The call to boycott Bruno Mars has been trending on Indonesian social media. Several accounts have shared news links claiming that Bruno Mars has expressed his support for Israel.
The controversy stems from Bruno Mars’ concert in Israel.

The concert was attended by 60,000 people and was quite festive. During the concert, Bruno Mars addressed the audience.
“Tel Aviv! The Hooligans have finally made it to Israel,” he said.
During the concert, the singer of “Talking to the Moon” also said, “I love Israel.”
Allegations of being pro-Israel directed at Bruno Mars have spread widely on social media. Many netizens have condemned the presence of the Hawaii-born American singer.
Besides Bruno Mars, several other singers have also been accused of being pro-Israel. Some have openly supported Zionist Israel, resulting in backlash from netizens in Indonesia. Additionally, some singers have faced strong reactions due to their planned concerts in Israel.
