Aside from Gomez's alleged beef with Bieber, she also faced terrible backlash over a statement she shared about the Israel-Hamas conflict.
"I wish I could change the world. But a post won't," she wrote in a statement shared on Instagram, which irked netizens.

People accused Gomez of being self-centered, and that she was trying to "make it about herself." The singer put down the statement and pledged donations in support of Palestine, but she was criticized once again when people noticed she also donated to a group run by Israelis.
