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.”
