Think you know your fav celebs?! These celebs proudly stood up for what they believe and refused to be intimidated by their peers or fans
1. Kimye – obviously… They took both their kids to be baptized in Israel! Duh! (Click here for the full article)
2. Scarlett Johansson – well, we all remember the (almost-) Super Bowl ad
3. Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga has already had 2 concerts in Israel, and she was smitten with it! “The world view of Israel is just not reality,” the singer stated in an interview given in 2014.
Her presence in Israel in the summer of 2014 was all the more significant, as several other artists had cancelled due to security concerns over the war with Gaza.
Lady Gaga came, performed, got mad love from the audience and stated in reply: “You are strong, you are brave, you are confident, and I f*cking love you, Israel.” Right back at you, Gaga!

4. Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi couldn’t care less about the efforts of BDS and other fellow artists to dissuade him from performing in Israel, (after all, it’s his life…). Claiming he has always wanted to tour here, the artist decided now is exactly the right time to finally get down to business, and 50,000 fans heartily agreed.
The artist was a class act and after another tense day in Israel dedicated his song “We don’t run” to the excited crowd with the words “This should be the fight song for Tel Aviv!” You got that right, Bon Jovi!
