Woman of the Year Accurso is officially one of the world’s most influential entertainers. She has now outraged Israel lobby groups by daring to empathise with — and weep over — the tens of thousands of Palestinian children maimed and murdered during the post-October 2023 phase of the genocide.

Accurso, who is Jewish, stated that “constant attacks” by ‘StopAntisemitism’ had led to the spike in threats hurled at her. This comes after the account accused her of “Hamas-aligned propaganda.” The propaganda referred to is her posts and videos about the suffering of Palestinian children. Also for raising funds to help them.

    That is true haha. I forgot that. In fairness though the anti smoking policy was only really squarely aimed at women.

    Edit: their anti smoking policy was science based which goes to show you the power of the tobacco industry in the west. I remember an array of tobacco company executives having the gall to declare in court in (I think) the nineties that nicotine wasn’t addictive.
