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

      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>

    Israel had criticised the choice of Ms Hadid. It accused her of hostility to Israel and noted that 11 Israeli athletes had been killed by Palestinian attackers at the Munich Games

    Holy fucking shit, the audacity. Thousands of Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli attackers, far more recently.

        It’s far, far less than Israel has killed. Before Oct 7th, it was about ten to one Palestinians killed for every Israeli killed. Now it’s much much worse and getting worse everyday. Or does that not matter?

        Now, can we say Hamas is bad? Of course we can, but by whatever metrics we use to call out Hamas as being bad, Israel is at least ten times worse.

        You can’t bring in the amount of children Hamas has killed, and at the same time ignore that Is real has killed way more, and expect people to take you seriously. And if you want to try to play the “who shot first” game, that was also Israel, forcing its way into the land that they now occupy. And every square inch they have invaded since.

          How many American models have been dropped for trying to genocide my people and invading my country without cause?

                Right, so you’re lying to yourself, since you aren’t living in one of the two, and you don’t know which two I even mean.

                Believe me, we’re trying to fix shit, but the last time we left the rest of the world alone, you guys dragged us kicking and screaming into WWI, and then Japan decided to be Japan during WWII. We can’t leave the rest of the world alone, you’ll start WWIII, and we really don’t want to use our nukes. That’s just a few blowhard politicians like Trump.

                Also we don’t have anything but defensive troops deployed currently so we aren’t invading anyone currently.

        It matters, but for Israel to object to the presence of a Palestinian on the grounds that others of her genetic stock killed some of theirs is both nonsensical (she can’t be held responsible for the actions of others just because they share a skin tone) and hypocritical (because they are currently engaged in the same activity, on a greater scale). I won’t be taking further questions.

          No I understand. Only IDF crimes matter and they reflect on all of Israel, Hamas crimes don’t matter and they reflect on no Palestinians, even Hamas! Only one side may be criticized, and being critical of the other side is forbidden here. I understand.

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

    Seriously though… How the fuck does Israel have so much influence? Like, okay the West needs a puppet state in the middle east for… Reasons… But how does the puppet state end up in control of everything?

    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.

    https://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.

    It’s a model. She wasn’t even involved in the 11 Israeli deaths at the 1972 Olympics. So why chase after her?

    Is simply being born and raised in Palestine/by Palestinian parents a bad thing now? This is just the Eric Saade situation all over again.

      I mean, they’re working hard to exterminate the entire population, it’s not hard to believe they don’t want them in shoe advertisements.

        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.
