Taylor Swift has used her platform to speak out on everything from voting rights to women's issues, and rightfully so. But when it comes to Gaza, a genocide unfolding in real time, the megastar remains silent. As bombs fall and children are buried under rubble, Swift posts friendship bracelets and concert stills.

When your voice can reach hundreds of millions, silence becomes a statement.
