#OneDirection
After One Direction pulled out of their Belfast gig at the last minute due to Liam Payne’s sickness, the band also failed to announce the cancellation to fans. A Sky News reporter tweeted: “I don’t care who was sick in #OneDirection. Rest of them should have had the decency & maturity to appear on stage and explain.” The tweet brought in a sour reaction from fans, one tweeting: “@Eamonn Holmes and maybe you should have the decency and maturity to back off when it’s clear you know nothing like everyone else”. In response, Holmes tweeted: “For all of you who can’t read, I didn’t ask for #OneDirection to sing, I asked for them to apologise in person to fans who turned up.”Later, Payne’s bandmates apologized to their fans on Twitter.
#Holocaust
This hashtag was created after Netanyahu’S comments on the holocaust. The Israeli prime minister claimed the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem convinced Hitler to exterminate the Jews. Steffen Seibert, spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said there was “no reason to change our view of history. All Germans know the history of the murderous race mania of the Nazis that led to the break with civilisation that was the Holocaust,” he said. Many twitter users denounced Netanyahu for saying Palestinian mufti inspired Hitler.
