Rihanna Tweets & Deletes #FreePalestine

 Rihanna deleted her #FreePalestine tweet 8 minutes after she posted it because she says it was never meant to be sent out in the first place.


According to TMZ, "Rihanna deleted it because it was never meant to be tweeted," adding, "She didn't even realize it was a tweet until she started hearing from her fans."

The source says Rihanna was reading about the Middle East conflict online when she clicked a link.  The next thing she knew ... her fans were asking her why she was pro-Palestine.

The explanation is obviously curious.  In order to tweet, someone would either have to type the message or cut and paste it, and then click the "Tweet" button.

The sources says Rihanna is not pro-Palestine or pro-Israel ... "she is pro-peace," saying, "She doesn't want innocent people dying."
