When Hamas visits: Viral trend showcases solidarity for Palestinian resistance
A new online phenomenon is making waves across social media, challenging established narratives about the Israeli Occupation and celebrating Palestinian resistance through humor and solidarity.
This movement originated from a failed attempt by a user to criticize Palestinian supporters, leading to an outpouring of humor, solidarity, and defiance among users on X.
The trend was sparked by a post from user Jords, who addressed Irish-Palestinian solidarity, stating, 'Irish people are not 'pretending they're as oppressed as the Palestinians,' you stupid colonial-brained Yanks and Brits… You wouldn't understand this as it involves learning the meaning of solidarity, of which you have none.'

In a provocative response, user Malou remarked, 'Waiting for Hamas to visit you and your family.'

Instead of generating fear, this comment catalyzed a movement that celebrated Palestinian resistance while poking fun at the "Israeli" narratives.
Users humorously quote-tweeted how they would welcome Hamas into their homes. Many users showcased their cultural dishes in anticipation of a visit from Hamas.
