Madhuri Dixit, a renowned Bollywood actress, sparked controversy by deleting her 'All Eyes On Rafah' social media post, which expressed support for Palestine. The 'All Eyes On Rafah' campaign gained traction after an Israeli airstrike killed dozens of Palestinians in a camp in Rafah on Sunday.
The post garnered mixed reactions, with some netizens criticizing Dixit for deleting it. They accused her of bowing to pressure and not standing by her principles. One person commented on Dixit's recent Instagram video, 'Posting and deleting because of what some people think is even more pathetic. Very disappointed.' Another tweeted, 'Madhuri Dixit too deleted her propaganda story.'
Despite Dixit's deletion, many other Bollywood celebrities continue to support Palestine. Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Swara Bhasker, Richa Chadha, Dia Mirza, Dulquer Salmaan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ileana D'Cruz, and Nora Fatehi are among those who have posted the 'All Eyes On Rafah' photo on Instagram.
The 'All Eyes On Rafah' campaign aims to draw attention to the southern city of the Gaza Strip, where people have been forced to live in cramped camps with no humanitarian aid. The image used in the campaign shows tents at a camp arranged to form 'All Eyes on Rafah', urging people not to turn a blind eye to the situation there, where over a million people are seeking refuge after fleeing Israeli strikes.
The Israeli strikes in Gaza have drawn condemnation from many countries and human rights organizations. The United Nations has called for an independent investigation into the killings, and the International Criminal Court has opened a preliminary examination into possible war crimes.
