Real Estate Developer Mohamed Hadid Sparks Outrage with Controversial Israel-Nazi Comparison
Renowned American real estate developer and father of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid, Mohamed Hadid, has stirred up a storm of criticism after making a controversial post on social media. Hadid took to his Instagram account on October 28, sharing an infographic that compared Israel to Nazis, triggering intense backlash and outrage from netizens.
Hadid’s now-deleted post featured a side-by-side comparison claiming that Israel and the Nazis shared common perspectives, such as labeling victims as terrorists, expelling millions from their homes, and enforcing collective punishments. The infographic further alleged that Israel was founded on Jewish supremacy, while the Nazi Party was founded on Aryan supremacy. It also drew a parallel between Israel’s signature method of carpet bombing and the Nazis’ signature method of gas chambers.
As the post comparing Israel to Nazis went viral, numerous users condemned Hadid, branding him as anti-Semitic and a hypocrite. With accusations of racism and heated criticisms, some even expressed astonishment if he would be allowed to construct another house in California. The online outrage continues to intensify but neither Mohamed Hadid, Gigi, nor Bella Hadid has commented on the controversy surrounding the real estate developer’s since-deleted Instagram post.
It’s worth noting that Mohamed Hadid has been openly expressing his views on the Gaza and Hamas crisis, which began on October 7. The ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza has lasted for over fifty years, with both sides experiencing significant casualties during this recent escalation. The responsibility for the situation remains controversial and widely disputed.
While the Hamas group, designated as a terrorist organization, initiated the first attack in years, the true nature of the complex struggle is subject to differing interpretations. Thus far, no statements have been provided by Mohamed Hadid or his daughters regarding the backlash following his Instagram post that compared Israelis to Nazis.
Despite the severity of the backlash and the sensitive nature of the subject, the Hadid family has chosen not to publicly address the controversy thus far. The repercussions of this contentious social media post continue to unfold, with strong reactions from various perspectives. The responses encapsulate the charged nature of discussions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, highlighting the deep divisions and sensitivities involved.
It remains to be seen how this online controversy will impact Mohamed Hadid’s reputation and future endeavors. As discussions on this topic endure, the global audience waits to see if any further clarification or statements will be made regarding his since-deleted comparison of Israel to Nazis on Instagram.
