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.

Can I collect your $5?

Because it looks like pretty much all of the comments in the article were the opposite take:

"If you're neutral in situations of injustice, you've chosen the side of the oppressor," said lifeashira.

"Call it what it is a genocide!!" said Afuhana Suria. "Disappointed but then again expected nothing less from the likes of you!!"

"Interesting that even after 3 weeks, you are still choosing to acknowledge Israel before Palestine," wrote KK.

"You've lost my respect," said A.T, while allyroza commented: "You can now stop calling yourself a humanitarian. Shame on you."
