While bombs rain down on Gaza, viral videos show Israelis dancing to Beyonce’s ‘Renaissance tour’ film

Social media has been outraged after several videos went viral on the internet where Israelis can be seen dancing to Beyonce’s ‘Renaissance Film’, playing in theatres this week. At the same time, Gaza is being bombarded with severe airstrikes.

In the videos, Israelis can be seen dancing to ‘Break My Soul’, claiming it was the IDF’s new fight song against the Hamas. Twitter users expressed outrage at Beyonce’s silence on the on-going genocide, after several X (formerly Twitter) users have pleaded with her to pull the film from Israel.

“THIS is why Beyonce not allowing her film to screen in Israel mattered . This is why- even if the location of screenings was out of her control (debatable) she should have at LEAST made a Pro-Palestine statement. Now a song about Black liberation is tied to a GENOCIDE.”

Many expressed outrage on how Beyonce had the power to refuse this, but chose to let this happen.

As a woman who aligns herself with the black panther movement who supported Palestine, and has an influential political presence, you should have refused this. @beyonce

You have boycotted Israel before by denying the FWT dates in Tel Aviv, where are you now? https://t.co/IBmoT3ZrnV

Beyoncé took her own advice of staying mute truly to HEART & remained mute while we are forced to watch Israelis celebrating her film screening on stolen land while the Palestinians are being annihilated out of existence.

you all treat beyoncé like your slightly flawed, at-times morally questionable big sister or aunt instead of the multinational corporation that she is. and i don’t even care about your obsession, i just find the criticisms from people who hyper-obsess over her every move absurd!
