ALBAWABA - Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg was heavily slammed after posting his photos on Facebook while enjoying a McDonald's meal in Japan.

Pro-Palestinian activists and human rights advocates rebuked the American billionaire after his photos from inside McDonald's Japan, considering that the American multinational fast food chain is facing a tough boycott campaign following support to Israel.

Mark Zuckerberg posted three pictures from McDonald's Japan and captioned them: "Japanese McDonald's: 10/10. Give these guys a Michelin star."

Despite the heavy backlash that Zuckerberg got from pro-Palestinians, some praised the Japanese McDonald's saying that it is very unique compared to other branches worldwide. 

A person commented: "The McDonalds menu in Japan exemplifies the brand's cultural versatility. From introducing unique items like the Mega Muffin to cultural-inspired classics such as the Samurai Mac, McDonald's in Japan is truly different!"

Another jokingly said: "Let’s see the view from the Meta Glasses." 

Meanwhile, a Facebook user added: "I agree, McDonald's Japan offers a unique and delicious experience that goes beyond what you might expect from the fast-food chain. Their seasonal menus, creative burger options, and commitment to fresh ingredients have garnered them a loyal following in Japan and around the world."

On the other hand, many accused Zuckerberg of promoting McDonald's after the boycott campaign following the Israeli aggressive war in Gaza, during which 29,878 have been killed. McDonald's profits were negatively affected by the war in Gaza. 

A person commented on the American billionaire's photos: "Mark is a war criminal."

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said in early February: "So long as this conflict, this war, is going on … we’re not expecting to see any significant improvement in this"
