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.
Did you read anything at all?
Caught up with what times? The times where we publicly nail people to a cross just because he committed the horror of wrong think? This guy disagrees with the group, kill him!
Maybe we should go to public executions while we're at it? You find that ridiculous, people thought the idea of a trump presidency was weird too
I'm literally saying that we don't try to crucify people over tiny issues and you respond with "get with the time, man!" Well I don't like this time.
Your behavior, again, is what made assholes liek trump possible in the first place. You and people like you put center people to the right and far right because you just don't even know how to talk or reason anymore. You people destroy lives and then claim to be the good ones, then wonder why so many people voted for trump
