Palestinian-American model Bella Hadid, via her platform is constantly raising her voice to spread awareness regarding the oppression against Palestinians after the recent attacking that worsened in the occupied region by Israel.
The 24-year-old supermodel has mentioned in her latest Instagram post that she was ‘taking note’ of all her superstar friends and colleagues who were not speaking up against Israel’s violence on Palestinians.
The fashion icon posted a letter “against apartheid” written by Palestinian filmmaker Mona Benyamin, and wrote a comprehensive caption with it, naming Israel an “apartheid state” while also mentioning that she was taking notice of how most celebrities are choosing to remain silent about the issue.
“Finally, the world has started calling the Israeli system by its name. Earlier this year the Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem followed the example set by decades of Palestinian intellectual and legal advocacy work in demonstrating that there is no separation between the Israeli state and its military occupation: the two form a single apartheid system,” she wrote on her Instagram.
“Human Rights Watch, in turn, published a thorough report accusing Israel of ‘crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution,”
“To my friends and colleagues …. I see you not standing up for the oppressed and I’m taking notes,” she concluded.
