As South Africa's legal team presented a case on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the ICJ in The Hague, South Africans came guns blazing at our local celebs who visited Israel and were unapologetic about it.

Some people unearthed old posts from stars such as Anele Mdoda and Black Coffee, addressing the backlash they received back then.

Like Black Coffee, Anele Mdoda trended for her tweets about visiting Israel and commending the country's beauty.

In her tweet, Anele wrote:

“Israel is beautiful *please do not post your political babble on my page; I am not saying the politics here are pretty I'm saying the land is beautiful; please respect my page and my opinions.“

In the same breath, Lalela Mswane got dragged for participating in the Miss Universe pageant in Eilat, Israel, in 2021. The Former Miss South Africa also started trending online.
