Say stupid shit get bit.

Bella has said some insane shit that seems to get echoed here quite often.

Anti semitism is when a Zionist doesn’t like you.

In this case it was sharing Hamas propaganda that was not true. It would be easier to sympathize with you infantada if you’d actually take 5 minutes to look into what Hamas’ aims actually are and the means they use to carry them out.

Substantiate your extraordinary claim that Hadid was sharing Hamas propaganda or stfu.

    they fucked up because she’s the same ethnic group as terrorists from an event before she was born?

    “Selling shoes while Palestinian” is the new “driving while black” it seems.

    So like, the ad didn’t even say anything about the genocide in Palestine? It just starred a half-Palestinian model?

    I’m not on Israel’s side in the current conflict, but if you’re going to reference the 1972 Olympics and the killings use a model that isn’t from a country that’s part of the conflict.

    …but honestly what the hell are you doing referencing a terrorist attack to sell shoes?

    The only reference made is that something called Olympics took place in 1972. It’s ridiculous as she wasn’t even born

    Right but what happened in the 1972 Olympics? If you release a 1972 Olympic sneaker, you have to think about how you contextualize the release.

    Mind you, the complaint from Israel is not that Adidas is engaging in the revival effort/advertising campaign. Their specific complaint was that Adidas picked Bella Hadid as the face of it.

    Bella Hadid, who has not publicly said anything negative about Israel. Whose only “offenses” are that she’s half Palestinian, and that she’s shared messages on social media that condemn all murder, (which explicitly includes condemning the murder of Israelis in that statement).
    Sure, she supports the right to a homeland by Palestinians, but that’s not explicitly a dig at Israel. It seems like she’s taken great pains to not condemn an eminently condemnable country that has personally wronged her family, and now, her personally.

    It seems like Israel is throwing their weight around to harm her career and erase the achievements of yet another Palestinian. Much harm to her, for no harm mitigation to themselves.

    There will always be context in anything you do, but unless she ever made an apology of this attack, the official Israeli tweet is just racism. Mind you I am not surprised from an apartheid state, but yeah it sucks that Adidas didn’t reply along the lines that they do sport, not politics.

    MyEdgyAlt OP ,

    Hey now if that was the reason that would mean the Israelis are racist, but they’re the most moral country in the world. So surely it couldn’t that! </s>

    Can we see the original ad? Is it photo or video?

    A half Palestinian wearing a shoe is the entirety of the alleged offense

    ShaggySnacks ,

    Someone probably should tell Israel that Adidas made shoes and anti-tank weaponsey for the Nazis. Don’t forget that the founder was a Nazi party member.

    Both Dassler brothers joined the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in May 1933 and became members of the National Socialist Motor Corps. Adolf took the rank of Sportwart in the Hitler Youth from 1935 until the end of the war. During the war, the company was running the last sport shoe factory in Germany and predominantly supplied the Wehrmacht with shoes. In 1943, their shoe production was forced to cease operations and the company’s facilities and workforce was used to manufacture anti-tank weapons. From 1942 to 1945, at least nine forced labourers were working at both sites of the company.

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adidas

    To be fair, Adidas did give a pair of shoes to Jesse Owens during the 1936 Olympics. Adidas may not be full on Nazis however they were willing to work with the Nazis to make money.

    So I guess in Israel’s mind: Donating money to Palestinians to help with relief during the war is bad while working with the Nazis is fine.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    It accused her of hostility to Israel and noted that 11 Israeli athletes had been killed by Palestinian attackers at the Munich Games.Adidas subsequently apologised and said it would “revise” its campaign.Ms Hadid has been a vocal supporter of the Palestinians and earlier this year donated money to support relief efforts for the war in Gaza.BBC News has contacted Hadid’s representatives for comment.

    The German sportswear company had chosen Hadid to promote its SL72 trainers, which were first launched to coincide with the 1972 Olympics.Adidas recently relaunched the SL72 shoes as part of a series reviving classic trainers.However images of the American model wearing the shoes prompted criticism, including on Israel’s official account on X (formerly Twitter).

    Bella Hadid, a half-Palestinian model," a post read on Thursday.It referred to the attack at the 1972 games, which happened when members of the Palestinian Black September group broke into the Olympic village.

    In addition to the Israeli athletes, a German police officer was also killed.Other social media users defended Ms Hadid and called for a boycott of Adidas following the move to pull the campaign.Adidas confirmed to AFP that Hadid had been removed from the campaign.In a statement provided to the news agency, the company said it would be “revising the remainder of the campaign” with immediate effect.

    "We are conscious that connections have been made to tragic historical events – though these are completely unintentional – and we apologise for any upset or distress caused.

    "Hadid, whose father is Palestinian property tycoon Mohamed Anwar Hadid, has been vocal in her support for people affected by the war in Gaza.In an Instagram post in May, Hadid said she was “devastated at the loss of the Palestinian people and the lack of empathy coming from the government systems worldwide”.Last month, she and her supermodel sister Gigi donated $1m (£785,000) to support Palestinian relief efforts.The conflict in Gaza began when Hamas gunmen launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking 252 back to Gaza as hostages.Israel responded by launching a military campaign in Gaza with the aims of destroying Hamas and freeing the hostages.More than 38,900 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.
