Singer and actress Demi Lovato recently went on a trip to Israel where she was baptized and took some time to “recharge”.

Then, the next thing you know, all the snowflakes got worked up over her trip once she posted some photos on Instagram.

Lovato included the following caption with the photo

I am an American singer. I was raised Christian and have Jewish ancestors. When I was offered an amazing opportunity to visit the places I’d read about in the Bible growing up, I said yes.

There is something absolutely magical about Israel. I’ve never felt such a sense of spirituality or connection to God…something I’ve been missing for a few years now. Spirituality is so important to me…to be baptized in the Jordan river – the same place Jesus was baptized – I’ve never felt more renewed in my life.

This trip has been so important for my well-being, my heart, and my soul. I’m grateful for the memories made and the opportunity to be able to fill the God-sized hole in my heart. Thank you for having me, Israel 💗

The singer first put up a short apology saying, “I’m sorry if I’ve hurt or offended anyone,” but quickly deleted it to put a more lengthy apology.

“I’m extremely frustrated. I accepted a free trip to Israel in exchange for a few posts. No one told me there would be anything wrong with going or that I could possibly be offending anyone. With that being said, I’m sorry if I’ve hurt or offended anyone, that was not my intention.”

“Sometimes people present you with opportunities and no one tells you the potential backlash you could face in return. This was meant to be a spiritual experience for me, NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT and now I realize it hurt people and for that I’m sorry. Sorry I’m not more educated, and sorry for thinking this trip was just a spiritual experience.”

“Going against all advice right now and apologizing because it feels right to me and I’d rather get in trouble for being authentic to myself, than staying quiet to please other people. I love my fans, all of them, from all over.”

She shouldn’t be apologizing for anything. It is not offensive to travel to a country. On the contrary, it is idiotic to pretend to be offended because someone went to a country. How often have other celebs or politicians traveled to Muslim countries that execute homosexuals? Where is the outrage?

Going somewhere does not align you with them in any way. If I travel to France, I don’t align myself with their policies. If I travel to another state with an opposing football team, that doesn’t mean I align myself with that particular team and am a traitor.

Snowflakes need to mind their own business and not worry about where a person travels in their free time.
