Harry Styles, an English musical star and former member of boy group One Direction, recently performed in Chicago, where he dropped a Palestinian flag to the floor. The incident left a bad taste in the mouth of his fans, who have been struggling to save his reputation. Styles has faced backlash on social media for his actions, as he has previously appeared to discriminate against Palestine in 2014, when he was still a member of One Direction.
The conflict between Israeli and Palestinians was at its peak, and over 2,000 Palestinians were killed by Israeli soldiers. Styles’ recent move has sparked memories of his previous actions, with some fans comparing it to begging fans for the Israeli flag. Some fans have deleted their likes relating to Styles, while others believe he is ignorant and that his charm will not help his career if he continues to pick sides on such a volatile topic.
