Priyanka Chopra calls for ceasefire

There was a thread earlier about how PC hadn't been speaking up about a ceasefire in Gaza. She did sign a ceasefire but now she is vocally calling for one on her Instagram. Glad she is finally speaking out. Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar are no longer the only BW celebs to speak out.

I saw this yesterday and I was going to post the link in that topic, but then I couldn't be bothered. Good to see her speak up

All the Twitter requotes are hilarious though. No one had any faith in PC.

She is still getting made fun of that’s unfortunate

Good that she called for a ceasefire....It is important because of the position she holds with UN.

Not only is call for cease fire important....but also calling out Israel for their actions is also important.....they are butchering Palestinians.....even little kids ....and no remorse is being shown...

People who are making fun of PC and making a joke are equally disgusting......little kids dying is not a matter of joke ......if someone wants to rebuke her....be serious.....

The above tweets are not joking about the situation so this is not a matter of them not taking it seriously. Their comments are showing how bad the situation is that even someone who generally does not take political stands or do anything controversial is willing to speak up about this issue. That if the likes of Priyanka feels safe enough to speak about a ceasefire, then that means that public support is truly on Palestine's side otherwise Priyanka would never have dared to publicly call for a ceasefire.

Some of it is calling her out, but mainly it's addressing this situation by using her as an example that if Priyanka can speak up, there is no excuse for others not to.

Personally, I'm proud of Priyanka because I didn't think she had it in her either. I'm glad to be proven wrong especially when there is still so much backlash in Hollywood right now to pro-Palestinian and anti-genocide remarks.

People have felt betrayed by her in the past, that's why there is still some distrust. I saw a French user claim that Priyanka has been Islamophobic in the past but I'm not aware of any such incident.
