Palestinian Activists Are Using The Hashtag #HitlerWasRight

    The tragic situation in the Middle East has provoked an extreme reaction on social media.

    The hashtag began to trend yesterday.

    @IRulyawan @drRaniSpP @DJmonicaWB @helvy : #HitlerWasRight #SavePalestine #SavePalestineChildren #GoToHell #IsraHell

    It was a response to the Israeli operations that began on 8 July.

    Does @UN exist? #FuckUN #FuckIsrael #HitlerWasRight

    At least 159 Palestinians have died since Operation Protective Edge began, according to Gaza officials.

    #Obama #USA #Israel #GazaUnderAttack #Palestine #HitlerWasRight

    Israel says that it is targeting Hamas, but the UN has estimated that 77% of the people killed in Gaza have been civilians.

    Salute #Hitler for his thought #HitlerWasRight #GazaUnderAttack #FreePalestine #PrayForGaza

    CNN correspondent Jake Tapper was among a number of social media users who noted that Hitler was no friend of the Arabs.

    vile stuff out there via hashtags #HitlerWasRight & #HitlerDidNothingWrong, many from ppl who don't seem to get what Hitler thought of Arabs

    Hey , #muslims posting #HitlerWasRight pics. You all know he would kill you and your family too? #justsaying

    And a huge number of pro-Palestinians were critical of the hashtag.

    To all the assholes using the #HitlerWasRight hashtag & associating it with Palestinian solidarity, please stop. We don't want your bigotry.

    WTH? #HitlerWasRight? Are you even thinking before saying such things? #PrayForGaza but lets not get carried away

    The UN Security Council called for a ceasefire and peace talks on Saturday.

    The IDF says it has so far struck some 1,320 "terror" sites across Gaza, while Hamas have launched more than 800 rockets at Israel.
