Tensions flared on Twitter as UFC icon Conor McGregor and actor Liam Cunningham exchanged sharp words over the recent Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. Cunningham condemned the attack, tweeting, “The Freedom flotilla was attacked during the night… This is more reprehensible behaviour from the genocidal regime in Tel Aviv,” drawing widespread attention.
McGregor responded mockingly:
“I thought you were on this boat Liamo, what happened? You forgot your goggles? You get sea sick off the gargle? Bottler.”
Cunningham hit back with a scathing comeback:
“Didn’t know you could read and write Conor. Thought you used your hands to tap out.”
Shortly after, McGregor deleted his tweet—though screenshots quickly circulated, fueling the fire.
The exchange ignited a fierce debate online, blending celebrity influence with political discourse.
