Why Is Hania Amir Calling Out These Influencers?

Put your influence to good use, says the actress

After #SavePalestine and #FreePalestine started trending globally, Pakistanis began posting in support of the Palestinian cause as well. However, many social media influencers didn’t post about the issue. Hania Amir is calling on these people to use their platform for good.

The Palestine issue has long persisted yet for once almost all of Pakistan was posting about the issue as it became a global trend on social media.

Many Pakistani celebs talked about the Palestinian conflict and the violent Israeli occupation. They even took to the streets for pro-Palestinian protests in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi.

Many public figures steered clear of posting about the issue and asserted how people should have a practical approach towards recording their protest. Yet, Dilruba actress Hania Aamir is calling out anyone who thinks social media activism can’t lead to change.

The Ishqiya actor posted Insta stories calling on social media influencers to finally use their platform for ‘influence’. She wrote;

“Anyone celebrity/influencer going on about how social media influence cannot bring about change, a question [to you]. What are YOU doing here then? Why are YOU an “influencer” if influence does not matter here? Find a better job.”

Amid all the social media hype around the Palestine issue, German travel vlogger, Christian Betzman called out people for raising voice against Israel on social media.

“Sharing something which is all over mainstream media won’t make any difference,” he said.

He then criticized Pakistanis for raising their voice for Palestine when they can’t resolve their own issues.

“Stop feeling guilty for others when you’re littering your own country, not helping your own people and community.”
