It seems the trendy thing for celebrities, politicians, and other high profile people to do these days is speak out for “Palestine”. Apparently, that is the best thing for their brand – even at a time the subjects of their support are firing rockets at men, women and children while endangering their own.
If I was to construct a post listing all those who have either franked their anti-Israel credentials or outed theirs for the first time, it would probably take all day – and even then need to be constantly updated. Instead, I have decided to post on those who have gone against the tide and shown some moral backbone in supporting the good guys.
Here are those I have noticed; please leave more names in the comments and I will endeavor to add to the post after checking.
Note I have restricted the list to those who seem to be more siding with Israel than sitting on the fence.
Selma Blair
Meghan McCain
Noa Tishby
Debra Messing

Rep. Elaine Luria
Jews persisted even in the face of the ultimate evil.
And today — in their rightful homeland, they are attacked from within. Some call them villains for defending what is rightfully theirs; for not turning a cheek and a blind eye to terror & bombings and missiles raining down. pic.twitter.com/i1ESPeUGe0

Rep. Young Kim
Israel has the right to defend itself against rockets fired by Hamas targeting Israeli civilians.
The U.S. must send a clear message that we stand with our longtime ally Israel & against this violence. pic.twitter.com/6mESm2zvQ1

So when those like Omar and AOC talk about the support they have for Palestinians in this attack…know that they are supporting Iran. The same Iran that preaches “Death To America”. #StandWithIsrael #IsolateIran https://t.co/FjuKYbEEyW

It is ludicrous to suggest that Israel’s self defense bears the same responsibility for the ongoing conflict as the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist attacks. pic.twitter.com/uZIy8fppGC
