Megyn Kelly wants fans to “boycott” Taylor Swift after the singer attended a
Gaza fundraising event
with her close pal Selena Gomez amid the Israel-Hamas war.
The political commentator bashed Swift for going to comedian Ramy Youssef’s
show in Brooklyn on Dec. 8
which donated all proceeds to American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) оп
her eponymous SiriusXM show Tuesday.
Kelly, 53, noted that Jerusalem-based organization NGO Monitor
describes Anera as “”highly political,’ presenting a ‘highly biased view’ of the
Israel-Palestine war, ‘ignoring any Palestinian responsibility for hardship and
contributing to the demonization of Israel.’
“That is the group Taylor Swift thought it might be fun to help raise money for,
attend the fundraiser for,” the journalist continued, “and she owes Israelis and
Jewish Americans an apology.”
Kelly even went so far as to share her hope that Swifties will “boycott” the
“Cruel Summer” singer’s events “until she issues” a mea culpa.

“Attending this thing was wrong. It was wrong. Do some Googling. See what
they do in Gaza to gays. See about women’s rights in Gaza, Taylor,” she said.
“Otherwise, do this when it comes to talking about those issues again,” the
former Fox News host concluded while motioning her hand to tell Swift to keep
her mouth shut. “You clearly know nothing.”
Anera’s website insists the попprofit “does not work or even coordinate with”
Hamas, which the US Department of State designates as a “terrorist group.”
8Kelly believes Swift “owes Israelis and Jewish Americans an apology.”
Other celebrities seen at the event included Cara Delevingne, Anya Taylor-Joy
and Zoë Kravitz.
Swift – who has 278 million Instagram followers and was just named Time’s
Person of the Year – has been criticized for staying silent after Hamas’ Oct. 7
terrorist attack on Israeli citizens that left more than 1,200 dead, 240 kidnapped
and many sexually brutalized.
The Grammy winner’s bodyguard even reportedly returned to Israel to serve in
the Israeli Defense Forces amid the conflict.
