From 2014 to Today: a History of Lady Gaga's Past Israel Comments
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Gaga has never shied away from domestic politics. Since launching the Born This Way Foundation alongside her mother Cynthia Germanotta in 2012, the singer has channeled significant capital and personal advocacy into mental health resources, youth empowerment, and anti-bullying programs.
Her civic engagement inside the United States is extensive:
- Advocating openly for the repeal of the US military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
- Headlining benefit rallies for LGBTQ+ youth shelters and suicide prevention hotlines.
- Campaigning alongside Joe Biden during the 2020 US presidential race and performing at the 2021 presidential inauguration.
This willingness to take unequivocal stands on American domestic policies makes her silence on foreign conflicts noticeable. When it comes to foreign policy, Gaga adopts an approach common among legacy pop superstars: universal humanism paired with targeted silence. She focuses on broad calls for mental wellness rather than navigating the complex realities of international territorial disputes.
