On Saturday, Gilon shared a screenshot of a comment that he received on Twitter. The message in the tweet read, “Hitler was great when he burned down scums like you. Immediately and f**k off from India. Hitler was a great person.”
Just wanted to share one of a few DMs I got in this direction.
According to his profile, the guy has a PhD🤔.
Even though he doesn’t deserve my protection, I decided to delete his identifying information. pic.twitter.com/cshJvnvVOF— Naor Gilon (@NaorGilon) December 3, 2022
He wrote, “Just wanted to share one of a few DMs I got in this direction. According to his profile, the guy has a PhD. Even though he doesn’t deserve my protection, I decided to delete his identifying information.”
Soon after posting the message, he received massive support from the Indians. In another tweet, he thanked everyone for their support.
Notably, Nadav’s criticism of ‘The Kashmir Files’ has restarted a debate about the film based around the “atrocities” committed against Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir valley during the early ’90s.
Naor Gilon, Ambassador of Israel to India, in response to Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid calling ‘The Kashmir Files’ a propaganda, vulgar film, had said that “It is insensitive and presumptuous to speak about historical events before deeply studying them.”
