Concluding her post, the Academy Award winner called for a ceasefire, writing: “Palestinian and Israeli lives—and the lives of all people globally—matter equally.” “Anything that can prevent civilian casualties and save lives most be done,” she said.

Although some followers praised the Maleficent star for her statement, which had received more than 777,000 likes at time of publishing, others slammed Jolie for refusing to choose sides.

“How did you manage to say so much without saying anything at all?” said Marcelina Maria.

    And comments like yours are the reason this world is so shitty. You’re basically taking a very clear and neutral statement and imply that this “could theoretically also be a statement from the side I don’t like!!!”. And that’s lazy at best.

    If “don’t kill innocent people” is too complicated, then maybe it’s a you problem, not a world problem.

      Calm down.

      You should look up what ‘platitudes’ mean then come back.

      If “don’t kill innocent people” is too complicated, then maybe it’s a you problem, not a world problem.

      I think you need to brush up on your reading comprehension.

        You don’t offer anything to comprehend. All your comments in this thread boil down to “it’s too complicated, better to do nothing”.

        And that is lazy or stupid or downright evil, but not the “aloof” take you might think it is. It’s intellectual capitulation.

          Alright man, you clearly don’t understand English very well so I’m gonna make the executive decision and block you.

            Ironically, that’s exactly your response to this situation: ignore the problem and blame everyone else.
