The tweet prompted responses from right-wing social media troll accounts, criticizing the singer for his statement. One popular right-wing user, known as 'The Skin Doctor,' who is also followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, even replied with flight details and suggested routes for Ali to reach Gaza.
There is an Egypt Air flight tommorow 11.20 am from Delhi to Cairo.

From Cairo there are buses and taxis that take 5-6 hours and go directly to the Rafah crossing border. At Rafah crossing, Egyptian police will enquire about the purpose of visit, check your possessions and…
Several users attacked Lucky Ali for his views, with some expressing relief that they had chosen other artists over him. Others questioned whether he expected financial contributions for his trip and encouraged him to proceed.
Are you expecting contributions??

Frankly, we also want you all to go there. Please do the honors ASAP!
The backdrop of Lucky Ali's tweet is the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, marked by heightened violence. The situation has garnered international attention and condemnation, with discussions on social media reflecting diverse opinions on the matter.
The right-wing social media ecosystem in India has notably been vocal in support of Israel, often expressing views that align with the Israeli government's actions oppressing the Palestinians.
