Andrew Tate Sparks Controversy with Comment Idolizing Sinwar's Death

[Social Media]

 

Andrew Tate, the highly controversial social media influencer, has once again stirred up a storm with his recent comments on X (formerly known as Twitter). On Saturday, Tate posted that he was praying for a death as "heroic" as that of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. In his post, Tate wrote, "I can only pray for a death as heroic as Yahya Sinwar. Brave, defiant in the face of evil and dedicated to his life’s purpose. He deserves eternal rest. He earnt it."

 

 

Sinwar, who orchestrated Hamas' brutal attacks on October 7, leading to the massacre of over 1,200 people and kidnapping of hundreds more, was killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Wednesday. His leadership in Hamas, a group widely designated as a terrorist organization by numerous countries, including the United States and European Union, had made him a central figure in the group's violent actions.

 

Tate’s comments have sparked widespread outrage, given Sinwar’s role in orchestrating such deadly attacks. Praising the death of someone involved in mass violence has drawn sharp criticism, with many condemning Tate’s remarks as irresponsible and inflammatory.

 

Tate, a former kickboxer turned internet personality, has been known for his provocative statements, often finding himself at the center of controversy. He is currently  placed under house arrest by a Romanian judge, as prosecutors investigate new and serious allegations, including sex with a minor and trafficking underage persons.

 

However, this latest comment has reignited debates about the line between free speech and promoting harmful ideologies.

The world will be a better place without this <deleted> gobbing off.  I'm sure he'll really enjoy the Romanian prison system.  Long may he rot in it.

Another classic example of posting anything to desperately stay relevant and get some clicks. Long may he rot in prison! People like him need to be taken in the back and s...!

Apologies @metisdead - your edit makes it look better...

Perhaps some big hairy guy in the penitentiary will grant Mr Tate his wish as he (heroically resist his advances)……..

Let's hope his wish gets granted soon.

It's not surprising Tate would regard Sinwar as a hero.  He's been posting antisemitic stuff about Jewish conspiracies for awhile now.  Tate has painted himself into the stupidest corner of antisemitism- Holocust denial.  Like the infamous Nate Cooper, Tate doesn't think the Nazis were such bad guys and may not have been responsible for WW Two.  He considers the Holocaust to have been a hoax by the Jews to justify the creation of Israel.

 

The worst thing is Tate has a lot of influence on teenage and pre-teen boys.  They think it's cool to treat girls the way they imagine he does.  It would be tragic if these boys find their way to antisemitism through Tate.
