UK-based Indian alleged 'content creator' Harman Singh Kapoor has faced intense public condemnation across social media platforms after publishing a video explicitly calling on 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the 'Israeli' military to strike a building in the Gaza Strip.
In the 30-second video clip published to his account on X, Kapoor questioned mockingly why a featured building in Gaza was still standing.
He intentionally included mentions to the official accounts of Netanyahu and the 'Israeli' armed forces, triggering thousands of critical comments and denunciations from users online.
Activists condemn call to violence
The post drew swift backlash, with activists and commentators accusing the influencer of promoting violence and inciting the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza.
Critical respondents questioned Kapoor's motives, with several users pointing out that he appeared to be exploiting civilian suffering and geopolitical conflict for online engagement and attention following recent employment changes.
Others condemned his rhetoric as a moral collapse, calling out the mockery of potential loss of life.
Users also confronted Kapoor directly in the comments, asking how he would feel if his own family faced similar circumstances, emphasizing that civilians in Gaza had done nothing to warrant calls for their destruction.
Pattern of provocative messaging
Kapoor, who owns the "Rangrez Restaurant" in Hammersmith, West London, has previously been at the center of local protests and online debates.
Controversy surrounding his business intensified after he posted signs over the storefront reading, "proudly we don't sell halal."
The signage prompted protests outside the establishment, with some local Muslim youth filming and confronting the owner outside the venue.
Kapoor's reactions to these confrontations were frequently recorded and circulated widely across social media networks.
Kapoor is an alleged social media influencer who has repeatedly drawn scrutiny for sharing hostile content targeted at Muslim and Pakistani communities.
