Selena Gomez, in an Instagram post addressing Israel's attacks on Gaza, used the following expressions: "We must protect all people, especially children, and put an end to violence completely. I'm sorry that my words or a hashtag will never be enough for anyone. I can't bear to see innocent people suffer. It sickens me. I wish I could change the world, but a post won't change anything."
After expressing support for UNICEF's donation campaign for aid following the start of the Russia-Ukraine War, Gomez's use of the phrase "A post won't change (the world)" regarding Gaza sparked reactions on social media.
Following the reactions, it was announced on Gomez's cosmetics brand "Rare Beauty"'s Instagram account that donations would be made for Gaza.
