Chetan Bhagat tweets about Gaza, faces backlash from tweeples

Twitter hits out at Chetan Bhagat
Bangalore, July 17: What started as a harmless tweet turned out to be a nightmare for writer Chetan Bhagat on Wednesday.

It all began after Bhagat tweeted about the ongoing situation in Gaza and saying, 'what is happening to Gaza isn't fair but sadly that is the only way sometimes terrorist organisations and their supporters learn to behave.

This was followed by two more tweets and that is when people criticised him and said that it was an insensitive remark that he made about the ongoing crisis in Iraq.

Many asked Bhagat to return back to his history books and said that killing of children was not justified. Bhagat soon clarified that all his tweets should be read together.

While many refused to pay heed to his clarification, tweeples made no qualms of hitting out at Bhagat-

However Bhagat did find some supporters who said that Israel was just defending itself against the rocket attacks from Hamas.
