently in 2017 he told fans again he would love to go there. All this can be found online

There has been no accountability or apology when its clear he is aware what’s happening there. Call him out. Him donating to a charity one time that works with the Middle East (and is not specific to Palestine) does not forgive him of these things. Call him out for his ignorance.
You cannot argue that he has educated himself when he hasn’t shown it.
Educate yourself on the topic if you haven’t already and push for Harry to do the same. Dont make excuses and defend him, he is a grown rich privileged yt man
This is just a recap of that previous thread, I’m sure there’s more stuff out there that has not been included which you can find for yourselves xxxxx
Try not to invalidate people’s feelings and don’t say ‘but my Palestinian mutual said it’s fine!!11!1!!1’ because your one Palestinian mutual is not a spokesperson for all Palestinians- try listen to everyone, not just ur mutual
Don’t bother quote tweeting with threads that don’t address any of these points and ignore all of them to do mental gymnastics to excuse him
A lot of u love to say ‘don’t speak over Palestinians’ to excuse him but then continue to speak over the Palestinians that were a part of the group that compiled this thread
