She added:

"So... everyone's lying and wrong, except Israel?!! It is wasn't so evil and disturbing, it would be comedic."

Earlier in October, Gigi Hadid had taken to Instagram to post a statement on the ongoing crisis, saying:

"The terrorizing of innocent people is not in alignment with & does not do any good for the "Free Palestine" moment. The idea that is 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."

She added:

"If you are hurting, I share my condolences today with my loved ones, both Palestinian and Jewish, I'm sending you my love & strength - whoever and wherever you are."

In a Washington Post Profile, Hadid's father talks about how him and his family were reportedly forced to flee from Palestine in 1947 and 1949 and were expelled into the Syrian refugee camps.
