Israel and Palestine war, which began on 7 October, has claimed thousands of lives, leaving lakhs of people injured and homeless. The heart-wrenching developments, that thus followed, have prompted reactions from many Hollywood celebrities and the latest one to join the league is Selena Gomez who has, now, broken her silence on the issue. While condemning the violence, she also revealed the reason behind her silence for so long. Reiterating that her post will not make any difference, Selena said, “I’ve been taking a break from social media because my heart breaks to see all of the horror, hate, violence, and terror that’s going on in the world. People being tortured and killed or any act of hate towards any one group is horrific. We need to protect ALL people, especially children, and stop the violence for good.” She further noted, “I’ve been taking a break from social media because my heart breaks to see all of the horror, hate, violence, and terror that’s going on in the world.
