This week, Vogue Magazine published a post on Instagram, promoting Gigi Hadid’s comparison of Ukrainian victims to "those experiencing the same in Palestine."
Lizzy Savetsky made a video addressing Vogue, stating how preposterous this comparison is and how their post only perpetuates hate and antisemitism publicly. Thanks to all of you who shared the video and tagged Vogue, they removed all references to Palestine from the post.
Unsurprisingly, a massive anti-Israel contingency followed up by heavily pressuring Vogue to put Palestine back in the post. Vogue did.
We will not let this end here!! We must hold Vogue accountable for amplifying Gigi Hadid’s inflammatory and misleading remarks, equating Palestine to Ukraine. How dare Vogue Magazine push this message that takes the spotlight off Ukrainian victims in order to selfishly perpetuate an anti-Israel agenda. We all know this will only lead to more antisemitism globally!
Let’s call out Vogue Magazine for their dangerous post in a bigger sphere than our Instagram pages!! Let’s take out a full-page ad in the New York Times or other influential outlets, to tell the truth and fight for our people!

We need all hands on deck!

UPDATE***
Vicious antisemite @mohamedhadid recently compared Israel and Jews to Hitler. Our ad from #gofundme with @lizzysavetsky about the antisemitism of @bellahadid and @gigihadid and its dangerous consequences is coming out Gd willing next week in a national publication. The @nytimes and @latimes and others repeatedly blocked us despite our doing everything to accommodate their repeated requests for editorial changes. It’s taken months but we’ve found a renowned publication that still believes in free speech and the Jewish people’s right to defend themselves against defamation. Look out for the ad shortly and thank you all for your support against this triumvirate of Jew haters.
