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.”
