The Truth Behind Israel's Reaction to All Eyes on Rafah Campaign!
Israel is unhappy with the growing support for Gaza through the 'All Eyes on Rafah' campaign. They reminded people on social media about the October 7 attack by Hamas, which started the ongoing conflict. Israel posted on Thursday, asking, "Where were your eyes on October 7," and vowed to "keep talking" about the event. They promised to keep fighting for the hostages.
The 'All Eyes on Rafah' campaign has gained global traction, with many celebrities showing support for Palestinians and condemning the deadly attack on a Rafah camp that killed 45 people on Sunday. The campaign sparked widespread outrage against the violence, with many criticizing Israel's "harsh" treatment of Palestinians and the use of excessive force in its ground offensive in Gaza. Critics, including South Africa, accused Israel of committing "genocide" and took it to the United Nations' top court in January over the conflict.
Many Bollywood stars, including Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Swara Bhasker, Richa Chadha, and Dia Mirza, shared the viral hashtag to show solidarity with Palestinians. However, some celebrities, like Madhuri Dixit Nene, quickly deleted their posts after facing backlash from the public, some of whom also supported Israel.
After the tragic incident, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "tragic mishap" but told the Israeli parliament that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tried their "best not to harm those uninvolved" in the conflict.
