<p>Supermodel Gigi Hadid is still using her enormous platform to express her support for Palestine in the middle of the war between Israel and Palestine.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-288874″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/theindiaprint.com-in-a-string-of-postings-gigi-hadid-criticizes-israel-for-detaining-children-as-pri.jpg” alt=”theindiaprint.com in a string of postings gigi hadid criticizes israel for detaining children as pri” width=”1059″ height=”797″ title=”In a string of postings, Gigi Hadid criticizes Israel for detaining "children as prisoners of war" 6″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/theindiaprint.com-in-a-string-of-postings-gigi-hadid-criticizes-israel-for-detaining-children-as-pri.jpg 259w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/theindiaprint.com-in-a-string-of-postings-gigi-hadid-criticizes-israel-for-detaining-children-as-pri-150×113.jpg 150w” sizes=”(max-width: 1059px) 100vw, 1059px” /></p>
<p>The supermodel decried Israel in a string of photos on her Instagram account on November 24.</p>
<p>The 28-year-old celebrity, whose father Mohamed Hadid is Palestinian, attacked Israel in remarks on the agreement struck between Hamas and Israel over the return of hostages, according to aceshowbiz.com.</p>
<p>The example discussed Ahmed Manasra, a young Palestinian man with schizophrenia and depressive diagnoses. After stabbing and wounding two Israeli residents in Pisgat Zeev in 2015, Ahmed was taken into custody.</p>
<p>“The only nation in the world that holds children as prisoners of war is Israel. ABDUCTION, RAPE, TORTURE, HUMILIATION. PALESTINIAN MURDER. Year after year after year. Prior to October 7th, 2023,” Gigi said in a since-deleted post.</p>
<p>Additionally, Gigi reposted a piece asserting that “between 500 and 700 Palestinian children are detained annually by Israel authorities.” The youngsters were “beaten,” “strip searched,” “arrested at night,” and “isolated in solitary confinement,” according to the post.</p>
<p>“Israel is the ONLY country in the world that systematically prosecutes minors in military courts and accepts confessions obtained by coercion,” Gigi noted in the slide that followed.</p>
<p>Bella Hadid’s sister continued, telling her nearly 80 million followers, “Israel views any supporter of Palestinian rights as ‘antisemite,’ any Palestinian as a ‘terrorist,’ and any Jew who opposes the actions of the government as’self-hating,’ even ordering them to denounce their Judaism.” So, except from Israel, is everyone dishonest and in error? If it weren’t sinister and terrifying, it would be humorous.</p>
<p>Gigi and Bella are both outspoken advocates for Palestine in light of the current hostilities in the Middle East. Bella even claimed that her family received death threats because they supported Palestine. She posted on Instagram, claiming that her family felt threatened and that she received hundreds of death threats every day. Her phone number was also published. However, I can’t take it anymore. There is no room for fear. Our silence is not an option for the people and children of Palestine, particularly in Gaza. They are courageous; we are not.</p>
<p>Bella said in her statement, “We need to ensure that innocent Palestinian civilians are not the forgotten casualties of this war and that we, wherever we are, keep pressure on our leaders to remember the urgent needs of the people of Gaza.”</p>
<p>“I stand with humanity, knowing that peace and safety belong to all of us,” she said in closing.</p>
