However, he received criticism from social media users who questioned the effectiveness of a ceasefire and accused him of being biased.
He wrote, “Both [Nazis and Israel] added and labeled the victims as Terrorists.. regardless of their peacefulness of other activities. Some Palestinians and some Jews even changed their names.”
Social media users reacted negatively to Hadid’s statement.
One person stated, “Deport him,” while another said, “Rich coming from a well know con-artist who doesn’t pay his bills.” (Trending: Donald Trump Is A ‘Cockroach’ That Just Won’t Go Away)
