let's go back to bella hadid, can you explain for people who don't necessarily know why bella hadid holdsortant and why have we got to a stage where the official israeli twitter account is taking on a supermodel? so, bella hadid as i mentioned is a palestinian american model with tens of millions of followers on instagram. she is the sister of gigi, who has a similar number of followers. they have both been very outspoken over the past two weeks, sharing instagram posts and instagram stories about the situation, and it kind of culminated in the case of bella hadid with her attending a rally of a pro—palestinian rally in brooklyn in new york this weekend. so, what the official israel twitter account pulled her up on was that they accused her of advocating forjewish people to be thrown into the sea, which many people have taken issue with that analysis of what she did. what she actually did was she participated in a chant which said "from the river to the sea, palestine will be free." which many palestinian activists and advocates say is a rallying call for all palestinians that live within

israel account, the official israeli twitter account singling out the palestinian heritage model bella hadidvocal, probably the most vocal celebrity that i have seen. i willjump in because i want to come back to bella against the state of israel in a second. i think it is important to flag that bella hadid did return to social media to say that in her view, what she was chanting in her posts have been pro—palestinian as opposed to anti—israeli. i wanted to pick up on that point about tech platforms — how mindful do you think tech platforms are about their role? i mean, i was reading that nick clegg the vice president of global affairs for facebook is actually having meetings with the israeli authorities and with palestinian authorities. that is extraordinary to me, that in the middle of all of this, you have these meetings taking place. do you think they are really aware of the gravity thousands and thousands of miles away writing posts that are intended to escalate rather than to quiet the situation. but you yourself are not going to incur the suffering that will result from people who are

terrorist organization -- hamas is a terrorist organization having people like gigi and gg and bella hadid whose followers don't know any better and they are saying stand up for palestine, stand up with hamas, they had no idea what they are talking about. it is insanity. and where is the mainstream mediahe in this? how come they haven't been covering these horrific attacks of these anti-semitic attacks as they should be doing? i can guarantee you that if this had happened under the trump administration they would have been singing aou very different tune.gi it's crazy how quickly things have changed. >> jason: the difference how this national media cover thesey attacks right in new york city, right in los angeles, cameras rolling, they are unabashedly doing this. but they don't get called out. when is the left actually going to stand up -- they can give a little s lip service and say, we stand with israel, but when it's time toy stand with dell make , i see no time to doing something. >> you have members of congress, and say that they basically are anti-israel. let's be very clear: there a

politicians, seeing the mainstream media, christiane amanpour, bella hadid, influencers justify terrorismgeting innocent civilians. >> shannon: jason, you have been a member of congress as a republican. we have democratic members of congress to say there's more to the story and they are speaking out. here is ilhan omar tweeting yesterday. "israeli air strikes killing civilians in gaza is an act of terrorism. palestinians deserve protection. unlike israel missile defense program such as iron dome don't exist to protect palestinian civilians. it's unconscionable to not condemn these attacks on the weak." how do you respond? >> i'm always stunned, the position she takes. let's understand where hamas gets its weapons and its money. they come from iran. the biden administration's been coddling iran. i think they feel empowered at this point. they are going to benefit financially. so i think they are testing the biden administration because they know that joe biden and kamala harris will not stand strong with israel. this wasn't happening with donald trump. there was a clear line. people weren'

bella hadid participating in a protest commemorating the 1948 displacement of hundreds of thousands of palestinians amid israel's declaration of independence. the shifting moods surrounding the conflict goes beyond celebrities in major cities. a recent gallup poll on american views on the conflict shows favorable views of the palestinian authority are at a new high of 30%. additionally. 25% of those polled say they sympathize more with palestinians. then with israelis. it's just traumatic. it is not productive. >> it's not productive to peace and the united states needs to stop supporting that. and that's what we're here standing up as american saying congress members alexandria ocasio cortez and bernie sanders have called for the u.s. to withhold support for prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> and the israeli government on thursday wisconsin congressman mark pocan organized a series of speeches drawing attention to what he called disproportionate discrimination. that palestinians face in their daily lives when serious human rights abuses compound such as the recent attacks on places
