Follow-up: Adidas now apologizes to the anti-Semite for firing her

As previously mentioned here, the German sportswear giant, Adidas dropped Bella Hadid from their SL72 shoe campaign after it was pointed out that the birth of the shoe coincided with the murders of 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team participating in the 1972 Munich Olympics by a Palestinian group known as Black September.

Hadid, famous for her anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic support of Hamas [as are her sister Gigi and her father Mohammed] was summarily fired from the campaign and the company apologized for its 'insensitivity' after being blasted by pro-Israel normal people. 

“These connections are not meant and we apologize for any upset or distress caused to communities around the world,” Adidas said in a statement shared on social media. “We made an unintentional mistake.”

The company concluded their groveling by next apologizing to its “partners” in the campaign — including Hadid, soccer player Jules Koundé, and rapper A$AP Nast — “for any negative impact on them and we are revising the campaign.”

Hadid has publicly criticized Israel many times and chanted that "Israel" be replaced with "Palestine," a made up place. She called Israel a "white supremacist" state, in spite of Israelis being of all ethnic backgrounds. 

Hadid also falsely accused Israel of perpetuating ethnic cleansing and apartheid, in spite of the logarithmic increase in the Arab population in Gaza and the fact that they have increased in number since 1948 from about 80,000 to 2,500,000.  

If Israel is committing ethnic cleansing, aka genocide, they aren't doing a very good job at it. And if they are an apartheid state, then why are Arabs living there and Gaza citizens allowed to work there?

The Adidas Corporation's founders were members of the Nazi party, and pulled Hadid from the campaign late Thursday and apologized over the situation.

“We are conscious that connections have been made to tragic historical events — though these are completely unintentional — and we apologize for any upset or distress caused,” Adidas said. “As a result we are revising the remainder of the campaign.”

Hadid made no public comment but insiders told Us Weekly that she hired legal counsel to take action against the company “for their lack of public accountability” and for releasing a campaign that “would associate anyone with the death and violence of what took place at the 1972 Munich Games.”

Sad how hatred can come wrapped in a pretty package.
