Harry Styles has so far managed to walk a fine line politically.

But the British pop star crossed that line tonight in Amsterdam at one of his shows.

When a fan yelled, “Viva, viva Palestina!” Styles responded, “Correct!”

This puts a new spin on Styles, who’s taking a stand here against Israel. How will his Jewish fans feel? Or the people who helped make him a star?

There’s going to be a lot of back pedaling tomorrow morning, especially since Harry is counting on his 30 shows at Madison Square Garden this fall to wild successes. “Viva Viva Palestina” is not the rallying cry here, no matter what anyone thinks.

Stay tuned…
