Breitbart Reports: Hollywood celebrities choosing to weigh in on Israel as it defends itself from Hamas terrorists attacks are paying a price — in lost followers.
Online posts that are accused of saying too much or too little about events in Israel since the barbaric October 7 attack on the Jewish state are challenged for going public for “incorrect” thinking and are punished accordingly.
Others just want their favorite celebrities to stay out of politics altogether.
An exclusive poll conducted by Redfield and Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek found that, of the 1,500 eligible U.S. voters surveyed on October 29, 36 percent said they had unfollowed a celebrity on social media over their opinions on the war between Israel and Hamas.
Among the younger age groups, Generation Z is the most likely to hit the unfollow button. According to the survey, 33 percent of the 18 to 26 age group said they’d stopped following a celebrity after their comments about the war, while 29 percent of people in the 27 to 42 age group feel the same.
Newsweek reports this is compared to 17 percent of the 43 to 58 age group and five percent of the over 59 age group who agree.

Why would ANYONE follow or even listen to the opinions of "celebrities"? The absolute LAST political opinion I'm interested in is that of a celebrity. If however they open their mouth and say stupid things... they too should pay the price.
