Boycott Bollywood trends again after stars extend support to Palestine, Pooja Bhatt reacts

<p>British-Albanian pop singer Dua Lipa has denounced Israel's offensive in Gaza as a "genocide", after a new pro-Palestinian protest took place in London that saw dozens of people arrested.</p>

<p>"Burning children alive can never be justified. The whole world is mobilising to stop the Israeli genocide", the singer wrote on an Instagram story late Tuesday with the hashtag "#AllEyesOnRafah", which has been trending on social media.</p>
