Despite being vocal about reproductive rights and women’s right’s in the west, Olivia has stayed silent on the suffering of women and girls in Palestine and has never condemned the genocide committed against Palestinians by the IOF.

Olivia advocates for reproductive rights of women in the west. However, it is hypocritical that she has stayed silent on the genocide happening in Palestine and the rights and suffering of women and girls in Palestine despite supporting the rights of European women and girls.
In March 2023, Olivia Rodrigo joined dozens of other celebrities suddenly advertising impromptu trips to Disney world, as a tactic from the Disney company to regain the masses' support following widespread boycotts and a sizeable decline in sales. Rodrigo is the brand ambassador for the Zionist company, Lancome, which actively profits from ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Rodrigo's tours are funded by American Express, a company that has been confronted for its Zionism since the 1950's. Rodrigo is signed by Geffen Records, a label founded by mega Zionist, David Geffen, and ran by mega Zionist, Lucian Grainge, amongst many other Zionist executives in music. In the 20 months following October 7 2023, Rodrigo has not once condemned the escalated genocide against Palestinians committed by the lOF.
Silence = Complicity:
For those who have passionately spoken out against other instances of genocide and massacres, yet fall silent when it comes to the suffering endured by Palestinians, their silence becomes a glaring indictment of the value placed on Palestinian lives and perpetuates a dangerous narrative that suggests Palestinian suffering is somehow less worthy of outrage, less deserving of empathy and less human than that of others.
By choosing silence in the face of Palestinian suffering, those with influential platforms inadvertently contribute to the erasure of Palestinian voices and experiences. They perpetuate a narrative of invisibility that allows the injustices inflicted upon Palestinians to continue unabated, shielded from the spotlight of global scrutiny.
Their silence sends a chilling message of complicity to the world – one that suggests Palestinian lives are expendable, their struggles inconsequential and their humanity negotiable. It emboldens perpetrators of violence and oppression, granting them impunity under the guise of indifference.
To remain silent in the face of Palestinian suffering is to betray the very essence of activism – the relentless pursuit of justice for all, without exception or equivocation. It’s a betrayal not only of the Palestinian people but of the universal principles of human dignity and equality and instead is a tacit endorsement of the dehumanization and marginalization of an entire population.
True activism demands consistency and integrity, an unwavering commitment to speaking truth to power and standing in solidarity with the marginalized and oppressed, regardless of geography or politics.
