As the world’s most famous Palestinian, you would think DJ Khaled might have something to say about the plight of his people or at least have some kind of comment to make on the ongoing Israel-Palestine, but instead he’s been busy posting tomato sauce reviews on Instagram and riding his jetski around town while yelling “we the best.”
Naturally, the internet has noticed, as have people at pro Palestine marches around the world:

DJ Khaled is a waste of space! Y’all gotta stop giving these clowns a platform. He’s got time to film himself stuffing his stomach with food from Zionist organizations, but can’t make a quick vid to speak on Palestine? Nah, all that obesity is rotting his brain.😭 #FreePalestine pic.twitter.com/SO8Ep1VV3l

In fairness to DJ Khaled, he was born in America and never actually lived in Palestine, and it’s not like anything he says will make a difference to anything anyway (except upset his bosses and risk his own livelihood), so why should he be expected to speak up? It will only give him more personal and professional headaches to deal with, whilst changing nothing about the conflict.
I guess given how loud and annoying he is on every track, it’s just surprising that he’d have nothing to say about the war in his ancestral homeland. Although maybe he’s still having a hard time processing it all. Remember when he had a full-blown panic attack when a girl started twerking for him on Instagram Live? He’s a sensitive guy.
