Gigi Hadid faces social media backlash

Pro-Israeli users on X were enraged by the video Hadid chose to share. Many have demanded that Gigi along with her sister Bella should be “cancelled.” Both the sisters have often voiced their opinion and shared pro-Palestine posts in the past. 

An X user wrote, calling out her agency, “@IMG, @IMGmodels do you support these antisemitic statements of Gigi Hadad? If not please stop working with her.”

Another user said, “This is the curse of being physically attractive. You are never told no and you eventually begin to believe your own insanity.”

Yet another wrote, “Gigi Hadid has always been trash but this is straight up vile antisemitic blood libel. She should be dropped by every contract and agency."

Hadid made the explosive comment on November 25 on her Instagram story. She wrote, "Israel sees any Palestinian as a ‘terrorist,’ Any person supporting Palestinian rights as an ‘antisemite,’ and any Jew that is opposed to the government's actions as ‘self-hating,’ - even telling them to denounce their Judaism. So... everyone's lying and wrong, except Israel?!! If it wasn't so evil & disturbing, it would be comedic.”
