It comes after months rising attacks on Palestinians from the Israeli Defense Force, particularly in the West Bank \u2013 per the UN 227 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers between January and September this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/palestine-western-media-opinion\/\">Read More: Opinion: For Palestinians, Media Discrepancy Is Just One More Battlefront<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In her post, Hadid writes that the \u201cterrorising of innocent people is not in alignment with and does not do any good for the \u2018Free Palestine\u2019 movement,\u201d while making it explicitly clear that her \u201chopes and dreams for Palestinians\u201d do not include \u201cthe harm of a Jewish person\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_241207\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-241207\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignfull -width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-241207 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gigi-Hadid-Israel-Hamas-Post.jpeg\" alt=\"Gigi-Hadid-Israel-Hamas-Post\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-241207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gigi Hadid&#8217;s statement on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

(The supermodel sisters&#8217; father, Mohammed Hadid, was born in Palestine.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gigi Hadid hasn\u2019t allowed comments on her post, but the crux of her message is one of peace. Read it for yourself below:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Gigi Hadid&#8217;s Statement On The Israel-Hamas War<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m \">&#8220;My thoughts are with all those affected by this unjustifiable tragedy and every day that innocent lives are taken by this conflict \u2013 too many of which are children. I have deep empathy and heartbreak for the Palestinian struggle and life under occupation, it\u2019s a responsibility I hold daily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m \">I also feel a responsibility to my Jewish friends to make it clear, as I have before:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m \" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"quotation-style\">While I have hopes and dreams for Palestinians, none of them include the harm of a Jewish person. The terrorising of innocent people is not in alignment with and does not do any good for the \u2018Free Palestine\u2019 movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m \">The idea that it does has fuelled a painful, decades-long cycle of back &amp; 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. If you are hurting as I share my condolences today with my loves ones, both Palestinian and Jewish, I\u2019m sending you my love and strength \u2013 whoever and wherever you are.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31739,"featured_media":41678,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,35],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gigi Hadid Shows Support For &quot;The Palestinian Struggle And Life Under Occupation\u201d<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gigi Hadid has broken her silence on the Israel-Hamas war in the fouth day of conflict in the Middle East.
