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.

    You wrote nothing of substance in so many words, so I won’t even bother to reply to all your nonsense lmao.

    You just wrote a hissy fit where you’re just so wrong on so much that I wouldn’t even know where to start. And I value my time too much to waste time with such emptiness

    P.s.

    You make people vote trump

    That might be the most ignorant comment in all that word salad. That’s NOT how reality works haha
