Lars Sullivan is making headlines on social media again after responding to a fan who posted criticism of Israel over the situation in the Gaza Strip.
In a Friday post on X, the fan argued that bombing hospitals and leaving children without food could not be considered self-defense. The message ended with a direct attack on Israel.
Sullivan responded shortly after:
“Move to gaza and convert to islam since you love it so much.”
This is not the first time the former WWE wrestler has waded into public discussions about Islam in recent weeks. In August, Sullivan publicly declared, “It’s ok to be islamophobic.” He also wrote, “If you’re in America, assimilate.”
Sullivan’s latest remarks also bring renewed attention to his history in WWE. In 2019, the company fined him $100,000 and required him to complete sensitivity training after old posts considered offensive toward multiple groups resurfaced online. At the time, Sullivan said:
“They do not reflect my personal beliefs nor who I am today, and I apologize to anyone I offended.”
Sullivan left WWE in January 2021. He had signed with the company in 2013, debuted on NXT in 2017, and later moved to the main roster, where he had a short run before his departure.
