Concluding her post, the Academy Award winner called for a ceasefire, writing: “Palestinian and Israeli lives—and the lives of all people globally—matter equally.” “Anything that can prevent civilian casualties and save lives most be done,” she said.

Although some followers praised the Maleficent star for her statement, which had received more than 777,000 likes at time of publishing, others slammed Jolie for refusing to choose sides.

“How did you manage to say so much without saying anything at all?” said Marcelina Maria.

    Refusing to choose sides? She chose the side of the civilians, isn’t that a valid side to these people? Is the only choice in which side should get to slaughter the others?

    In my household she was pretty much hated for breaking up brad pitt and jennifer aniston and we were actually just talking about how she’s kind of redeemed herself with that statement.
