Many netizens (most of his fans) said “It’s not funny at all to crack joke on someone’s’ suffering”.

The least you could do is apologise and not whatever this half-assed tweet is. Also how is this funny at all in your head, care to share with the class? 🎤 also to others here if you are not directly affected by the war, it is not up to you to “accept” this “apology”

I wished u apologised instead of making a joke out of another joke, because he right now is under cover, with his parents and an elderly grandma, trying to survive this war. So please, words can hurt sometimes, more than action.
