American-based Palestinian-Dutch supermodel Bella Hadid has called out Instagram for shadow-banning her content regarding Palestine. She has never shied away from being vocal about Israeli atrocities again Palestinians and still refuses to do so, knowing well it could affect her career, a soaring one at that.
“My Instagram has disabled me from posting on my story — pretty much only when it is Palestine based I’m going to assume. When I post about Palestine I get immediately shadowbanned and almost 1 million less of you see my stories and posts,” the model wrote in her Instagram story.
In light of the latest attack on Muslims inside the Al-Aqsa mosque by the Israeli police, Bella posted video clips of innocent children being beaten and manhandled by the forces. She expressed her frustration with journalists/media outlets not showing factual information about what’s really going on there.
She penned a lengthy heartfelt caption in which she made it clear that she will not be silenced even though that is what is expected of her and other people in influential positions.
“If you really would like to silence me , just like the journalists, or really anyone trying to educate about Palestine, @instagram, I will continue to come forward with peace, showing factual information about how the IDF, Israeli government, and Settlers attack innocent Palestinians for no reason , except for simply being Palestinian,” she expressed her dismay.
“This is all a breach of human rights, and if you continue to sensor us, is the biggest form of bias and Unjust censorship,” added the supermodel.
