BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate, a divisive figure in social media, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a cryptic message. His tweet sparked speculation among internet users, who interpreted it as a potential effort to justify the actions of Hamas in the ongoing conflict with Israel.
It's worth noting that this is not the first instance in which Tate has faced criticism for his views on X. His comments on various issues have consistently raised eyebrows within the online community, fueling controversy and debate.
Internet fumes over Andrew Tate's support of Hamas
Tate's recent X post triggered a substantial backlash from users and even his own followers. Against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas conflict, a topic of intense global concern, various voices, including those of celebrities and influencers, have primarily emphasized the tragic toll on civilians, especially women and children.
However, Tate's recent tweet left internet users shocked, as they perceived it as an attempt to justify the tragic deaths of children caused by Hamas.
In his tweet, Tate posed the question: "Have the millions of American bombs dropped on unsuspecting randoms across the last 30 years ever decapitated anybody?"
Addressing this, one user stated he is being 'indifferent' to Israelis and wrote, "You can’t discern inadvertent collateral vs explicitly targeting innocents? Your indifference towards Israelis / Jews is telling."
Another user wrote, "Mr. Tate should get on a boat, sail down to Gaza and support them, instead of keyboard warriors it up in a lavish house. Talk is cheap, LittleSnakeTate." A user stated, "Hypocrisy on it's peak."

In a now-deleted recent tweet, Tate conveyed his support for Palestine. He said his collaboration with his organization, Tate Pledge, along with other charitable organizations, will provide financial assistance totaling $200,000 to the Palestinian cause.
In the same tweet, Tate mentioned having on-the-ground videos from Palestine, although he regretfully indicated that he couldn't share them with his followers.
