Pakistani Senator Afnan Ullah Khan has caused outrage on X after posting an image of Adolf Hitler with the caption “At least now the world know [sic], why he did, what he did #Gaza_Genicide”
The post has been condemned by several users, including some displaying a Palestinian flag.

The post is just one of many that have caused outrage. In another one, Khan wrote in response to a post by US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy: “You are a poor excuse for a human being. Your roots make you an exemplary sycophant but doesn’t [sic] matter what you do and how hard you do flattery, you are not going to become the US president. For Israelis, you are still a lowlife disposable Goyim #Gaza #Gaza_Genocide #Gazabombing.”
