As revelations continue to emerge about more unspeakable horrors Hamas has inflicted on Israeli civilians, some celebrities are using their social media platforms to express support for Palestinians, stunning many of their fans.
Palestinian struggle
Supermodel Gigi Hadid reaffirmed her "deep empathy for the Palestinian struggle" on Instagram on Tuesday, after days of notable silence surrounding the harrowing terror attacks against Israel that shook the global community this past weekend.
"My thoughts are with all those affected by this unjustifiable tragedy and every day that innocent lives are taken by this conflict - too many of which are children. I have deep empathy and heartbreak for the Palestinian struggle and life under occupation, it's a responsibility I hold daily. I also feel a responsibility to my Jewish friends to make it clear, as I have before: While I have hopes and dreams for Palestinians, none of them include the harm of a Jewish person," she wrote.
"The terrorizing of innocent people is not in alignment with & does not do any good for the 'Free Palestine' movement.' The idea that it does has fueled a painful, decades long cycle of back & forth retaliation (which no innocent civilian, Palestinian or Israeli, deserves to be a casualty of) and helps perpetuate the false idea that being Pro-Palestine = antisemitic," the model continued.
"If you are hurting as I share my condolences today with my loves ones, both Palestinian and Jewish, I'm sending you my love and strength - whoever and wherever you are. There are a lot of complex, personal and valid feelings, but every human deserves basic rights, treatment and security; no matter their nationality, religion, ethnicity or where they were born. I know my words will never be enough or heal the deep wounds of so many, but I pray for the safety of innocent lives, always."
