- #SwiftiesForPalestine Trends As Fans Try to Bully Taylor Swift Into Opposing Israel
[quinnfebrey]
remember when taylor speaking about voting led to a 1226% increase in vote.org activity within just an hour?
it’s been just 2 hours and her instagram post announcing the new album already has over 7 million likes.
i wonder how many phone calls to reps, money to feed starving people in gaza, emails to government officials, and awareness could be brought about if she were to do literally anything to acknowledge the ongoing genocide that has murdered over 10,000 children!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [1]

- LegitTayUpdates - In 2019, the Twitter account LegitTayUpdates posted after a period of inactivity, explaining she had been in prison. Upon questioning, she explained she was in prison due to refusing to join the IDF. The exchange went viral, and subsequent interviews revealed the Twitter user to be an Israeli teenager who refused to join the IDF out of moral objections to the oppression of the Palestinian people. Many found it humorous and inspiring that a teenage Swiftie made a principled stand.[2]
- A teacher at a Jewish high school in Toronto conducted a qualitative study on 23 students who identified as both Swifties and Zionists, reporting that these young fans experienced feelings of discomfort, disappointment, and betrayal in response to Taylor attending a charity show in which "100% of proceeds are going to support the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East".[3]
