Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Halsey regrets letting 'cowardice' stop her from speaking out about Israel-Hamas war
Caption: Halsey regrets letting 'cowardice' stop her from speaking out about Israel-Hamas war. The Without Me singer, who uses both she and they pronouns, issued a lengthy statement on Instagram on Tuesday to explain why she has been silent about the Israel-Hamas war since it began in early October, "especially after (her) supremely vocal support of the Palestinian people the past few years”. "I am, truthfully, exceptionally anxious about navigating my responsibility as a career activist as it pertains to my daily life off of social media: Being the mother of a small child and a member of my community, in addition to the contribution of my greater voice and platform.” The 29-year-old, who has a two-year-old son named Ender, explained that a series of "violent and threatening events" occurred during her last tour and they have made her more conscious about expressing her opinions. The singer continued: "After that happened, I made a conscious decision to protect my family from people who plan to enact violence towards me in disagreement of my opinions.” "However. It doesn't sit right with me that a decision I made for my own family is in turn keeping me from vocalizing support for families enduring far worse violence.” Halsey stated that their politics remained "unchanged" and they are against hate speech and acts of violence against innocent people. She noted that she will be making sizeable donations to organisations offering relief and support in the region. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
