Shahid Afridi met a Zionist group. They posted Afridi’s photo. This caused a big outrage. People reacted strongly on social media. Afridi then explained what happened. He thought they were normal fans.
Afridi took to X, formerly known as Twitter. He explained his side of the story. He was walking down a street in the UK.
Some people asked for a photo. He agreed. They then posted the photo online. They claimed he supported their cause. Afridi said this was not true.
Shahid Afridi felt shocked by the incident, and warned people not to believe everything online. He said he did not support any side. He values all human lives. This incident confused many of his fans. Some defended him.
They said he did not know about the group. Others criticized him. His fans said he should have been more careful and noted the group’s pamphlets. The fans also added that he should have noticed those pamphlets.
NWFOI, the group involved, is based in north-western UK. They advocate for Israel. They called Afridi a supporter.
But Afridi denied this claim. He said he supports no political cause. He stressed he cares about all human lives.
The zionist group took advantage of Afridi’s kindness. The baby-killer Israeli group used his fame for their cause.
Another Tweet from Zionist Group
In another tweet, they insisted that Afridi approached them and agreed to take a selfie, with leaflets about hostages in front of his face.
That group claimed Afridi supported their protest and called for the release of Israeli hostages. They posted a message online. They thanked Afridi for his support.
Since the genocide started due to Hamas’s October 7 assumed attack, Israeli forces have killed over 37,266 people in Gaza, mostly civilians. Earlier this month, Israeli forces rescued four hostages held by Hamas since October in a raid in Gaza that killed more than 200 Palestinians, one of the deadliest Israeli assaults, according to Reuters.
