Dua Lipa, a popular music star, has expressed her views on the Israel-Hamas war, advocating for a “humanitarian cease-fire.”
She emphasized her personal connection to the issue, citing her family’s experience with war and displacement.
Lipa has faced criticism for her stance and has been vocal about her support for oppressed people, rejecting accusations of antisemitism.
Despite potential backlash, she believes in using her platform to address important issues, acknowledging that there’s more to her than just her music career.
“I think there’s no kind of deep discussion about war and oppression. It just is something that we’ve seen happen time and time again,” she said.
“I feel like just being a musician and posting about something doesn’t make enough of a difference, but hopefully, just showing solidarity, which is sometimes all you feel like you can do, is important.”
“My existence is kind of political, the fact that I lived in London because my parents left from the war,” she added.
“I feel for people who have to leave their home. From my experience of being in Kosovo and understanding what war does, no one really wants to leave their home. They do it for protection, to save their family, to look after the people around them, that kind of thing, for a better life. So I feel close to it.”
“My feelings on displaced people [are] very real and raw, and it is a difficult subject to speak about because it’s so divisive,” Lipa said.
“I feel so bad for every Israeli life lost and what happened on Oct. 7,” she said.
“At the moment, what we have to look at is how many lives have been lost in Gaza, and the innocent civilians, and the lives that are just being lost.”
“There are just not enough world leaders that are taking a stand and speaking up about the humanitarian crisis that’s happening, the humanitarian cease-fire that has to happen,” Lipa added.
