Drake seems to have discovered that saying “Free Palestine” is now a convenient way for washed-up celebrities to claw their way back to relevance, so naturally, he jumped on the bandwagon.
DJ Khaled has spent years being attacked by “pro-Palestine” activists for not taking a louder public stance on Gaza. When he was asked on camera to say “Free Palestine,” his response was: “Peace and love to everybody.” Apparently, that made him a sellout.
Now Drake is joining the dogpile, using a war to score points with a crowd that treats slogans like moral credentials. But empty advocacy and celebrity pressure campaigns do nothing for Palestinians, Israelis, or the hostages who were held captive in Gaza.
This is the new moral signaling bandwagon: saying “Free Palestine” is treated as noble, while calling for peace or coexistence, even as a Palestinian, gets framed as betrayal.
