An
Israeli
MMA
fighter
has
taken
credit
for
Ye
aka
Kanye
West’s
name
on
a
military
missile,
bragging
about
it
on
social
media.
Kanye
West
has
become
a
part
of
the
Israel-Hamas
conflict,
with
his
name
having
been
scrawled
onto
a
missile
of
the
Israel
Defense
Forces.
An
MMA
fighter
from
Israel,
Haim
Gozali,
claimed
responsibility
for
the
deed
in
a
post
made
on
X,
formerly
Twitter
on
Sunday
(December
24).
The
post
shows
a
picture
of
missiles,
with
one
prominently
displayed
showing
the
message
“Kanye
West
flying
to
Gaza
Haim
Gozali”
on
it.
“You
don’t
like
us
Jewish.
So
we
don’t
like
you
too
!!!”,
the
caption
from
Gozali’s
post
read.
The
post
was
first
made
from
the
50-year-old’s
backup
account,
as
Gozali
had
gotten
his
main
account
suspended
from
the
social
media
platform
for
a
week
due
to
posting
a
photo
of
bombs
emblazoned
with
the
names
of
Khabib
Nurmagomedov,
Kazmat
Chiamev,
Belal
Muhammed
and
Islam
Makhachev.
The
four
fighters
are
all
Muslim
and
have
vocally
expressed
support
for
the
people
of
Palestine.
Gozali’s
caption
for
that
post
read,
“This
is
from
me
to
the
[rat
emoji.”
Gozali
would
repost
the
Kanye
West
photo
through
his
main
account
after
his
suspension
ended.
Gozali
is
a
fifth-degree
black
belt
jiu-jitsu
practitioner
who
currently
fights
in
Bellator
MMA’s
middleweight
and
light
heavyweight
divisions.
He
has
served
in
the
IDF
previously,
although
there
aren’t
details
on
which
unit
it
was
in.
The
fighter
has
been
consistently
vocal
in
his
support
of
Israel,
which
has
been
waging
war
on
the
Hamas
militant
organization
after
a
terror
attack
on
October
7
which
killed
1200
Israelis
with
240
hostages
being
taken.
In
response,
Israel’s
military
has
operated
daily
air
and
artillery
strikes
in
the
Gaza
region
which
have
reportedly
claimed
over
20,000
lives
according
to
the
Gaza
Health
Ministry.
West,
who
has
had
a
history
of
of
antisemitic
remarks
dating
back
to
last
October
when
he
first
sent
out
the
message
“going
death
con
3
On
Jewish
people”
on
X,
issued
an
apology
in
Hebrew
on
his
Instagram
page.
The
rapper’s
apology
was
picked
up
on
by
Gozali,
who
has
been
reposting
all
news
items
about
the
bomb
dedicated
to
the
rapper
on
his
X
account.
