Kehlani, the R&B singer with strong pro-Palestinian views, has faced consequences for their stance, including the cancellation of a concert at Cornell University. University president cited concerns over Kehlani's perceived antisemitic sentiments in their performances. In response, Kehlani clarified via social media that they are not antisemitic but rather anti-genocide and critical of the Israeli government’s actions. They emphasized their collaboration with Jewish Voices for Peace and condemned violence against innocent civilians, positioning their activism towards advocating for Palestinian rights while opposing any form of hate.
"I'm being asked and called to clarify and make a statement yet again for the millionth time that I am not antisemitic nor anti-Jew."
"I am anti-genocide, I am anti the actions of the Israeli government... I am anti the bombing of innocent children, men, women. That's what I'm anti."
