Threats against Maduro, weapons for Netanyahu; X users react to U.S. move against Venezuelan President

Pars Today – The U.S. move to increase the reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has drawn reactions from users on the social media platform X.

The United States has set a $50 million reward for information that would lead to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, President of Venezuela. Previously, the U.S. State Department had offered a $25 million reward for any information related to Maduro.

This new U.S. measure against Maduro has prompted reactions from X users, which Pars Today reviews in this report.

Maduro is not alone
A user on the social media platform X named Son Polemicas expressed solidarity with Nicolás Maduro.
He wrote: “Nicolás Maduro is one of the most respected and influential free leaders in the world. Maduro is not alone.”

Support for a terrorist
Lilliana Corredor, an activist on X, pointed to the U.S. double standard in increasing the reward for Maduro’s arrest while removing the $10 million bounty on al-Jolani.
She wrote: “The U.S. wants to overthrow Nicolás Maduro, the democratically elected president of Venezuela, and now has set a $50 million bounty on his head. Yet it removed the $10 million bounty for the terrorist al-Jolani!”

Pathetic
An X user with the handle hard winter described the U.S. increase of the reward for Maduro’s arrest as pathetic.
He wrote: “The U.S. increase of the reward for Maduro’s arrest is absurd and pathetic.”

Hypocrisy
Dipak Kumar Singh, a user on X, called this U.S. action hypocrisy.
He wrote: “The U.S. has set a $50 million bounty on Maduro’s head—the same U.S. that strongly criticizes foreign intervention, from Iraq to Libya and now Venezuela. Changing governments is America’s pastime, and this shows the height of its hypocrisy.”

Encouraging genocide
An X user with the handle Art Crunchy compared the U.S. Senate’s applause for Netanyahu with the increase in the reward for Maduro’s arrest.
He wrote: “The U.S. has set a $50 million bounty on Maduro’s head; meanwhile, they invite Netanyahu—a wanted war criminal who is currently committing genocide and has so far killed half a million Palestinians—to their Senate to be met with enthusiastic applause.”

Hostility toward the Zionist regime
Ahmad Alyehri, a social activist on X, considered the reason for this U.S. move to be Maduro’s open hostility toward Israel.
He wrote: “Nicolás is openly hostile toward Israel. The U.S. treats Latin American countries as its backyard and will not allow them to get close to its rivals, namely Russia and China.”

Handcuffs for Maduro, bombs for Netanyahu
Dina H, a user on X, criticized this U.S. action and wrote: “Handcuffs for Maduro, bombs for Netanyahu. Laws for you, genocide for me.”
