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.
What a sad little person you are that you have to virtue signal everything just to feel loved.
I am trying to have a conversation about how we maybe should stop trying to destroy people because of small mistakes and you want to boycott me.
Thanks for being a perfect example of how small and pathetic you people are
Scratch a liberal lmao
If doing PR work for a fucking genocidal state is just cAnCeL cUltUrE gOnE mAd then you have no fucking red line.
If you’re only against a genocide as long as it doesn’t cost you money or effort, then you’re not against genocide. You’re the one virtue signaling up and down this comment section. This “free speech crusader” shit is old hat and nobody buys it.
Visiting a beach is PR work for genocide?
Do you hear the words that come out of your mouth, or in this case, fingers?
Seriously, read what you just wrote. The guy visited a fucking beach, that’s it!
Serious question: if you could, would you kill this guy? Would you end his life over this? I’m seriously trying to understand how far you’re willing to take this insanity
Again, you are the reason we have to deal with trump now. You and extremists like you caused all this shit. I’d rather deal with a dumb Maga asshole than with the likes of you as magas at least know what they’re pushing. You don’t even see that part.
