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.
Biden is literally funding the genocide you doofus. How is that not a fascist? I stg you libs are so brainwashed it's like talking to a 90s video game character
Yeah great that Harris lost because of all the genocide stuff. At least now we have a president who will make the world better for everyone, who will make sure all genocides stop and that all dictators disappear behind bars. Yay!
