Indian Celebrities Express Solidarity With Palestine Amid Israel’s Attack On Rafah

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted on Monday that there was a “tragic mistake” following an Israeli strike in Rafah, Gaza, which resulted in a fire at a displaced Palestinians’ tent camp and led to the deaths of at least 45 people, as reported. Israel is now encountering growing international condemnation for its recent assault on Palestine, with numerous Indian celebrities expressing anger over the loss of civilian lives, especially children who were killed in the fire.

Swara Bhasker

Actress Swara Bhasker, known for her advocacy for Palestinian rights, has actively participated in protests advocating the Free Palestine movement in the past. Recently, she has been using Instagram Stories to voice her anger and disappointment regarding the Rafah attack.

In one of them, she wrote, “We live in a world that expects us to have a balanced response to babies being beheaded and burnt alive in tents!!!! There are no words, only curses in my heart for the smug white men (and women and people) who did this, enabled this, abetted this, funded this, supported this, made a narrative to normalise this, celebrated this…”

Dia Mirza

Dia Mirza expressed her solidarity with Palestine by sharing a post from a pro-Palestine protest on her Instagram Stories. The post featured a ‘Let Gaza live’ poster, and Dia Mirza added black, white, red, and green heart emojis, symbolizing support for the Palestinian flag.

Gauahar Khan

The actor took to Instagram Stories on Monday to reshare a series of posts about the Rafah attack. An excerpt from one of the posts read, “Tonight, mothers in Gaza will again hold their children and hope they sleep. And they, and we, will pray that they wake.”

Aly Goni

The actor shared an ‘All eyes on Rafah’ post on Instagram Stories. He also reshared a post about ‘Israel bombing Rafah 60 times in 48 hours after ICJ orders’.

Fatima Sana Shaikh

Taking to Instagram Stories, She wrote, “Came across a really disturbing video of beheaded children in Rafah. One cannot just ignore this anymore. When will this end!”

Radhika Apte

She reshared a series on videos and posts about the Rafah attack. One of them said, “We are running out of words. The videos out of Rafah are beyond horrific. Traumatising. More traumatising than we have collectively witnessed thus far.”

Nakuul Mehta

The television actor shared a post on Instagram Stories said, “If your country is beheading children, your country does not deserve to exist…”

Amy Jackson

The British actor and model, known for their work in South Indian and Hindi films, posted on Instagram on Monday with a caption “Living our privileged lives while innocent people endure genocide is a stark contrast. As a mother, the pain and suffering of the 600,000 terrified, mostly orphaned children in Rafha is unimaginable. Our society has lost its moral compass. Film festivals and media outlets silencing outcry against genocide highlight the injustice in our world today. We demand a CEASEFIRE. Do not stay silent. Do not let our governments distract from the torture the Palestinian people face. There is NO JUSTIFICATION for the murder of innocent men, women, and children.”
