On the opening night of his world tour beginning in Amsterdam on Saturday, global superstar Harry Styles backed a brief pro-Palestinian chant from the crowd. It was his first public comment on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, after years of expressing an affinity for Jewish culture.<\/p>\n
The Amsterdam concert Saturday was the first of his Together, Together tour, held at the Johan Cruijff Arena.<\/p>\n
Following Styles\u2019 remarks about \u201cchanging the world together,\u201d in between songs, an attendee shouted, \u201cViva, Viva Palestina\u201d (meaning, \u201cLong Live Palestine\u201d), to which Styles replied, \u201cCorrect.\u201d<\/p>\n

While competing on the British talent show The X Factor in 2010, where he rose to stardom, Styles stayed with the Orthodox Jewish Winston family<\/a>, with whom he became close and considers mentors. In 2014, Styles announced that his New Year\u2019s resolution<\/a> was to learn Hebrew.<\/p>\n Saturday\u2019s show was the latest demonstration of pro-Palestine solidarity in the concert space since the Oct 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. Some performers have integrated pro-Palestine activism into their concerts by creating large displays with flags<\/a> and visuals accusing Israel of genocide. Others have called for an end to the war in Gaza<\/a>, and some have dedicated entire concerts<\/a> to raising funds for Palestinian charities.<\/p>\n Other articles, including some who are Jewish, have faced hecklers<\/a> making pro-Palestine comments who were later removed by security. In Britain, a member of the Irish band Kneecap faced terrorism charges for holding a Hezbollah flag, though they were later dropped<\/a>. Kneecap has been vocally pro-Palestine since they formed in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n The post Pop star Harry Styles to \u2018Viva Palestina\u2019 concertgoer in Amsterdam: \u2018Correct\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Jewish Telegraphic Agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n
