More Celebrities Speak Out on Gaza: U2, Madonna, Olivia Rodrigo, and Radiohead

More and more artists are stepping into the conversation on Gaza, with U2, Madonna, Olivia Rodrigo, and Radiohead recently making statements. Some are heartfelt, some are cautious, but all show how the crisis is impossible to ignore.

U2 Divided in Their Words

U2: Everything you need to know about the Irish rock band

The Irish band made a joint post on August 10, with each member sharing their take. Bono condemned both Hamas and Israel, calling Netanyahu’s government a “moral failure.” Meanwhile, The Edge didn’t hold back—using words like “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing.” The mixed messaging sparked even more debate among fans.

Olivia Rodrigo’s Emotional Plea

Such good singers!

The young pop star spoke up in July, calling the Gaza humanitarian crisis “horrific and completely unacceptable.” She spotlighted children suffering without food, water, or medical care and even donated to Unicef, encouraging her fans to pitch in too.

Madonna’s Call to the Pope

Madonna appealed to Pope Leo XIV earlier this month, asking him to bring light to Gaza’s children. Her post was deeply personal—she tied it to her son’s birthday, saying the best gift she could give was to fight for innocent lives. Still, she avoided directly condemning Israel, sticking to a “both sides suffer” message.

Radiohead’s Complicated Stance

Radiohead has long faced heat for performing in Israel despite boycott calls. But in May, Thom Yorke finally addressed Gaza head-on, slamming Netanyahu’s government as “out of control” and labeling the siege “horrific.” Critics, however, said his words still fell short—especially when he questioned the “Free Palestine” rallying cry.
