Israeli TikTokers face backlash for mocking Palestinian
While the world is deeply moved by the suffering of Gaza's residents due to Israeli aggression, Israeli TikTokers are mocking their distress.
Tel Aviv: While Gaza residents continue to suffer due to Israeli aggression, Israeli TikTokers are facing criticism for creating videos that make light of the dire situation.
For several days, Gaza has been grappling with a lack of water and electricity as a result of Israeli brutality.
The health system in Gaza has become non-functional, and hospitals are at risk of closure due to fuel shortages.
As the world bears witness to the suffering of Gaza's people, Israeli TikTokers have chosen to exploit their plight for humor, generating videos that ridicule the oppressed citizens.
Several videos created by Israeli TikTokers have gained notoriety on social media platforms, sparking significant controversy and condemnation.
Some of the videos featured Israeli TikTokers dancing and casually wasting water and electricity while simulating Gaza's suffering.
In one particularly distasteful video, an Israeli woman dressed up as a Palestinian woman, using ketchup and makeup to make fun of injured children and women.
This video blatantly denied the reality of Palestinian casualties.
The situation has garnered severe backlash, as the Israeli aggression against Gaza persists, resulting in a death toll of over 7,000 Palestinians.
Al Jazeera reported that Instagram recently blocked the account @eyes.on.palestine, which has over 6 million followers.
Meta, the parent company of Instagram, cited a potential security breach as the reason for suspending the account.
This action followed the dissemination of disturbing content that belittled the Palestinian crisis and the suffering of Gaza's people.
