Supermodel Bella Hadid (27) was engaged by Adidas to create an advertising campaign for the relaunch of a type of retro shoe that was first made for the Olympics in Munich in 1972. According to the BBC, the decision came after several people reacted to photos of Hadid wearing the shoes. Israel was among those who reacted. On the state’s official account on X, they commented on the Adidas campaign on Thursday. There they point out that eleven Israelis were killed by Palestinian terrorists in the Munich Olympics, and claim that Hadid is anti-Semitic who incites violence against Jews. This post was shared by Israel on X on July 18. Photo: Screenshot / X Adidas confirms to AFP that Hadid has been removed from the campaign. Bella Hadid, daughter of Dutch ex-model Yolanda Hadid and American-Palestinian real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid, has shown her support for Palestine openly on social media. Hadid herself has also received support on social media from people who believe Adidas should be boycotted for pulling the campaign. Published 20.07.2024, at 21.31 Updated 20.07.2024, at 21.36
