On October 9, 2024, during Israel's war against Hamas, Ramadan posted on X: "There is no such thing as self defence against the people you occupy, it is like an intruder attacking the owner of the house he invaded and claim he is defending himself." His post was in response to another post on X that said: "We too support Israel’s right to self defense."
On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped 251 and wounded thousands. War crimes included various systematic sexual crimes like gang rape and genital mutilation. Men and women were violated, even after being murdered. Victims who survived that day, including hostages, endured forms of humiliation and torture.
Gazans working in the targeted Israeli villages provided intelligence to Hamas on which families to kill and torture, including long-time employers. Many Palestinian civilians joined in and celebrated the attacks. Hamas livestreamed their crimes on social media, including to victims’ accounts for families to see.

On August 5, 2024, Ramadan posted on X: "Your count is so wrong , October 7 alone counts as 7 points against your looser [sic] colonial project that is called isntreal [Israel] 😂😂." His post was in response to a post that said: "Is this a good time to mention that Israel is 6-0 in wars with neighboring countries?"
On April 7, 2024, Ramadan posted on X: "...the resistance are legitimate freedom fighters against [Israeli] occupation..."
Anti-Israel activists use the term “resistance” to refer to violence and terror perpetrated against Israeli civilians and their allies. It is used to glorify and encourage anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence. Anti-Israel activists chant slogans such as: “Resistance by any means necessary!” and “Resistance is justified when people are occupied!” in response to terror attacks.
On December 7, 2023, Ramadan posted on X: "The apartheid state Israel will go down, the whole world can see them now for who they are and they can't hide the truth anymore, the liberation of Palestine has just started ✌️"
On the same date, Ramadan posted on X in Arabic: "The new narrative that the Zionists are pushing accuses Hamas of rape cases against Jewish women on October 7 and torturing Jews, and it’s all lies upon lies, and the Americans are going along with them and supporting them just to justify to the world the crimes they’re committing in Gaza, but the sun can’t be covered with a sieve."
Denial of the Hamas war crimes of October 7, 2023, among anti-Israel activists has been likened to Holocaust denial among neo-Nazis.
