In December 2017, US President Donald Trump formally announced the United States recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. This is a move that has potentially undone nearly seven decades of American foreign policy and has been one unpopular opinion which has been voted against in the United Nations general assembly.

Now the Bollywood industry has come under fire from the International community for their increased friendship with Israel who have been accused of serious human rights abuses, especially in regards with their neighbour, Palestine.

Israeli Prime Minister posted this on his Twitter last week and people are speaking up;

A Journalist from Lebanon posted this on her Twitter account 18 hours ago, where she writes; Wow #Bollywood is as disgusting, depraved and morally bankrupt as #Hollywood. Shame on you. #BollywoodSelfie, pointing towards Bollywood’s apparent lack of concern for Israel’s “child-murdering war criminal” past;

The post warns viewers of containing sensitive material as it hosts two images of human rights abuses by Israel, photoshopped in the background of the recent Bollywood selfie;

And people in the comments section have had mixed reviews, with some completely condemning the Bollywood stars;

While some shed some light on even more disturbing realities;

However many people thought the post was quick to judge the entire Bollywood industry and that this selfie didn’t necessarily represent all of Bollywood;

Millions protest against these guys in India throughout whole year over one or the other thing but bollywood still keep on producing shitty movies and still millions if not billions keep on watching them. Unfortunately bollywood will keep on growing.

[MultaniGuy]

I never watch bollywood, but lol it is not surprising that some Indians support Israel.

 

[Divergent]

The lady in red looks evil and ban Bollywood now

 

[khansaheeb]

Disgusting people , Mahatma Ghandi's spirit must be whirling at this transgression of morality and sanity. I am never going to watch the movies of these revolting people again.

 

[Mugwop]

How can people get so worked up for this picture?

I doubt that. Bollywood will soon be known as an industry of thieves as it encounter more critical audience in the West.

Bollywood and critical audience dont go together.

 

[Finer]

Bollywood equals genocide. Who would have thought it would come to this.

Yeh, look at what happens to them in the end:-

 

[swnjo]

wow Bollywood is popular in arab world, it seems.

 

[thesolar65]

Yeh, look at what happens to them in the end:-

Well, this happens everywhere. People get poor to rich and vice versa in every field. What's there to link these with being in Bollywood. Nearly every Hindu, Muslim, Moghul and preceding those, emperors or kings were sent to jail or exile by their Sons. So what's big deal? You just look around yourself. You will find many examples. Beware, you might find yourself in the same situation in old age.

Thanks for the publicity,even bigots who don't know where Israel is and still hate it can be of some use
