I wonder who's advising her rn PR wise and whether she's listening.

Not the best response imo, but fingers crossed some lawsuits are filed and damages awarded to her and the Hadids, which they then pass on to Palestinian orgs...

The ad was apparently made by Schmuley Boteach, a far-right wing Jewish rabbi who has a history of attacking any public figure who isn’t 6484847992773662% supportive of Israel. Fuck this guy and good on Dua for speaking out.

Oh I remember that guy use to hang around Michael Jackson for a while!

One of Boteach's kids was engaged to some rabbi from Venezuela and my cousin liked the FB post when it was announced...and then like a year later, my cousin married that rabbi instead...that was quick.

I am sorry, but that is not enough information. Whaaaaat?

Scary for her and beyond fucked up for whoever deciding putting in that ad was a good idea
What the actual fuck

so does the NYT not vet their ads? that is a defamation lawsuit lawsuit waiting to happen

[zoaster_toaster]

This is the same paper that got Tom Cotton to write an op-ed defending police brutality. I wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t gaf.

I gave up on NYTimes when they started licking White supremacist balls when Trump got voted in.
I don't even read their Style section now.

The NYT doesn't care lol they publish articles calling for the ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians every couple of months

[ponyboy]

[msbombtastic]

yeah I'm happy she isn't backing down although I do hope she's careful just because there are psychos out there
