In the next slide, Hadid didn't hold back her outrage against Israel and further criticized the language purported by Israeli leaders against Palestinians and pro-Palestine supporters.

"Israel sees any Palestinian as a 'terrorist,'" Hadid wrote. "Any person supporting Palestinian rights as an 'antisemite,' and any Jew that is opposed to the government's actions as 'self-hating' — even telling them to denounce their Judaism."

"So... everyone's lying and wrong, except Israel?" the model added. "If it wasn't so evil & disturbing, it would be comedic."

Days after the Hamas attack, the Jewish state denounced Hadid after she shared a pro-Palestine meme which read, "There is nothing Jewish about the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians. Condemning the Israeli government is not antisemitic and supporting Palestinians is not supporting Hamas."

Israel responded by making a similar post and tagged Hadid in the message.

"There is nothing valiant about Hamas' massacre of Israelis," the post read. "Condemning Hamas for what it is (ISIS) is not anti-Palestine and supporting Israelis in their fight against barbaric terrorists is the right thing to do."
