After President Lee's Criticism of Israel, Na Kyungwon Says "Cyber Wrecker? International Disgrace"
President Lee in Social Media Dispute with Israel
Na Kyungwon: "Stop Immediately and Apologize"
Na Kyungwon, member of the People Power Party, criticized President Lee Jaemyung’s remarks condemning Israel, stating, “He has brought international embarrassment upon himself not once, but twice.”
On April 11, Na wrote on her Facebook, “It is appalling to see him being hit with fact checks for his false statements and yet, instead of apologizing, he continues to stubbornly insist he is right.”
Previously, on April 10, President Lee had shared a video on X that allegedly showed Israeli forces dropping Palestinian children from beneath a roof, commenting, “There is no difference between the forced mobilization of comfort women that we condemn, the Holocaust of Jews, or other wartime killings.”
In response, when the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly objected, calling his comments “unacceptable and deserving of strong condemnation,” Lee again replied on April 11, “It is disappointing that, even once, Israel cannot reflect on the criticisms from people around the world who suffer due to its continuous anti-humanitarian and anti-international law actions. When I am in pain, others feel pain too, and it is only human to feel sorry if someone suffers because of my needs.”
Regarding President Lee’s actions, Na questioned, “Is he the President of the Republic of Korea, or a peddler of fake news online?” She further asked, “Does he really believe that his habit of stubbornly denying facts, as if ‘a crime can be erased if you just keep denying it,’ will work in the international community?”
“Cyber wrecker” is a term that mocks online content creators who quickly edit and upload videos about trending issues—similar to how a wrecker (tow truck) rushes to the scene of a traffic accident—to boost their views.
