Tweet and delete! Celebs react and retract on the Gaza war

Published July 20th, 2014 - 09:42 GMT

When celebs take a political stance, the entire world stops and listens - unless you’re Kim Kardashian, they just stop and laugh!

Since the beginning of the latest Gaza war some two weeks ago, many A-List celebrities have turned to social media to voice support for either side, whether that be #FreePalestine or a more generic #FreePalestineAndIsrael.

Famous people’s opinions matter and can sometimes be entertaining as Israeli model Bar Refaeli demonstrated when she tweeted a quote from President Abraham Lincoln about peace, which turned out to be a line from Star Trek. Oops! 

Fans have reacted both negatively and positively to their role models views on the Palestine-Israel conflict, which resulted in some celebs being verbally lambasted, others subjected to the holy grail of disgrace, being unfollowed and then a few being lauded for their opinions.

No matter which side you support, you’ll definitely want to know who is saying what!
