Verify the passport of my father: Israeli Minister’s claim that there are no Palestinians gets criticized by Bella Hadid
Over 400 people have died as a result of Israel’s siege of the al-Shifa hospital, including patients, people who were displaced by the conflict, and medical personnel, according to a report as it enters its twelfth day. Nearly 32,000 Palestinians have killed and over 74,000 had been injured as of March 19.
Even as the world’s outcry over Israel’s aggression against Palestine becomes louder, a number of well-known figures are still using their fan bases to further the cause. Supermodel Bella Hadid, who is American-Palestinian, has rejoined the chorus of those who oppose Israel’s cruel apartheid state.
The model reposted a video of Israeli Minister Orit Strook discussing the rising tensions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip on her Instagram Story on Saturday. The inflammatory statements made by Strook in the initially Hebrew-language film are translated as follows: “The Palestinian people do not exist.” Such a thing does not exist.
In reaction to the Israeli minister’s assertion, Bella wrote a scathing message in the overlaying text on her Instagram Story. She made a forceful suggestion, saying, “Check my father’s passport and the millions of people executed with Palestinian heritage in their blood and hearts.”
She said, “The land that has been taken [away] from the Palestinian people generation after generation, the lives that have been stolen, and the families that have been destroyed.” by individuals who one day declared it to be theirs and theirs alone. Bella concluded by saying, “Food for thought.”
She shared a video on Instagram in another story, showing scores of Syrian civilians who were allegedly killed by Israeli airstrikes, according to the Syrian military. “Massacres never cease. Destruction following destruction. the face of a single entity,” the style symbol objected in a different overlay message.
Bella broke her quiet a few weeks later with a lengthy statement, following Israel devastating military operation against Palestinians in response to Hamas’ surprise strike in southern Israel on October 7 of last year. The celebrity took to Instagram to share a TikTok montage video demonstrating the increasing destruction in Gaza and the West Bank, along with her position on the issue.
The model said, “I apologize for not speaking sooner. These last two weeks have been incredibly complex and awful, and they have brought attention back to a subject that has been claiming innocent lives and impacting families for decades. I will make it brief today as I have a lot to say.
Bella also verified recent claims that she and her family received “daily” death threats when their phone numbers were released because of their criticism of Israel and half-Palestinian origin. Bella’s father, Mohamed Hadid, was reportedly thinking of working with the FBI to find the people who were making the threats, according to family-friendly sources. Celebrity half-Palestinian, who shared how these occurrences made her family fear for their safety, said that she “cannot be silenced any longer” and that “fear is not an option.”
