Nancy Mace Criticizes Bella Hadid Over Palestinian Map, Faces Backlash

Republican Representative Nancy Mace recently criticized supermodel Bella Hadid, labeling her a 'disgusting human being' for sharing a photo of herself with a historic map of Palestine. The map, which Hadid posed with during her 2022 visit to the Qatar National Library, depicts the region prior to the establishment of Israel. Mace's comments sparked widespread backlash on social media, with many defending Hadid and questioning Mace's stance. Supporters of Hadid pointed out that the map reflects historical realities, while critics of Mace accused her of being out of touch with her constituents. Hadid has been an outspoken advocate for Palestinian rights and has previously stated her willingness to lose modeling opportunities due to her views. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the public discourse around it.
