"Seeing The Pain of the Palestinian People Makes Me Cry" - Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid took to social media to speak about the injustice towards Palestinians and she is heartbroken.
The Victoria Secret model shared, "Watching the news and seeing the pain of the Palestinian people makes me cry for the many many generations of Palestine."
Bella here is referring to Trump’s recent decision to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel. “I have determined that it is time to officially recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,” the US leader said in a speech from the White House. “It’s the right thing to do.”
“I’ve been waiting to put this into perfect words but I realised there is no perfect way to speak of something so unjust,” wrote Hadid. “A very very sad day. Watching the news and seeing the pain of the Palestinian people makes me cry for the many, many generations of Palestine.”
“Seeing the sadness of my father, cousins, and Palestinian family that are feeling for our Palestinian ancestors makes this even harder to write. Jerusalem is home of all religions. For this to happen, I feel, makes us take five steps back, making it harder to live in a world of peace,” she continued. “The treatment of the Palestinian people is unfair, one-sided and should not be tolerated. I stand with Palestine.”
The 21-year-old further added, “There is no hate against anyone. My best friends I call sisters and brothers are Jewish. There are no sides. All religions living side by side. Now it is just one man. It has always been a factor of trying to bring peace. Where is the hope?”
The model’s paternal side is from Palestine.
