The supermodel protested in the streets to speak out against the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in Gaza and posted clips on her Instagram under the highlight “FREE PALESTINE”. Israeli officials spotted her social media posts discussing the protests and criticized Hadid on their official Twitter page with accompanying screenshots of the model’s Instagram Live. It reads, “When celebrities like @BellaHadid advocate for throwing Jews into the sea, they are advocating for the elimination of the Jewish State, This shouldn’t be an Israeli-Palestinian issue. This should be a human issue. Shame on you.”

This is very lame by the official Israel Twitter account making false claims about Bella Hadid.

this just shows how important it is to use your voice/platform. they’re feeling pressure bc their image is rightfully getting tarnished online. they’re so desperate that they’re stalking a model’s instagram and lying about what she said. https://t.co/7RzUdASt0D
