Model Gigi Hadid pushes blood libel of Palestinian organ-harvesting
In a since-deleted social-media posting, American supermodel Gigi Hadid levelled several false charges against Israel.

Hadid claimed that Israel had engaged in “abduction, rape, humiliation, torture, murder of Palestinians years and years before Oct. 7, 2023.” She also shared a video making the now commonplace, modern blood-libel claim that Israel harvests the organs of dead Palestinians.
Hadid, who has a Palestinian background, said that Israel was “the only country in the world that keeps children as prisoners of war.”
On Monday, Hamas released 11 hostages, eight of whom were children.
Hadid’s example of a Palestinian minor held by Israel as a “prisoner-of-war” was Ahmed Mansara, who was caught on video engaging in a stabbing rampage and sentenced to 12 years in prison, later reduced to nine-and-a-half years. Mansara has repeatedly been in solitary confinement for his violent behavior against himself and others.
Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli responded on her own Instagram that the youth Hadid championed had said, “I came with my cousin to stab Jews.”
Last October, in another since-deleted Instagram post, Hadid’s father, Mohamed compared Israel to Nazi Germany. Hadid’s sister, the fellow model Bella, has called for an ethnic cleansing of Israeli Jews.

Hmmm. Beauty on the outside and the ugliest of the ugly inside, that’s Gigi Hadid. Your remarks are so blatantly untrue, they’re not worth responding to specifically.
Perhaps ask yourself a few questions, Gigi … such as the source of the assertions you make, and where as a Palestinian, does the name ‘Gigi’ come from? etc. etc.
