The American real estate developer shared a message via Instagram, saying, “A state that produces such violence is one that should not exist.”
Some of the comments underneath the post echoed Hadid’s message. “End Zionism and restore world peace!!!” one commenter wrote.
“Yes exactly this. From the river to the sea Palestine will be free,” another person said.
“I couldn’t agree more! Zioni$m needs to be dismantled for good!” a third wrote.
Hadid, 76, has been vocal regarding his anti-Israel views. He was born in Nazareth in 1948, shortly before his family fled to Lebanon during Israel’s War of Independence, started by the Arabs of the British Mandate for Palestine, who were later joined by several Arab nation’s armies.
Hadid’s family resettled in Damascus and relocated to Washington, D.C., when he was 14 years old.
In April 2024, the New York Post reported that Hadid had spent months harassing Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), sending him racist and homophobic messages due to his support for Israel.
“You[‘re] worse than the rats of New York sewage system. They have bigger brains than you. You might get a job as bouncer at gay bar,” Hadid wrote in one Instagram direct message, adding that the openly gay Afro-Latino congressman is a “slave to whites.”
“You are just unusual Black and colorful mouth for Israeli and AIPAC and looking for payday of over 500K,” Hadid said in another Instagram message, referring to the pro-Israel lobby in Washington.
