Bella Hadid steps out wearing “Free Palestine” top in NYC
New York City (QNN)- The Palestinian-American supermodel Bella Hadid stepped out in New York on Wednesday while wearing a white tank top with “Free Palestine” across the top in an orange circle for her outing.
This is not the first time Hadid expresses her love for Palestine as she regularly celebrates her Palestinian heritage with her followers on Instagram and often uses the platform to shed light on Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land.
In January, the US news channel Fox News accused Hadid, who works with high-end fashion brands, of spreading a “subtle political message” that is hidden in her jewellery.
This came after the model decided to step out wearing a Chvker Jewelry necklace bearing the text “Palestine,” custom made by the brand’s designer Nazlia Yunus and paired with a nameplate “Isabella” chain.
She was spotted in West Hollywood with her brother Anwar and some friends for media artist Alana O’Herlihy’s birthday celebrations at The Nice Guy restaurant.
When she is not using her platform to raise awareness about pressing humanitarian issues in Palestine, the 25-year-old can be found rolling grape leaves and stuffing whole vegetables to make dolma with her father, Mohamed Hadid, a Palestinian real estate developer, and older sisters on Instagram Stories.
On Wednesday, she also posted several stories on her Instagram page about Al Jazeera’s reporter Shereen Abu Aqleh, a Palestinian-American journalist, who was shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces while she was covering an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin earlier on Wednesday.
On Friday, she further posted an Instagram story of Israeli forces brutally beat and assaulting a crowd of Palestinian mourners carrying the casket of Abu Aqleh ahead of her funeral in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem.
Bella is slammed everytime she expresses support and solidarity to the Palestinians, the latest was last May when she was among the thousands of demonstrators who gathered in New York City in a pro-Palestinian march in solidarity with Palestine when Gaza Strip was under Israeli attacks.
