Although some followers praised the Maleficent star for her statement, which had received more than 777,000 likes at time of publishing, others slammed Jolie for refusing to choose sides.
“How did you manage to say so much without saying anything at all?” said Marcelina Maria.
Refusing to choose sides? She chose the side of the civilians, isn’t that a valid side to these people? Is the only choice in which side should get to slaughter the others?
bingo sir. it wont stop until we hear “death to palestinians”

Newsweek doesn’t want celebrities to defend the most basic human right for fear of … losing followers. The horror
“Fans” who object to that are fans that are not worth having
You’re either with us, or against us! The cries of fascists…
Idiots on twitter commenting about comments from idiot celebrities is NOT FUCKING WORLD NEWS.
