DJ Khaled Criticized for Silent Stance on Gaza Amid Maqlooba Segment

Palestinian-American DJ Khaled is under fire after eating maqlooba, a traditional Palestinian dish, during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Critics on social media accuse DJ Khaled of hypocrisy, pointing out his silence on the genocide unfolding in Gaza for over a year.

While Gaza faces devastating attacks, widespread displacement, and mass casualties, Khaled’s televised celebration of Palestinian culture struck many as performative. Some have even labeled the moment a “humiliation ritual,” calling on him to use his platform to advocate for his people. Khaled has yet to comment on the backlash.

Here are some of the tweets:
