Just like many celebrities, Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has also spoken up about the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and the recent attack on the Al Aqsa mosque.
Pakistan’s youngest laureate took to Twitter and condemned the act in which nine children among the 20 people died in Gaza and scores of rockets were launched into Israel. According to her tweet, the violence in Jerusalem especially against children is unbearable.
She posted the tweet by sharing a tweet of UNICEF, “Over the past two days, 37 Palestinian children have been injured and arrested in East Jerusalem. All children should be protected from violence and kept out of harm’s way at all times.”
The violence in Jerusalem – especially against children – is unbearable. This long conflict has cost many children their lives and their futures. Leaders must act immediately – there is no peace when children and civilians are not safe. #AlAqsa https://t.co/bLv3XyA1OV

In her tweet, she wrote, “The violence in Jerusalem – especially against children – is unbearable. This long conflict has cost many children their lives and their futures. Leaders must act immediately – there is no peace when children and civilians are not safe. #AlAqsa”
However, the tweet of Malala stirred outrage on social media and angered the netizens for two reasons; first she remained quiet over the matter, and second her statement against Isreal was quite neutral.
Many celebrities along with the social media users decided to school the activist and reminded her what actual points she was missing:
It’s a one sided genocide for decades! Let’s get our facts straight and not fall for this nonsense propaganda of the western media houses!
It is state sponsored terrorism by Israel against unarmed innocent civilians! https://t.co/J3o8NLBUrZ— Ali Haider Zaidi (@AliHZaidiPTI) May 10, 2021
@Malala; as many pointed out – there is a difference between conflict & violence.
You quickly tagged Pak officials when threatened by a fake TTP account. Pls name those responsible for the violence in a Masjid during Ramadan.
Remember: Kashmiris & Palestinians are struggling. https://t.co/CAvrXFLVk3

As a teen, she had the courage to call out the Taliban by name. And that is why she commands respect.
As an adult, she seems fearful of mentioning the perpetrators in this context by name. This Malala, filtered by an army of publicists, is not the Malala we knew. https://t.co/X0TJnwmrCG

Malala doesn’t know who the oppressor is. She has friends to keep. Unfortunately she’s completely compromised and a future Aung San Tsu Kyui in the making.

Then the desi libtards ask us as to why do we hate #Malala ?
The reason is simple….. she is fake, her human values aren’t for #Palestinians and #Kashmiris, and she is another ‘paragon of virtues’ developed by the west to create division among the Muslims pic.twitter.com/oQfDdai3BO
