Israeli-American rapper Kosha Dillz has urged those determined to take a public stand on the Israel-Palestine conflict to show empathy for those suffering — namely, Israelis, Palestinians, Jews, and Muslims.
Kosha tells TMZ … Susan Sarandon and “Scream” star Melissa Barrera losing Hollywood gigs as a consequence of speaking out about the turmoil is nothing compared to those directly affected by the war.
As we reported, Melissa joined Susan as the latest Hollywood casualty … being 86’d from “Scream VII” after sharing controversial statements, including an IG Story where she seemingly alluded to a longstanding trope about Jews controlling the media.
As per the celeb examples … Kosha adds: “It goes to show some of the people saying things don’t have any skin in the conflict … because they feel the need to say something, but they’re not directly involved.”
However, Kosha notes that society has made it acceptable for people to praise the terrorist organization Hamas as “freedom fighters,” … adding he was shocked at the opinions of those he interviewed at both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine rallies.
He met someone who was actually from Gaza … praising him as the “kindest person” he had encountered.
“We need a voice for the voiceless … but not all voices are for the voiceless,” he says.
Kosha regularly uses his platform to highlight stories from the war … denouncing antisemitism and calling for the return of hostages in his single, “Bring The Family Home” … released days after the Hamas attacks on Israel.
