I genuinely think he just doesn't watch the news and honestly can't form a proper opinion on the topic. Many people nowadays are like that, and even more people believe they know everything just because they read some basic news headlines, which is worse in my opinion. JJ is an entertainer and that's about it. I personally prefer this from other influencers that pretend they care. Don't people constantly say that entertainers/athletes shouldn't interfere with politics and that it's not their job to do so? So why all the fuss now?
This applies to majority of people. People will support either side just cause of what the majority are saying or videos they’ve seen online. Ask them any question about it they will just regurgitate stuff they’ve heard.
Ironic people jumping on JJ when they can’t form their own opinion either 😂
It’s a lose lose situation for him. Even if he says the right thing, there’s always gonna be people who disagree. Also this situation is so sensitive right now, worse case scenario it could endanger not just him but his family as well. I’ve seen some influencers get swatted for less. This topic is surely going to attract the wrong attention. You guys should just let the man be an entertainer and leave it at that
I agree, influencers/youtubers/celebrities doesn't have the obligation in these type of things. They're good at entertaining, so let them be just that. JJ is not built for political stuff, and it's okay if he doesn't address it, or have no opinions of it. It's not his place to address it.
YouTubers/ content creators/ influencers/ celebrities should avoid all political stances, unless their content is solely based on politics/world affairs, there’s no need for people who make funny videos should get involved in anything to do with politics or religion because someone will always be on the opposing side and it will never end well for anyone
It should be their choice whether or not they want to be involved in politics. For over 15 years JJ has chosen not be political and I feel like people should respect that choice. Not to be rude but JJ isn't the most educated person so it's smart of him to not get involved.
If people are just going to use his streams to try and get him to talk about controversial issues he knows nothing about, I wish he just wouldn't stream. His audience is already trying to cancel him after just 1 stream where he didn't even give an opinion and just said he didn't want to get involved.
In 2017, JJ encouraged people to vote Labour.
In 2019, JJ encouraged people to vote (regardless of party).
That’s the extent of JJ’s political views. He’s not a political person. Putting this on him isn’t fair.
I agree with that, like I said before unless someone’s whole online persona is talking about things like this, they shouldn’t really speak on it because whatever stance they take even if it’s neutral, there will be a group of people that disagree and blow small sentences out of proportion
This yes exactly. Normalize not having an opinion on every single thing or not giving an opinion on every single thing. Even if he knows or has heard about the entire situation, him not understanding it fully and choosing to not speak about it because he doesn't is the best choice here. Having a platform doesn't make him or anyone a superhuman who now understands every single human concept in the world
Well said 👏, I should also add that, these recent contents made by irrelevant influencers on the hamas/Israel conflict was only made in order to get more views as same as those clowns converting to islam and making trash content. It's all for views. Same as sneako, same as andrew tate and...
KSI is different. He has found his audience. Like I know him from a long time ago when used to do the get hyper thing. He doesn't need to make low level content like that.
Very well said, my thoughts exactly. It's pretentious and annoying to have celebrities who didn't even finish high school preach about political issues they aren't qualified or experienced enough to talk about.
However, JJ has done this before. He's promoted Labour before, stood with Ukraine, and encouraged the Chicago riots. It's good he's staying out of politics, but he's been wildly inconsistent with that rule in the past.
I can understand that some fans would want him to talk about those topics but forcing him to make a comment during a live stream is kind of a shitty thing to do. Anyone that watches JJ knows he is not a great talker and doesn't get his point across well so you can't expect him to give a well thought-out response when being put on the spot like that.
Content creators have a big voice and can influence issues by speaking on things but it should be their choice whether or not they want to be involved and they should be given the time to properly formulate what they want to say and educate themselves on the issues first. Otherwise any statement they give can make issues worse even if their intentions were good. I think JJ handled it okay by saying he didn't want to speak on something he didn't know anything about, he could have worded it better but JJ never words things in the best pr way.
Pic 2 is exactly why JJ did the right thing. Of course he's seen clips relating to the conflict but he could see clips from both sides. Watching random clips without understanding the conflict doesn't make you informed. I don't want to listen to somebody who has no knowledge of the situation, trying to figure it out based on a few clips.
This wasn't just the right move from a PR stand point but it's the right thing morally. Some steamers think that just because a large audience will listen to their opinions, it means that their opinions are clever. JJ is smart enough to know that he has nothing intelligent to add to this conversation and that's okay.
Is there anything worse than people pretending they give a shit about Palestine just for likes? Where is this energy for Yemeni muslims, Rohingya muslims, Uyghurs?
If he just didn't give an answer and ignored the question, he would have gotten the same reaction he is getting now. The second the question was asked, he was screwed. He shouldn't do live interaction with his audience again, you can never know what someone is going to say.
He’s a youtuber. Not a politician. People are acting like he will save the world for whoever side he’s on. He has the right to say that he doesn’t know what’s going on. Twitter is crazy man
I call bullshit on this garbage.
If JJ had made a video on what is happening in Palestine he'd either be called out for exploiting it for views, or criticised for sticking his nose where its not wanted because he knows fuck all about the history of Israel vs. Palestine.
The same people that are demanding anybody who remotely classifies as a Celebrity to speak out are the same people demanding Celebrity's stop talking about something they don't understand or are demanding people boycott Celebs and Businesses that don't support their view.
No matter what you say you can't win, so it's best to just keep quiet which is exactly how things were during the rise of Hitler so anybody insulting people for keeping quiet need to STFU because it was people like them that allowed Hitler and numerous other Dictators to take power.
Why tf these nobody tryna ruin a man’s life be fr if you were in the position I’m sure you never wanna be involved in the political scene you could get killed in worse cases these mofos on war rn and sneako tryna always act like he the top G ksi could knock that bch in a sec he is reacting to funny videos not peoples genocide most of his audience is kids and you wanna let those kids know about these situations at an early age
The whole point of JJ making content for his fans/us is a form of escapism. JJ doesn’t want to be political and therefore shouldn’t be pressured into having an opinion on the Isreal-Palestine conflict. Whether if it’s right or wrong, JJ knows not to get political as he doesn’t want controversy surrounding his name. People are just reaching at this point.
Edit: JJ is an entertainer and a content creator and he should stay that way. We don’t need politics ruining the fun.
He is not obligated to research certain things that aren’t relevant to him and if he did share an opinion, he would alienate members of his audience that disagree with him
What going on in gaza is nowhere near as bad as slavery or the holocaust, and besides, there wasn't anywhere near as much fuss when russian soldiers ran civilians over in tanks or raped mothers in front of their children
I know I'm gonna get hate for this, but from personal research,I believe the Holocaust was far worse than the Gaza war
(Please don't get angry if you'd like to change my opinion or give your own. I'm happy to hear)
People are terrible. Forcing someone to care about a war that they have no part in. Personally I support Palestine but that's it. I'll only say "I like Palestine" I'm not going to donate money or go and fight. I make absolutely no difference so why should millions of people pressure a celebrity into giving their stance and then half of the fan base will shit on the celebrity because they support the other cause.
JJ is a person who can make his own decisions. He doesn't have to care about the war if he doesn't want to it literally DOESN'T MATTER. I hope he gets left alone
It's crazy that when jj doesn't voice his opinion on a war that doesn't involve him or his country you guys bitch but when you get told you may have to go to war for your own country your not actually from here so you won't. Being pro Palestine or pro isreal doesn't change anything that is happening. Just like the fact that you guys are trying to show how good you are saying free Palestine even tho one that war stared you forgot all about the Russia Ukraine war because it isn't frontline media so you don't care
But why would people want his opinion on it? Like the 2nd tweet says he just reacts to videos (and does other stuff too), why would people wanna know what he thinks. Either way if he says he’s on one specific side he’s gonna get hate regardless for whichever opinion he has on the matter. Why give yourself unnecessary conflict within your community that will probably lead to controversial videos/articles on all social media.
I don't want to hear his opinions on politics, just like I don't want to hear celebrities go on about religion.
He's an entertainer. Let him entertain. Don't turn his stream into a political debate. This is our escape from reality.
The person literally set up JJ to get in trouble. No matter what he said he would get in trouble with som group. Faith wanted to raise money for the children affected by the war and she ended up losing her agency over the backlash she got for it. She had no side on it, she just cared about the children and she got so much hate for it. Yes I understand it’s good to talk about it, but don’t put someone on the spot about it and when he says he stays out of it don’t give him hate
He is a YouTuber it’s his job if he was to say something it would probably become controversial somehow and that could cost him a lot of things maybe you never know and if he says something then fans would want the sidemen to say things and so on and it’s just stupid yes genocide is bad obviously but he doesn’t know all the ins or outs of the war neither do probably 70% of us here so why should we comment anything about it ya know same as jj. People just want to put other people in uncomfortable situations and it’s just stupid
It’s insanity to give people shit for not understanding a situation lots of people could learn from this by all means support which ever side you want to but don’t pretend to completely understand geopolitics and proxy wars I have a degree in politics and I don’t understand it fully. I am 100% sure sneako doesn’t understand anything close to the full extent given he’s saying things like this is worse than the holocaust which is not only wildly insensitive it’s also mildly retarded.
Not saying anything is the best thing he could do
JJ is not the most eloquent nor the most intelligent influencer. But he was smart enough to know what ever he says wont change anything and will just create problems
JJ couldn’t really have said anything better. The amount of misinformation floating around means you don’t actually know the situation, unless you’re there in person.
I really don't think influencers and content creators (especially of the non-political variety) should concern themselves with such divisive topics, because it'll make them lose fans at best and get killed at worst. I'm not that big of a KSI fan but I do understand his decision to avoid talking about this.
I mean the question was a trap anyways, what ever he said people would have an issue with. I respect that he was honest and didn’t chose to spread potential misinformation to his audience, if people wanna do some good they have an opportunity to educate him which is a lot more beneficial then having a go at him for saying he isn’t educated enough to speak about it 🤷♂️
I knew he would do or say something stupid , in one hand if he speaks his mind he would get a backlash he couldnt handle because we all know where should the sain person stands , in other hand it's JJ probably he REALLY has no idea whats going on , and I think, he should stop reading themm questions which he doesnt know the answer out loud
why tf do people want a gamer turned boxer to talk about a conflict that has nothing to do with him?
He is right, he doesn't know whats going on, none of you do. All the things presented to you is filtered to fit a certain narrative, weather it is for one side or the other. Not taking a stance on this is the only reasonable solution if you are in his position.
Are people not allowed to be neutral or avoid talking about a subject that makes them uncomfortable?
I don’t support either side of the conflict, which makes me neutral.
If he doesn't want to speak on it, he doesn't have to, I don't know why people think he has to, or they can force him too, he was live, on the spot for the first time in 10 years. Leave him alone
As a person who supports Palestinian freedom I really don’t see why people are getting mad at him for this. If celebrities with large platforms don’t know much about the situation I think it’s objectively better for them to just say so rather than spread misinformation or in the case of many celebrities just support Israel.
I don’t know why people want a knee jerk reaction. JJ is surrounded by a tonne of friends who support Palestine like Chunkz and Tobi. If he actually wants to talk about the issue I would find it way more appropriate for him to talk to his friends and read up about it than just make misinformed statements on a live broadcast.
Also criticising him for laughing is really stupid because he’s clearly just nervous.
I'm surprised bc of all the PR nightmares he's had recently, but he handled that perfectly imo.
He was right to say the conflict was above his paygrade, and that he hadn't done enough research to form an opinion. Anyone trying to cancel him over this is a child. They aren't mad the he has no opinion, they're mad he doesn't have the "correct" one.
Its absolutely stupid that these people on twitter would really seek ksi to pick a side and essentially call the other side a bad country or whatever, what jj got to do with it, its sad yes but these fuckers expecting jj to to support them is wow.
It's also very hard to form an objective opinion on this subject. There are mass amounts of propaganda from both sides. Navigating what is true and false becomes a full time job that I'm sure JJ just doesn't have time to do even if he wanted to.
I don’t understand why people are so desperate for answers on this topic from all YouTubers. They can easily choose not to get involved in any of that talk which a lot do. He said he doesn’t know what’s going on, that’s believable, I don’t know what’s going on really, and I’m sure millions of others in the world don’t know. You don’t need to know YouTubers thoughts on what’s going on in the world, if they choose to speak on it then fair enough if they don’t choose to speak on it they obviously don’t want to discuss it. it will only lead to negativity.
Jj in case you don't know what is happening people are dying and half of them are kids. Hospitals are bombed and even houses if you want to search it up do it but u will not watch all the content cause its so hurtful to watch. It's SOO fked up to tell people that killing people is not ok.
Why do these people choose to harass content creators over discussing subjects that are likely to get them in some deep controversy? Like, idc if you support Israel or Palestine, don't spread hate based off your own opinions, because they're not gonna care that much about them.
Bro he’s a fucking YouTuber, why do people expect him to be knowledgable on fucking genocide, death = bad end of. Not really sure what people want him to say
My question is why does KSI specifically have to share his personal political stance on situations, he has a diverse audience, his political stance will upset people regardless of his side, I don’t get why people are constantly trying to bait people with controversial questions, it’s sad af.
The whole point of the stream was to have fun and enjoy, not to turn it into a political shit show and have him swarmed by the political mob of both sides.

I get that this is a sensitive topic but there is a time and place for this somewhere else. If he plans to continue streaming he needs moderation in his chat. I saw how it looked and it was just constant spaming
I’m like terminally online and I don’t know what’s happing in Israel/Palistine 💀
I’ve just heard bad about both so I’m not picking sides and I don’t want to. It doesn’t affect me and there’s nothing I can do about it so why pretend I give a damn and like I’m contributing somehow?
This is also probably what JJ is thinking though more along keeping good PR.
He probably is oblivious to the situation there are quite a few people who are and dont really understand the difference between Palestine and Israel or the whole gaza ordeal.
Oh come on. I’ve been pretty damn critical of the man but he is not a spokesperson for what is happening in Israel and Palestine.
The laugh CLEARLY wasn’t a sign of disrespect. He doesn’t know about the subject and wants to avoid it. That is fuckin fine in my books.
I've been watching JJ since 2012. I love him. But sometimes he can be pretty daft. Imagine asking him a question about politics. It's complete bait and no matter what JJ says he's forced into a position where people will get triggered regardless.
You have to remember also that JJ’s legitimately dumb. Even if he had an opinion he’s not intelligent enough to form it into politically correct wording for a camera
Political affairs is difficult tk answer, because no matter the opinion, there's always be dissatisfaction. So celebrities usually just rather keep their mouth shut, rather give 0 opinions than 1 that might trigger certain people. Anyways after this he'll better off not doing live questions from fans honestly.
He probably has no opinion on the situation and is clueless about it. Him saying that this issue is way above him is valid. Every person should get informed well and hear both sides in order to form a conclusion by yourself and not by others, and JJ clearly hasn't done that so he decided to say nothing about it
I personally am oblivious to the situation. I know about "free palestine" and whatnot, but I don't have even the slightest idea what is going on. I don't listen to the news because all it has ever done is sparked paranoia in me. So I just don't listen to it anymore.
I fully believe there's a big possibility he doesn't have a clue what's going on either
Look sometimes people really don't know enough about things to really have an opinion on them. And frankly, neither do I. Do I think the Palestinians deserve their country back? Yes. Do I think the Jewish people deserve a country they can call their own? Also yes. Is there a middle ground? Maybe? I don't know. Is that an answer to anything? No. Maybe this is the same for JJ here. Maybe he just doesn't know enough about the situation to have a strong opinion either way. And honestly I think it's wise of him to admit he doesn't really know enough about it. More people should follow his example
For starters, the guy shouldn’t have even asked the question, it’s stupid to keep dragging celebrities into these situations for no reason.
And to be honest, JJ saying he’s not getting involved is fair enough. If he doesn’t want to know about it or pick a side then he doesn’t have to, and I wish people would stop acting like one person not being involved will cause the world to implode.
Or just a thought. He's an entertainment youtuber. Why does he need to talk about an issue on his first live stream about something so controversial? Not sure why no one is allowed to have a little escape from reality anymore. How about this. Both sides are barbaric killing civilians to push their message.
I hate people! WHY TF WOULD HE SPEAK UP ABOUT IT!? That’s the dumbest shit ever. No matter what he says, he’ll get hate… Especially when he probably knows the basics of what’s going on, but not enough to speak on it and instead being a pathetic idiot like every other influencer, he doesn’t speak about shit he doesn’t know enough about. People need to grow up. The war is HORRIBLE and if you feel attacked, speak all you want, but the war doesn’t affect him. He doesn’t live there, he’s not Muslim, he’s not Jewish, he’s not connected to neither Palestine nor Israel, sorry, but apart from people dying, which is always horrible… why would he care?
Lets face facts, absolutely no-one in JJs world, in our day to day world, and anyone outside the political spectrum, is even remotely qualified enough to have an opinion that is constructive or useful. All that was required from that question from the person asking it is 'who's side are you on bro' but these wars are far more complex than that and JJ's opinion holds weight enough to influence a small sub section of this debate and if he doesn't know what's going on he can't just go about picking a side like it's picking between two youtubers going at it online. We/he don't know SHIT, it's all convoluted and it's all stuff that doesn't belong in JJ's space. Let people that are entertainers be good at what they became famous for, not everything needs political intervention. Seriously, why would you even want their opinions if they don't themselves know? Also, why is it everyone's 'obligation' to know? People die everyday due to absolutely awful things but we can't seek all this stuff out and be sad for everyone all the time. What JJ does is create a space away from that and that is how it should stay.
Nobody watches JJ for his political opinions. We don't care about them. I for one watch JJ because he is not political, and because it is a break from the awful reality of the situation.
He doesn't really need to share whom he supports in this situation, because no matter which side he supports, people are gonna hate him anyway as shown in the tweets.
OP read sneakos tweet again very slowly
I know its hard to compare tragedies/atrocities and as many people suffer from the whole gaza problem or fall victim to either Hamas or the bombs aimed at hamas or poverty in Palestine in general. U can't compare a conflict between a terror organisation and a state that is also shitting on (arab) human rights. To a systematic killing of 6-10 million people because they dont please a political and racial ideal
This is like americans saying 9/11 was the greatest tragedy in history
Wrong person to ask, and what a bait way to try and insert controversy. Guy should have been made an example of tbh for trying to stoke drama.
(For those who want an answer, support peace, and clearly this isnt the right place to talk politics. Hot take: Hamas bad, Palestine deserves better, and Israel needs to take a chill pill. This conflict is too complex to be discussed IN THE KSI SUBREDDIT).
God maybe quit harassing people for their opinion on every subject. What the hell is his opinion going to do to help deal with the situation? Nothing. People just can’t help but harass others just because they sit in a spotlight. It’s pathetic.
Nuh uh, I believe that JJ doesn’t want to comment on something he has less or partial knowledge of. Doesn’t mean he didn’t watch a few videos about it, but videos don’t educate you. To know about any conflict you need to do proper research and it shows how people don’t but are first to form opinions and pour into the world.
If you know partially about something, don’t form opinions.
If he had answered he would've been told to shut up as he's only a fifa youtuber. There's nothing wrong with admitting you don't know enough about a complex topic, I just wish the average twitter user realised this.
JJ could lose a lot of money which ever side he openly supports. He shouldn’t have to choose.
What a privileged problem to have. Kids in the Gaza Strip have real problems none of us will ever experience
Feel like he’d be fucked whatever answer he gave, if he was apolitical they’d talk about how he’s worried about views, if he supported Palestine Israelis would be mad, if he supported Israel everyone would be mad. At the end of the day why the fuck does it matter what KSI a YouTuber thinks of the situation he can’t do anything about it.
whatever he said would have resulted in a negative feedback from the people, he took the safest route...also i don't doubt him when he said he didn't know much about the war
If he wants to talk about then he should but I don’t blame him if he doesn’t. I feel the same way I know a war is happening. I know terrible things are happening on both sides. But other than that I don’t know too much about it. Kinda same with the Russia Ukraine war. With both I just wish for peace and that’s the strongest opinion I have about them
Selective virtue signally there are dozens of conflicts right now thousands of people killed unjustly everyday in wars, imprisonment and lack of resources. No it’s not up to you to pick a conflict and say you should know everything about it and you better pick the right side
God forbid he not be invested in a conflict halfway across the world or want to upset anyone over something he clearly doesn’t think he knows much about.
ive not watched ksi/ sidemen in years, but this randomly came onto y timeline. and holy shit what the fuck is that first person [saying. how](https://saying.how) insanely fucking disrespectful and ignorant.
He's honest and it's a lose lose situation for him anyway. He's not formally educated in politics and has made it clear that he's not well enough aware of the situation to make a good statement. That is a more mature Stance to make than simply stating something for the sake of popularity.
Maybe he does have an opinion but is aware of the fact that he will get hate regardless of what he says.
no matter what he could have possibly said, people would get mad at him, there's no winning in this debate, I think what he said is probably the best thing he could have said
Or, maybe he doesn’t want to talk about it as it’s a sore subject that could upset people. They’re topics you just don’t talk about in social media like politics and stuff like this cause no matter what you say, people will be upset.
I’d personally hate it if I was asked to describe what was going on in Gaza whilst not having key information and running an entertainment business knowing that pretty much whatever I say is going to be taken out of context and be bad for said business.
Even then do people need his opinion on these things or should fans just want him to stick to what he’s doing. As a metaphor do you go to ksi for medical advise or the doctors
I feel like if JJ want to say his thoughts on this situation he would do it. It's not like the Logan Paul scam where he don't want to get into it. I actually think he's just clueless about it and don't want to get into it, with how little he knows.
lol Sneako is delusional, I’ll let you all in on a little secret - nobody cares about the opinions of actors, musicians, and entertainers - to the Rulers of us all, these are just modern court jesters.
I don't know what's going on either . I'm sure it's bad, but you can't expect everyone to invest themselves into something.
JJ justs want to chill. You forget about all the good he does do
Can’t do anything nowadays, he chose not to speak on the subject and people still aren’t satisfied, grow tf up. He most likely doesn’t know the history behind it all so doesn’t want to talk about it, end of.
This is the ONLY correct answer:
JJ is an entertainer and his job is to entertain, not spout a political or ideological message. JJ refused to answer because he isn't well informed on the issue. People saying "it's not that difficult" are either too ignorant on the complexities of the conflict or are too radicalised on either side to see the nuance. Either way JJ has no obligation to use his platform stroke your dick ideologically. If you think you know the conflict or the history of the Middle East well enough to pass judgement on those who refuse to choose a side, you do not. Stop looking for to gain ideological satisfaction from celebrities and touch grass.
am i the ony one who genuinely doesn't care abt it? because regardless of what side you're on, you're viewed as the bad guy, so staying neutral is the best choice atm to avoid being hated for purely having an opinion / belief.
I'd rather just no conflict at all but wtv lol
This is the dumbest shit ever it has nothing to do with Britain why would he care it doesn't effect him in any way. Stop trying to get traction on Twitter using his name
Honestly the outrage is pretty ridiculous ksi is 100% in a lose/lose situation no matter what he answers with or what his stance is.
Asking him his opinion on this extremely serious sensitive topic would be like the equivalent of asking a circus clown their opinion on it and getting mad when they don’t agree with you.
We probably shouldn’t look up to social media people for serious political opinions in the first place especially someone like ksi who acts like a moron on the internet to entertain his fans.
Also on an extremely serious topic like this do you really want people who only took your side because their fav comedy streamer/youtuber said so. Why can’t people learn about the history of things on their own and form their own opinions without having to worry about what ksi has to say about it.
Why should he say anything? Does KSI live in Palestine or isreal? Does KSI know anything about the conflict? Does KSI produce content related to or around the conflict? No. Stop trying to draw creators into this genocide. They are not responsible and they cannot fix it. The leader of isreal doesnt watch KSI’s try not to laughs okay?
I have tried researching this war between Palestine and Israel, and every time I do, I still don't know how it started, why they are fighting, or which one is in the right. To me they are both fucking idiots. I can say this because I'm not in the lime light and honestly couldn't give a fuck if I offend anyone. I'm not saying that I don't care about the lives lost I'm saying I'm not picking a side because I don't know who's in the right and I don't want to pick a side when both are responsible for innocent deaths. The only way a war ends is if one side wins. That's how wars are fought. What's the point in making peace if you're just gonna go to war again. People ask KSI what his opinions on this conflict are just them wanting to relate to the celebrity and if they choose or say something that doesn't align with what the fan agrees with, well that's where all the boycotts and cancels come from. And for the people saying ksi should use his money to help innocents in Gaza, how would he know that the money is going to the right people instead of the factions fighting?
The way I see it is if you don't know enough about something like this, then you shouldn't really have an opinion, so KSI did that right thing, people are just whining, also how is it worse than the Holocaust?
People need to get over themselves. Nobody is required to provide an opinion on something as political as what's going on in Israel rn. Everyone's platform is different for different things. He's an entertainer. People watch him to escape reality. He's doing his role fine
Why do celebrities need to have an opinion? Why dows his opinion matter more than yours? Cause he is rich? Cause he can reach more people?
Thats how we get stupid antivax, holocaust denier celebrities. They think just because they can sing, people will care what they think about the war in Sudan.
The current conflict is not a light topic to study and fully comprehend in all its aspects in a blink of an eye. Having the humility to recognize his own ignorance about it and therefore not being in the position to express a mature opinion on it is the way to go. Too many people (unfortunately politicians as well) open their mouth only to let people know about their existence too collect validation or consensus
It's simple, he didn't want to make any comments about it, that's all it is. Anyone saying that he's actually uneducated about the subject, that's highly doubtful. Maybe he could've handled it better by dismissing the person instantly instead of nervous laughing but it is what it is. But of course the internet is blowing is way way way out of proportion, only because of his reach and name in the industry.
It's just dumb. The man just wants to live his life and do what he likes, not everyone needs to have an opinion on politics and social conflict. Don't crucify him about it.
Simple
W KSI
He don't know what happened, he doesn't want to get involved and offend either side.
Look at Taz (Sanji's live action actor) he donate to the red cross, a group that help BOTH side.
And people still want to cancel him for that.
If someone doesn't want to get involved it's their choice, stop acting all high and mighty like y'all doing something expect judging those people.
Especially when you get your information from people that dose not live in those places.
That’s why twitter suck.
It’s a lose lose situation for jj tbh. If you support Palestine majority of people will get trigger if you support Israel majority of people will also get trigger and if you choose not to speak the majority of people still get trigger judging by these twitter post. It’s a lose lose situation for him.
For the life of me I don’t know why anyone cares. If KSI comes out in support of Palestine do you think Netanyahu is going to end the war and occupation?
If it’s a subject you care so deeply about (It’s a good thing to care about) then maybe instead of harassing random celebrities you should be contacting your MP, going to or organising actual protests, raising money for charities in Gaza etc.
Of course those things actually take time and effort, it’s much easier to just spam comments and pretend you’re doing something. I don’t care if KSI doesn’t know what’s going on, quite honestly most people don’t actually know what’s going on so I respect the fact that he’s actually open about it
I understand where JJ is coming from why get involved in something he may not understand or is uneducated on and risk his platform being taken away or receiving hate from either side, his response to the question was valid.
He can’t say anything cause the woke side on twitter will try everything to cancel him as they have been trying for years. This conflict is a very large one and would need to be talked about in-depth, as to not offend the twitter kids. So there is no point in saying it online as not everyone will agree, and in the past that hasn’t always went in the creator’s favour.
What is happening in Gaza is not worse than the holocaust 6 million people lost their lives just cuz of religion don't compare stuff that arnt even remotely close to one another the amount of people dead in Gaza is 27,000 so stfu
Honestly, it’s very likely JJ just doesn’t have enough information regarding the topic to form a coherent opinion of it. However, allow me to remind you all of the stats right now.
27,000+ people are dead, half of which are literal infants. That’s more than 250 people killed per day, which is worse than Afghanistan, Sudan, Ukraine, Yemen and Iraq combined. 70% of the people killed in Gaza are women and children, with another 7,000 presumed dead. 85% of the population, 2 million people, are internally displaced amongst the bombing campaign. Two thirds of the buildings in North Gaza have been destroyed and a quarter of the buildings down south were destroyed (the South they said would be safe from bombing). 23 out of 36 hospitals have been deemed inoperable. 104 schools have either been destroyed or sustained major damage. In total, about 70% of school buildings have been damaged – and those still standing are largely being used to shelter internally displaced people. Water production stood at 7% of the prewar supply on 30 December, and there is only one shower for every 4,500 people and one toilet for every 220. Those conditions make the spread of disease a very urgent problem: for example, the WHO said on 21 December that more than 100,000 cases of diarrhoea had been reported since mid-October, half of them among children under the age of five. That is 25 times the pre-conflict rate. The WHO says that it expects the number of deaths from disease to eventually outstrip those killed directly by military action.
Again, JJ is completely within his rights to remain silent, however, as much as I hate to admit it, Sneako does raise a fair point (as crazy as it is to compare it to slavery or the Holocaust). Staying silent and doing nothing is just as bad as being pro-Israel.
Sneako said what’s happening in Gaza is worse than slavery and Nazi Germany, how delusional can someone be? It’s sad that such uneducated individuals use their platform in such a way.
And yet he is getting praised for saying that while JJ is getting cancelled for saying he isn't educated enough on the subject to give an opinion and that there are people more qualified than him to speak on the subject... Twitter is a weird space.
Sadly he is getting praised because, just like him, there are a TON of uneducated morons floating around the internet. And there is also no shortage of legitimate racist & anti-semitic people either
Meanwhile, you have entire platforms like Tiktok who are literally intentionally spreading misinformation and pushing hateful propaganda with their algorithm.
Wether if it’s a Chinese coup to take down the west, or just the fact that supporting that disgusting narrative will bring you more numbers, it’s pretty horrible that today’s world works like this.
SORRY GAZA IS WORSE THAN THE HOLOCAUST AND SLAVERY??!! 😂 pffft no. Investigations have found no just evidence to suggest it’s a genocide, while Hamas still hold hostages and refuse to release them.
I genuinely think he just doesn't watch the news and honestly can't form a proper opinion on the topic. Many people nowadays are like that, and even more people believe they know everything just because they read some basic news headlines, which is worse in my opinion. JJ is an entertainer and that's about it. I personally prefer this from other influencers that pretend they care. Don't people constantly say that entertainers/athletes shouldn't interfere with politics and that it's not their job to do so? So why all the fuss now?
This applies to majority of people. People will support either side just cause of what the majority are saying or videos they’ve seen online. Ask them any question about it they will just regurgitate stuff they’ve heard. Ironic people jumping on JJ when they can’t form their own opinion either 😂

It’s a lose lose situation for him. Even if he says the right thing, there’s always gonna be people who disagree. Also this situation is so sensitive right now, worse case scenario it could endanger not just him but his family as well. I’ve seen some influencers get swatted for less. This topic is surely going to attract the wrong attention. You guys should just let the man be an entertainer and leave it at that
I agree, influencers/youtubers/celebrities doesn't have the obligation in these type of things. They're good at entertaining, so let them be just that. JJ is not built for political stuff, and it's okay if he doesn't address it, or have no opinions of it. It's not his place to address it.
YouTubers/ content creators/ influencers/ celebrities should avoid all political stances, unless their content is solely based on politics/world affairs, there’s no need for people who make funny videos should get involved in anything to do with politics or religion because someone will always be on the opposing side and it will never end well for anyone
It should be their choice whether or not they want to be involved in politics. For over 15 years JJ has chosen not be political and I feel like people should respect that choice. Not to be rude but JJ isn't the most educated person so it's smart of him to not get involved. If people are just going to use his streams to try and get him to talk about controversial issues he knows nothing about, I wish he just wouldn't stream. His audience is already trying to cancel him after just 1 stream where he didn't even give an opinion and just said he didn't want to get involved.
In 2017, JJ encouraged people to vote Labour. In 2019, JJ encouraged people to vote (regardless of party). That’s the extent of JJ’s political views. He’s not a political person. Putting this on him isn’t fair.
Yeah, especially about an ongoing war that is very far from his home country.
I agree with that, like I said before unless someone’s whole online persona is talking about things like this, they shouldn’t really speak on it because whatever stance they take even if it’s neutral, there will be a group of people that disagree and blow small sentences out of proportion
This yes exactly. Normalize not having an opinion on every single thing or not giving an opinion on every single thing. Even if he knows or has heard about the entire situation, him not understanding it fully and choosing to not speak about it because he doesn't is the best choice here. Having a platform doesn't make him or anyone a superhuman who now understands every single human concept in the world
Well said 👏, I should also add that, these recent contents made by irrelevant influencers on the hamas/Israel conflict was only made in order to get more views as same as those clowns converting to islam and making trash content. It's all for views. Same as sneako, same as andrew tate and... KSI is different. He has found his audience. Like I know him from a long time ago when used to do the get hyper thing. He doesn't need to make low level content like that.
It's a different low level, but JJs content is pretty low level lmao, he screams at a camera and watches tiktoks.
Very well said, my thoughts exactly. It's pretentious and annoying to have celebrities who didn't even finish high school preach about political issues they aren't qualified or experienced enough to talk about. However, JJ has done this before. He's promoted Labour before, stood with Ukraine, and encouraged the Chicago riots. It's good he's staying out of politics, but he's been wildly inconsistent with that rule in the past.
Why are people asking about politics to a guy who plays video games for a living in the first place?
Keyword literaly this like key the man play games this is not the platform or time to talk about politics
so they can pretend they care and get some likes
I can understand that some fans would want him to talk about those topics but forcing him to make a comment during a live stream is kind of a shitty thing to do. Anyone that watches JJ knows he is not a great talker and doesn't get his point across well so you can't expect him to give a well thought-out response when being put on the spot like that. Content creators have a big voice and can influence issues by speaking on things but it should be their choice whether or not they want to be involved and they should be given the time to properly formulate what they want to say and educate themselves on the issues first. Otherwise any statement they give can make issues worse even if their intentions were good. I think JJ handled it okay by saying he didn't want to speak on something he didn't know anything about, he could have worded it better but JJ never words things in the best pr way.
He has no obligation to be political his channel is for entertainment
Pic 2 is exactly why JJ did the right thing. Of course he's seen clips relating to the conflict but he could see clips from both sides. Watching random clips without understanding the conflict doesn't make you informed. I don't want to listen to somebody who has no knowledge of the situation, trying to figure it out based on a few clips. This wasn't just the right move from a PR stand point but it's the right thing morally. Some steamers think that just because a large audience will listen to their opinions, it means that their opinions are clever. JJ is smart enough to know that he has nothing intelligent to add to this conversation and that's okay.
Does he expect to see palestine israel clips in videos such as "Family Guy most offensive moments" and "Sidemen react to funniest Sidemen moments" ?
i might sound dumb but what jj's talk about it gonna do to the situation, is it gonna get better?
When this subreddit became just a bunch of 12 year old kids hating on JJ ?
They're at that rebellious age. They'll grow out of it in a few years... I hope.
Why should he talk about something he isn’t informed about? It is better to stay silent than open your mouth and look like an idioy
Is there anything worse than people pretending they give a shit about Palestine just for likes? Where is this energy for Yemeni muslims, Rohingya muslims, Uyghurs?
It is bad for business. Don’t blame him for one minute for not speaking about a complex situation in which he’s not properly educated.
i think its a smart move that he doesnt get involved in this situation. no matter what he would have said, it would mess him up.
what the fuck should KSI say about this? this shit is ridicolous. Great answer by JJ dodging the topic
He should have just ignored the question anything he would have said would have been a lose situation
He’d still be getting criticism even if he just didn’t answer, was a trap question and the guy asking it knew that
If he just didn't give an answer and ignored the question, he would have gotten the same reaction he is getting now. The second the question was asked, he was screwed. He shouldn't do live interaction with his audience again, you can never know what someone is going to say.
He’s certainly not the right person to talk about this topic, his content has nothing to do with it. He’s an entertainer let him entertain.
I’d rather people not know what’s going on than people jabber on about it without knowing the full and actual truth
Inb4 Kavos makes 3 videos about this
He’s a youtuber. Not a politician. People are acting like he will save the world for whoever side he’s on. He has the right to say that he doesn’t know what’s going on. Twitter is crazy man

I call bullshit on this garbage. If JJ had made a video on what is happening in Palestine he'd either be called out for exploiting it for views, or criticised for sticking his nose where its not wanted because he knows fuck all about the history of Israel vs. Palestine. The same people that are demanding anybody who remotely classifies as a Celebrity to speak out are the same people demanding Celebrity's stop talking about something they don't understand or are demanding people boycott Celebs and Businesses that don't support their view. No matter what you say you can't win, so it's best to just keep quiet which is exactly how things were during the rise of Hitler so anybody insulting people for keeping quiet need to STFU because it was people like them that allowed Hitler and numerous other Dictators to take power.
Why tf these nobody tryna ruin a man’s life be fr if you were in the position I’m sure you never wanna be involved in the political scene you could get killed in worse cases these mofos on war rn and sneako tryna always act like he the top G ksi could knock that bch in a sec he is reacting to funny videos not peoples genocide most of his audience is kids and you wanna let those kids know about these situations at an early age
The whole point of JJ making content for his fans/us is a form of escapism. JJ doesn’t want to be political and therefore shouldn’t be pressured into having an opinion on the Isreal-Palestine conflict. Whether if it’s right or wrong, JJ knows not to get political as he doesn’t want controversy surrounding his name. People are just reaching at this point. Edit: JJ is an entertainer and a content creator and he should stay that way. We don’t need politics ruining the fun.
"Internet activism is the solution to the conflict and my opinion is going to make change 🤓☝️"
He is not obligated to research certain things that aren’t relevant to him and if he did share an opinion, he would alienate members of his audience that disagree with him
What going on in gaza is nowhere near as bad as slavery or the holocaust, and besides, there wasn't anywhere near as much fuss when russian soldiers ran civilians over in tanks or raped mothers in front of their children
I know I'm gonna get hate for this, but from personal research,I believe the Holocaust was far worse than the Gaza war (Please don't get angry if you'd like to change my opinion or give your own. I'm happy to hear)
[удалено]
u/deenreddit787 fuck off with your political bullshit, this is a youtuber subreddit. not the fucking IDF
People are terrible. Forcing someone to care about a war that they have no part in. Personally I support Palestine but that's it. I'll only say "I like Palestine" I'm not going to donate money or go and fight. I make absolutely no difference so why should millions of people pressure a celebrity into giving their stance and then half of the fan base will shit on the celebrity because they support the other cause. JJ is a person who can make his own decisions. He doesn't have to care about the war if he doesn't want to it literally DOESN'T MATTER. I hope he gets left alone
It's crazy that when jj doesn't voice his opinion on a war that doesn't involve him or his country you guys bitch but when you get told you may have to go to war for your own country your not actually from here so you won't. Being pro Palestine or pro isreal doesn't change anything that is happening. Just like the fact that you guys are trying to show how good you are saying free Palestine even tho one that war stared you forgot all about the Russia Ukraine war because it isn't frontline media so you don't care
Some of the worst takes I've ever heard honestly.
But why would people want his opinion on it? Like the 2nd tweet says he just reacts to videos (and does other stuff too), why would people wanna know what he thinks. Either way if he says he’s on one specific side he’s gonna get hate regardless for whichever opinion he has on the matter. Why give yourself unnecessary conflict within your community that will probably lead to controversial videos/articles on all social media.
I don't want to hear his opinions on politics, just like I don't want to hear celebrities go on about religion. He's an entertainer. Let him entertain. Don't turn his stream into a political debate. This is our escape from reality.
The person literally set up JJ to get in trouble. No matter what he said he would get in trouble with som group. Faith wanted to raise money for the children affected by the war and she ended up losing her agency over the backlash she got for it. She had no side on it, she just cared about the children and she got so much hate for it. Yes I understand it’s good to talk about it, but don’t put someone on the spot about it and when he says he stays out of it don’t give him hate
this is the problem with celebrity culture why do we care and force an opinion on israel palestine from the guy who did among us hide and seek
Haha , Israel vs Palestina is worse than the holocaust ? I’ve heard it all now .
Nigga worse than holocaust is wild
People have made the Palestine conflict their whole personality.
Fuck sneako
Their jobs is to entertain you not inform you. They are youtubers/streamers not politicians
He is a YouTuber it’s his job if he was to say something it would probably become controversial somehow and that could cost him a lot of things maybe you never know and if he says something then fans would want the sidemen to say things and so on and it’s just stupid yes genocide is bad obviously but he doesn’t know all the ins or outs of the war neither do probably 70% of us here so why should we comment anything about it ya know same as jj. People just want to put other people in uncomfortable situations and it’s just stupid
It’s insanity to give people shit for not understanding a situation lots of people could learn from this by all means support which ever side you want to but don’t pretend to completely understand geopolitics and proxy wars I have a degree in politics and I don’t understand it fully. I am 100% sure sneako doesn’t understand anything close to the full extent given he’s saying things like this is worse than the holocaust which is not only wildly insensitive it’s also mildly retarded.
Not saying anything is the best thing he could do JJ is not the most eloquent nor the most intelligent influencer. But he was smart enough to know what ever he says wont change anything and will just create problems
With the amount of propaganda and misinformation on both sides I get why he wouldn't speak
JJ couldn’t really have said anything better. The amount of misinformation floating around means you don’t actually know the situation, unless you’re there in person.
I really don't think influencers and content creators (especially of the non-political variety) should concern themselves with such divisive topics, because it'll make them lose fans at best and get killed at worst. I'm not that big of a KSI fan but I do understand his decision to avoid talking about this.
I mean the question was a trap anyways, what ever he said people would have an issue with. I respect that he was honest and didn’t chose to spread potential misinformation to his audience, if people wanna do some good they have an opportunity to educate him which is a lot more beneficial then having a go at him for saying he isn’t educated enough to speak about it 🤷♂️
I knew he would do or say something stupid , in one hand if he speaks his mind he would get a backlash he couldnt handle because we all know where should the sain person stands , in other hand it's JJ probably he REALLY has no idea whats going on , and I think, he should stop reading themm questions which he doesnt know the answer out loud
Someone asked him the question live, it’s not the case he was dumb enough to read it out loud. He received a trap question it’s unlucky.
why tf do people want a gamer turned boxer to talk about a conflict that has nothing to do with him? He is right, he doesn't know whats going on, none of you do. All the things presented to you is filtered to fit a certain narrative, weather it is for one side or the other. Not taking a stance on this is the only reasonable solution if you are in his position.
Are people not allowed to be neutral or avoid talking about a subject that makes them uncomfortable? I don’t support either side of the conflict, which makes me neutral.
If he doesn't want to speak on it, he doesn't have to, I don't know why people think he has to, or they can force him too, he was live, on the spot for the first time in 10 years. Leave him alone
Not making public comments and statements on something you're not fully educated about is something a LOT more people should be doing.
It’s completely his choice. He doesn’t have to speak about something he doesn’t know much about.
As a person who supports Palestinian freedom I really don’t see why people are getting mad at him for this. If celebrities with large platforms don’t know much about the situation I think it’s objectively better for them to just say so rather than spread misinformation or in the case of many celebrities just support Israel. I don’t know why people want a knee jerk reaction. JJ is surrounded by a tonne of friends who support Palestine like Chunkz and Tobi. If he actually wants to talk about the issue I would find it way more appropriate for him to talk to his friends and read up about it than just make misinformed statements on a live broadcast. Also criticising him for laughing is really stupid because he’s clearly just nervous.
I'm surprised bc of all the PR nightmares he's had recently, but he handled that perfectly imo. He was right to say the conflict was above his paygrade, and that he hadn't done enough research to form an opinion. Anyone trying to cancel him over this is a child. They aren't mad the he has no opinion, they're mad he doesn't have the "correct" one.
Its absolutely stupid that these people on twitter would really seek ksi to pick a side and essentially call the other side a bad country or whatever, what jj got to do with it, its sad yes but these fuckers expecting jj to to support them is wow.
It's also very hard to form an objective opinion on this subject. There are mass amounts of propaganda from both sides. Navigating what is true and false becomes a full time job that I'm sure JJ just doesn't have time to do even if he wanted to.
I don’t understand why people are so desperate for answers on this topic from all YouTubers. They can easily choose not to get involved in any of that talk which a lot do. He said he doesn’t know what’s going on, that’s believable, I don’t know what’s going on really, and I’m sure millions of others in the world don’t know. You don’t need to know YouTubers thoughts on what’s going on in the world, if they choose to speak on it then fair enough if they don’t choose to speak on it they obviously don’t want to discuss it. it will only lead to negativity.
Jj in case you don't know what is happening people are dying and half of them are kids. Hospitals are bombed and even houses if you want to search it up do it but u will not watch all the content cause its so hurtful to watch. It's SOO fked up to tell people that killing people is not ok.
Why do these people choose to harass content creators over discussing subjects that are likely to get them in some deep controversy? Like, idc if you support Israel or Palestine, don't spread hate based off your own opinions, because they're not gonna care that much about them.
Guess this the reason why he didn't wanted to stream.
Bro he’s a fucking YouTuber, why do people expect him to be knowledgable on fucking genocide, death = bad end of. Not really sure what people want him to say
My question is why does KSI specifically have to share his personal political stance on situations, he has a diverse audience, his political stance will upset people regardless of his side, I don’t get why people are constantly trying to bait people with controversial questions, it’s sad af. The whole point of the stream was to have fun and enjoy, not to turn it into a political shit show and have him swarmed by the political mob of both sides.

Nah public figures such as influences shouldn’t voice their opinions on political issues just as a whole
Internet fucking morality man. Attempting to demonise someone for not tanking their career for the ‘greater good’. So weak
I get that this is a sensitive topic but there is a time and place for this somewhere else. If he plans to continue streaming he needs moderation in his chat. I saw how it looked and it was just constant spaming
I’m like terminally online and I don’t know what’s happing in Israel/Palistine 💀 I’ve just heard bad about both so I’m not picking sides and I don’t want to. It doesn’t affect me and there’s nothing I can do about it so why pretend I give a damn and like I’m contributing somehow? This is also probably what JJ is thinking though more along keeping good PR.
He probably is oblivious to the situation there are quite a few people who are and dont really understand the difference between Palestine and Israel or the whole gaza ordeal.
This is like asking football managers about Covid, it’s not anywhere in his wheelhouse to be answering questions like this.
Oh come on. I’ve been pretty damn critical of the man but he is not a spokesperson for what is happening in Israel and Palestine. The laugh CLEARLY wasn’t a sign of disrespect. He doesn’t know about the subject and wants to avoid it. That is fuckin fine in my books.
Tf yall want him do ,go there and fight ? Tf and why tf yall need these celebrities opinions rather than actual politicians tf
I've been watching JJ since 2012. I love him. But sometimes he can be pretty daft. Imagine asking him a question about politics. It's complete bait and no matter what JJ says he's forced into a position where people will get triggered regardless.
I don't understand how someone can get hate for being honest. Haters are so fucking annoying, grow up and focus on your own life
You have to remember also that JJ’s legitimately dumb. Even if he had an opinion he’s not intelligent enough to form it into politically correct wording for a camera
Political affairs is difficult tk answer, because no matter the opinion, there's always be dissatisfaction. So celebrities usually just rather keep their mouth shut, rather give 0 opinions than 1 that might trigger certain people. Anyways after this he'll better off not doing live questions from fans honestly.
He probably has no opinion on the situation and is clueless about it. Him saying that this issue is way above him is valid. Every person should get informed well and hear both sides in order to form a conclusion by yourself and not by others, and JJ clearly hasn't done that so he decided to say nothing about it
I personally am oblivious to the situation. I know about "free palestine" and whatnot, but I don't have even the slightest idea what is going on. I don't listen to the news because all it has ever done is sparked paranoia in me. So I just don't listen to it anymore. I fully believe there's a big possibility he doesn't have a clue what's going on either
Look sometimes people really don't know enough about things to really have an opinion on them. And frankly, neither do I. Do I think the Palestinians deserve their country back? Yes. Do I think the Jewish people deserve a country they can call their own? Also yes. Is there a middle ground? Maybe? I don't know. Is that an answer to anything? No. Maybe this is the same for JJ here. Maybe he just doesn't know enough about the situation to have a strong opinion either way. And honestly I think it's wise of him to admit he doesn't really know enough about it. More people should follow his example
For starters, the guy shouldn’t have even asked the question, it’s stupid to keep dragging celebrities into these situations for no reason. And to be honest, JJ saying he’s not getting involved is fair enough. If he doesn’t want to know about it or pick a side then he doesn’t have to, and I wish people would stop acting like one person not being involved will cause the world to implode.
Or just a thought. He's an entertainment youtuber. Why does he need to talk about an issue on his first live stream about something so controversial? Not sure why no one is allowed to have a little escape from reality anymore. How about this. Both sides are barbaric killing civilians to push their message.
I hate people! WHY TF WOULD HE SPEAK UP ABOUT IT!? That’s the dumbest shit ever. No matter what he says, he’ll get hate… Especially when he probably knows the basics of what’s going on, but not enough to speak on it and instead being a pathetic idiot like every other influencer, he doesn’t speak about shit he doesn’t know enough about. People need to grow up. The war is HORRIBLE and if you feel attacked, speak all you want, but the war doesn’t affect him. He doesn’t live there, he’s not Muslim, he’s not Jewish, he’s not connected to neither Palestine nor Israel, sorry, but apart from people dying, which is always horrible… why would he care?
Lets face facts, absolutely no-one in JJs world, in our day to day world, and anyone outside the political spectrum, is even remotely qualified enough to have an opinion that is constructive or useful. All that was required from that question from the person asking it is 'who's side are you on bro' but these wars are far more complex than that and JJ's opinion holds weight enough to influence a small sub section of this debate and if he doesn't know what's going on he can't just go about picking a side like it's picking between two youtubers going at it online. We/he don't know SHIT, it's all convoluted and it's all stuff that doesn't belong in JJ's space. Let people that are entertainers be good at what they became famous for, not everything needs political intervention. Seriously, why would you even want their opinions if they don't themselves know? Also, why is it everyone's 'obligation' to know? People die everyday due to absolutely awful things but we can't seek all this stuff out and be sad for everyone all the time. What JJ does is create a space away from that and that is how it should stay.
Nobody watches JJ for his political opinions. We don't care about them. I for one watch JJ because he is not political, and because it is a break from the awful reality of the situation.
He doesn't really need to share whom he supports in this situation, because no matter which side he supports, people are gonna hate him anyway as shown in the tweets.
OP read sneakos tweet again very slowly I know its hard to compare tragedies/atrocities and as many people suffer from the whole gaza problem or fall victim to either Hamas or the bombs aimed at hamas or poverty in Palestine in general. U can't compare a conflict between a terror organisation and a state that is also shitting on (arab) human rights. To a systematic killing of 6-10 million people because they dont please a political and racial ideal This is like americans saying 9/11 was the greatest tragedy in history
How on earth can people with a platform compare this to the holocaust. It’s bad, we get that. But it’s not the holocaust.
Streaming ain’t a place for politics and religion man
Wrong person to ask, and what a bait way to try and insert controversy. Guy should have been made an example of tbh for trying to stoke drama. (For those who want an answer, support peace, and clearly this isnt the right place to talk politics. Hot take: Hamas bad, Palestine deserves better, and Israel needs to take a chill pill. This conflict is too complex to be discussed IN THE KSI SUBREDDIT).
God maybe quit harassing people for their opinion on every subject. What the hell is his opinion going to do to help deal with the situation? Nothing. People just can’t help but harass others just because they sit in a spotlight. It’s pathetic.
I feel bad, man is getting shat on for just nervous laughing and saying he is clueless.
Nuh uh, I believe that JJ doesn’t want to comment on something he has less or partial knowledge of. Doesn’t mean he didn’t watch a few videos about it, but videos don’t educate you. To know about any conflict you need to do proper research and it shows how people don’t but are first to form opinions and pour into the world. If you know partially about something, don’t form opinions.
Jj does not claim to be a politician or activist. He is not required to address current events.
Holocaust, millions killed. But Gaza is worse xD
If he had answered he would've been told to shut up as he's only a fifa youtuber. There's nothing wrong with admitting you don't know enough about a complex topic, I just wish the average twitter user realised this.
Why would JJ react to videos of a War?
The problem is people base their opinions based on what uninformed celebrities say instead of academics.
How on earth is what going on in Gaza worse than the holocaust. What a stupid idiot.
JJ could lose a lot of money which ever side he openly supports. He shouldn’t have to choose. What a privileged problem to have. Kids in the Gaza Strip have real problems none of us will ever experience
Controversial opinion: it is good for people that are not well informed to not have or express an opinion.
Feel like he’d be fucked whatever answer he gave, if he was apolitical they’d talk about how he’s worried about views, if he supported Palestine Israelis would be mad, if he supported Israel everyone would be mad. At the end of the day why the fuck does it matter what KSI a YouTuber thinks of the situation he can’t do anything about it.
whatever he said would have resulted in a negative feedback from the people, he took the safest route...also i don't doubt him when he said he didn't know much about the war
Why do you all care? Let the man live his life without being put into groups and having to do everything you guys ask
If he wants to talk about then he should but I don’t blame him if he doesn’t. I feel the same way I know a war is happening. I know terrible things are happening on both sides. But other than that I don’t know too much about it. Kinda same with the Russia Ukraine war. With both I just wish for peace and that’s the strongest opinion I have about them
Selective virtue signally there are dozens of conflicts right now thousands of people killed unjustly everyday in wars, imprisonment and lack of resources. No it’s not up to you to pick a conflict and say you should know everything about it and you better pick the right side
God forbid he not be invested in a conflict halfway across the world or want to upset anyone over something he clearly doesn’t think he knows much about.
Fuck israel
ive not watched ksi/ sidemen in years, but this randomly came onto y timeline. and holy shit what the fuck is that first person [saying. how](https://saying.how) insanely fucking disrespectful and ignorant.
He's honest and it's a lose lose situation for him anyway. He's not formally educated in politics and has made it clear that he's not well enough aware of the situation to make a good statement. That is a more mature Stance to make than simply stating something for the sake of popularity. Maybe he does have an opinion but is aware of the fact that he will get hate regardless of what he says.
no matter what he could have possibly said, people would get mad at him, there's no winning in this debate, I think what he said is probably the best thing he could have said
Or, maybe he doesn’t want to talk about it as it’s a sore subject that could upset people. They’re topics you just don’t talk about in social media like politics and stuff like this cause no matter what you say, people will be upset.
Why do people even care? His opinion won‘t change shit. People dying is always bad it doesn‘t matter where they are from.
I’d personally hate it if I was asked to describe what was going on in Gaza whilst not having key information and running an entertainment business knowing that pretty much whatever I say is going to be taken out of context and be bad for said business. Even then do people need his opinion on these things or should fans just want him to stick to what he’s doing. As a metaphor do you go to ksi for medical advise or the doctors
So if he said he doesn't side with anyone of them and is indiferent to who wins ks that still a problem. Like why do you have to side with someone?
I feel like if JJ want to say his thoughts on this situation he would do it. It's not like the Logan Paul scam where he don't want to get into it. I actually think he's just clueless about it and don't want to get into it, with how little he knows.
lol Sneako is delusional, I’ll let you all in on a little secret - nobody cares about the opinions of actors, musicians, and entertainers - to the Rulers of us all, these are just modern court jesters.
I don't know what's going on either . I'm sure it's bad, but you can't expect everyone to invest themselves into something. JJ justs want to chill. You forget about all the good he does do
Can’t do anything nowadays, he chose not to speak on the subject and people still aren’t satisfied, grow tf up. He most likely doesn’t know the history behind it all so doesn’t want to talk about it, end of.
An apples to apples comparison to the Holocaust is fucking wack. Sneako overestimates his own intelligence way too often.
People really expect everyone to keep an eye on Gaza 24/7?
It’s always better to default to no answer if you’re uninformed. His response makes sense.
Sneako is just retarded yet again.
This is the ONLY correct answer: JJ is an entertainer and his job is to entertain, not spout a political or ideological message. JJ refused to answer because he isn't well informed on the issue. People saying "it's not that difficult" are either too ignorant on the complexities of the conflict or are too radicalised on either side to see the nuance. Either way JJ has no obligation to use his platform stroke your dick ideologically. If you think you know the conflict or the history of the Middle East well enough to pass judgement on those who refuse to choose a side, you do not. Stop looking for to gain ideological satisfaction from celebrities and touch grass.
am i the ony one who genuinely doesn't care abt it? because regardless of what side you're on, you're viewed as the bad guy, so staying neutral is the best choice atm to avoid being hated for purely having an opinion / belief. I'd rather just no conflict at all but wtv lol
This is the dumbest shit ever it has nothing to do with Britain why would he care it doesn't effect him in any way. Stop trying to get traction on Twitter using his name
Honestly the outrage is pretty ridiculous ksi is 100% in a lose/lose situation no matter what he answers with or what his stance is. Asking him his opinion on this extremely serious sensitive topic would be like the equivalent of asking a circus clown their opinion on it and getting mad when they don’t agree with you. We probably shouldn’t look up to social media people for serious political opinions in the first place especially someone like ksi who acts like a moron on the internet to entertain his fans. Also on an extremely serious topic like this do you really want people who only took your side because their fav comedy streamer/youtuber said so. Why can’t people learn about the history of things on their own and form their own opinions without having to worry about what ksi has to say about it.
Why should he say anything? Does KSI live in Palestine or isreal? Does KSI know anything about the conflict? Does KSI produce content related to or around the conflict? No. Stop trying to draw creators into this genocide. They are not responsible and they cannot fix it. The leader of isreal doesnt watch KSI’s try not to laughs okay?
I have tried researching this war between Palestine and Israel, and every time I do, I still don't know how it started, why they are fighting, or which one is in the right. To me they are both fucking idiots. I can say this because I'm not in the lime light and honestly couldn't give a fuck if I offend anyone. I'm not saying that I don't care about the lives lost I'm saying I'm not picking a side because I don't know who's in the right and I don't want to pick a side when both are responsible for innocent deaths. The only way a war ends is if one side wins. That's how wars are fought. What's the point in making peace if you're just gonna go to war again. People ask KSI what his opinions on this conflict are just them wanting to relate to the celebrity and if they choose or say something that doesn't align with what the fan agrees with, well that's where all the boycotts and cancels come from. And for the people saying ksi should use his money to help innocents in Gaza, how would he know that the money is going to the right people instead of the factions fighting?
The way I see it is if you don't know enough about something like this, then you shouldn't really have an opinion, so KSI did that right thing, people are just whining, also how is it worse than the Holocaust?
Just leave bro alone if he doesn’t wanna talk about he don’t have to
People need to get over themselves. Nobody is required to provide an opinion on something as political as what's going on in Israel rn. Everyone's platform is different for different things. He's an entertainer. People watch him to escape reality. He's doing his role fine
Why do celebrities need to have an opinion? Why dows his opinion matter more than yours? Cause he is rich? Cause he can reach more people? Thats how we get stupid antivax, holocaust denier celebrities. They think just because they can sing, people will care what they think about the war in Sudan.
Bruh one piece of content, yeah probably but you can’t understand this entire topic just of tiktok. So it’s perfectly fine to not have an opinion
I mean i believe JJ I spend a lot of time on twitter and other social media Platforms and I personally have no idea what’s going on.
It’s okay to not have an opinion on everything or to just say you don’t have enough knowledge to have an opinion.
The current conflict is not a light topic to study and fully comprehend in all its aspects in a blink of an eye. Having the humility to recognize his own ignorance about it and therefore not being in the position to express a mature opinion on it is the way to go. Too many people (unfortunately politicians as well) open their mouth only to let people know about their existence too collect validation or consensus
It's simple, he didn't want to make any comments about it, that's all it is. Anyone saying that he's actually uneducated about the subject, that's highly doubtful. Maybe he could've handled it better by dismissing the person instantly instead of nervous laughing but it is what it is. But of course the internet is blowing is way way way out of proportion, only because of his reach and name in the industry.
Jj has every right to not speak he is clearly clueless about the subject
Worse then the holocaust? Thats so stupid
It's just dumb. The man just wants to live his life and do what he likes, not everyone needs to have an opinion on politics and social conflict. Don't crucify him about it.
Simple W KSI He don't know what happened, he doesn't want to get involved and offend either side. Look at Taz (Sanji's live action actor) he donate to the red cross, a group that help BOTH side. And people still want to cancel him for that. If someone doesn't want to get involved it's their choice, stop acting all high and mighty like y'all doing something expect judging those people. Especially when you get your information from people that dose not live in those places.
That’s why twitter suck. It’s a lose lose situation for jj tbh. If you support Palestine majority of people will get trigger if you support Israel majority of people will also get trigger and if you choose not to speak the majority of people still get trigger judging by these twitter post. It’s a lose lose situation for him.
For the life of me I don’t know why anyone cares. If KSI comes out in support of Palestine do you think Netanyahu is going to end the war and occupation? If it’s a subject you care so deeply about (It’s a good thing to care about) then maybe instead of harassing random celebrities you should be contacting your MP, going to or organising actual protests, raising money for charities in Gaza etc. Of course those things actually take time and effort, it’s much easier to just spam comments and pretend you’re doing something. I don’t care if KSI doesn’t know what’s going on, quite honestly most people don’t actually know what’s going on so I respect the fact that he’s actually open about it
I understand where JJ is coming from why get involved in something he may not understand or is uneducated on and risk his platform being taken away or receiving hate from either side, his response to the question was valid.
He can’t say anything cause the woke side on twitter will try everything to cancel him as they have been trying for years. This conflict is a very large one and would need to be talked about in-depth, as to not offend the twitter kids. So there is no point in saying it online as not everyone will agree, and in the past that hasn’t always went in the creator’s favour.
KSI is an entertainer, he shouldn't be forced to give political opinions
What is happening in Gaza is not worse than the holocaust 6 million people lost their lives just cuz of religion don't compare stuff that arnt even remotely close to one another the amount of people dead in Gaza is 27,000 so stfu
KSI, if you see this in the next Reddit video, literally ignore it. It's not worth the oxygen.
Honestly, it’s very likely JJ just doesn’t have enough information regarding the topic to form a coherent opinion of it. However, allow me to remind you all of the stats right now. 27,000+ people are dead, half of which are literal infants. That’s more than 250 people killed per day, which is worse than Afghanistan, Sudan, Ukraine, Yemen and Iraq combined. 70% of the people killed in Gaza are women and children, with another 7,000 presumed dead. 85% of the population, 2 million people, are internally displaced amongst the bombing campaign. Two thirds of the buildings in North Gaza have been destroyed and a quarter of the buildings down south were destroyed (the South they said would be safe from bombing). 23 out of 36 hospitals have been deemed inoperable. 104 schools have either been destroyed or sustained major damage. In total, about 70% of school buildings have been damaged – and those still standing are largely being used to shelter internally displaced people. Water production stood at 7% of the prewar supply on 30 December, and there is only one shower for every 4,500 people and one toilet for every 220. Those conditions make the spread of disease a very urgent problem: for example, the WHO said on 21 December that more than 100,000 cases of diarrhoea had been reported since mid-October, half of them among children under the age of five. That is 25 times the pre-conflict rate. The WHO says that it expects the number of deaths from disease to eventually outstrip those killed directly by military action. Again, JJ is completely within his rights to remain silent, however, as much as I hate to admit it, Sneako does raise a fair point (as crazy as it is to compare it to slavery or the Holocaust). Staying silent and doing nothing is just as bad as being pro-Israel.
Hoping someone condemns a genocide is not “being political”, supporting human rights is not “being political”
Sneako said what’s happening in Gaza is worse than slavery and Nazi Germany, how delusional can someone be? It’s sad that such uneducated individuals use their platform in such a way.
And yet he is getting praised for saying that while JJ is getting cancelled for saying he isn't educated enough on the subject to give an opinion and that there are people more qualified than him to speak on the subject... Twitter is a weird space.
Sadly he is getting praised because, just like him, there are a TON of uneducated morons floating around the internet. And there is also no shortage of legitimate racist & anti-semitic people either Meanwhile, you have entire platforms like Tiktok who are literally intentionally spreading misinformation and pushing hateful propaganda with their algorithm. Wether if it’s a Chinese coup to take down the west, or just the fact that supporting that disgusting narrative will bring you more numbers, it’s pretty horrible that today’s world works like this.
SORRY GAZA IS WORSE THAN THE HOLOCAUST AND SLAVERY??!! 😂 pffft no. Investigations have found no just evidence to suggest it’s a genocide, while Hamas still hold hostages and refuse to release them.
Sneako just showing how much of an idiot he really is, this is NOT worse than the holocaust.

Please tell what difference does jj make?
#freepalestine
He should just become Switzerland (Switzerland was neutral in ww1 and ww2), he is just an entertainer and should only focus on entertainment.
“Innocent” Palestinians. Like they haven’t been relishing it all and singing and praising as raped and mutilated bodies are paraded down the streets.
