Supporters of Palestine have called to boycott the payment platform Stripe after its CEO and co-founder Patrick Collison - an Irish-American billionaire who has advocated for Palestinians in the past - posted on social media on Wednesday about his run on the beach in Tel Aviv and how it was "great" to be back.

Many responded to his post on X by pointing out that he was only thirty minutes away from the Gaza Strip. Conservative estimates say nearly 44,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's war on Gaza and two million have been under constant Israeli aggression as they fight what UN experts have called "'deliberate starvation".

Some drew comparisons to the Academy Award-winning film, Zone of Interest, which depicts the everyday lives of Germans who lived next to the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War Two.

This behavior literally hurts your cause. If you'd listen for a second to the Maga guys, yes, you'd hear more than enough of them tell you they went full Maga because they were fed up with the political correctness and immediate judgement and execution of the likes of you.

In case you haven't noticed: Maga is in charge now of the US. If you're a US citizen then thank you for screwing all of us over with your stubborn "BUT IM RIGHT" which now will fuck over the entire world.

Just stop being a dick, let people make mistakes, let people have different opinions. This guy is t Hitler, he isn't saying death to Palestine, HE WENT TO A BEACH FFS.
