On Wednesday (1st November), lyricist Javed Akhtar went on an unhinged rant against the Jewish State of Israel over its retaliation against the Gaza-based Hamas terror group.
In a tweet (archive), he claimed, “So now Israel is justifying its indiscriminate round the clock bombing on helpless civilians of Gaza by giving example of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”
“And the so-called civilised world is listening. They are the same people who teach us human rights,” Javed Akhtar brazened out.

Social media users were quick to lambast the lyricist over his biased take on the Israel-Hamas war. “Where was Mr. Javed akhtar on 7th October? He didn’t tweet on #HamasTerrorrists . Why they skip what happened on 7th?” tweeted one Amit Jha.

“You liars are like weeds popping up everywhere. There is not “indiscriminate round-the-clock bombing”. ISRAEL provided advanced notice and Hamas uses human shields and does not allow human shields to heed Israeli warnings,” one user debunked the claims of the Bollywood lyricist.

Why do Javed ignores atrocities on minorities in Islamic couny?
OpIndia did not find any tweet by Javed Akhtar condemning Hamas and its attack on Israel, which claimed the lives of 1400 people.
On October 7, over 2,500 Hamas terrorists invaded Israel by land, air, and sea, killing 1,400 people, the vast majority of whom were civilians, and kidnapping 230 people, including 30 children. The smallest is nine months old. Entire families were massacred in their homes, and over 260 people were slaughtered at an outdoor music festival.
The terrorists raped the Israeli women and also didn’t spare the elders and the children. The videos of these horrific incidents were also made viral. The attack on Israel by the Hamas terrorists marks the most brutal attack against Jews after the Holocaust.
