Underbelly star Firass Dirani slams Australians backing Israel claiming they are ‘supporting apartheid’ – and suggests Hamas is not a terrorist group

Underbelly star Firass Dirani has slammed Australians backing Israel, claiming they are ‘supporting apartheid’. 

The Australian actor shared a video on social media expressing his support for Hamas after the Palestinian militant group unleashed a horrific attack on the Jewish homeland on Saturday.

Dirani complained that Hamas – which is considered a terrorist group by Australia – is being ‘propagated against as if they’re a terrorist militant group’.

The clip sparked outrage with viewers slamming Dirani for blocking followers who challenged his stance and labelling his comments as ‘demonic’.

‘Seeing some people posting about in support of the Israeli flag and in a way that Hamas has been propagated against as if they’re a terrorist militant group,’ Dirani, who has 63,000 followers, said.

‘Not too long ago the Ukrainian people were armed and were fighting against Russia, and they were called heroes and people that were resisting, resisting the oppressors, and now when the Palestinians resist the oppressors, that has been going on for 75 years, they’re labelled something else.’

More to come.
