ALBAWABA - After going on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast as a guest, American musician, and singer Kid Rock is under fire among users across social media for what he said about the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza.
Robert James Ritchie, who is best known as Kid Rock made several pro-Palestine users and activists angry after saying "You know what? We just want our hostages back... If we don't have them back the clock starts now and in 24 hours... We're gonna start bombing motherfu**ers and fu**ing civilians 40,000 fu**ing times".
Kid Rock: Release Israeli hostages or we kill 40,000 Palestinians
Here's what several users on X (formerly known as Twitter) had to say about the matter:
One user added, "This man is literally advocating for the killing of 40,000 civilians so that Israel can get back 134 hostages, think about that... 134 hostages is equivalent to over 100,000 people in his eyes. Arrest that man".
"I’ve never seen such a garbage human in my life".
"Obvious to anyone with an IQ above 6, Kid Rock is among the lowest forms of life".
"what the actual hell is wrong with these people".
Several users also added that comparing 134 hostages to killing over 40,000 Palestinian civilians is downright an outrageous point of view because "Human life is precious wherever you come from".
