Supermodel Bella Hadid, a vocal advocate of the rights of Palestinians, has claimed she was “shadow banned” by Instagram for posting about Palestine after Israeli authorities attacked worshippers at al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday.
“If you really would like to silence me , just like the journalists, or really anyone trying to educate about Palestine, @instagram, I will continue to come forward with peace , showing factual information about how the IDF, Israeli government, and Settlers attack innocent Palestinians for no reason , except for simply being Palestinian. This is all a breach of human rights, and if you continue to sensor us, is the biggest form of bias and Unjust censorship.”
(@bellahadid)“But I will not continue to sit here and have my peoples name be slandered as if they are constantly doing something wrong to deserve this kind of abuse. Absolutely UNPROVOKED abuse. In their home , and on their land, that they have lived in for hundreds of years. Especially now, during the holy month of Ramadan. This is unprovoked,” added Bella.
Last year in May, Bella Hadid joined a protest in New York in solidarity with Palestinian people against Israeli violence.
“It feels whole! We are a rare breed,” she added. “It’s free Palestine till Palestine is free!”
Bella is an ardent advocate of women’s rights as well. In February, she had called out India for the discrimination faced by Muslim women for wearing hijab.
