Pakistani celebrities are expressing solidarity with the people of Palestine. They are actively engaging in discussions on social media concerning the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. This has led to intense exchanges, with Osman Khalid Butt offering a strong response to a user who shared a graphic account of alleged Hamas atrocities, despite many of these claims having been debunked.
In response to the user’s assertion that “A pregnant woman in Southern Israel was found by Hamas terrorists…” Osman Khalid Butt challenged the lack of evidence supporting the claim. He emphasized that readers had provided context that contradicted the user’s statement and criticized the individual for spreading “outrageous, damaging, and unequivocally false” information. He even expressed his disdain for such behavior, saying, “There is a special place in hell reserved for people like you, Aditya.”
