Anti-Israel model Bella Hadid has claimed that she did not know the "historical context" of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre when she accepted a deal with Adidas.
Hadid was recently offered to be the face of Adidas' revamped 1972 Olympics shoe, a move criticized by many due to the Munich massacre and Hadid's anti-Israel statements. The company later apologized.
During the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, 11 defenseless Israeli athletes and coaches were murdered by the Palestinian Arab terror group "Black September."
Hadid, who claims to be "Palestinian," has accused Israel of being a "Jewish supremacist" country and egregiously claimed that "Jesus was Palestinian."
Speaking for the first time since the Adidas controversy broke, Hadid claimed that she would "never knowingly engage with any art or work that is linked to a horrific tragedy of any kind.”
She added in her Instagram statement, "I am shocked, I am upset, and I am disappointed in the lack of sensitivity that went into this campaign," and claimed, "Had I been made aware, from the bottom of my heart, I would never have participated."
Adidas and her team, she accused, "should have known," adding that she herself should have done more research and "spoken up."
"I do not believe in hate in any form, including antisemitism," she said. "That will never waver, and I stand by that statement to the fullest extent."
