Adidas has released an updated version of the sneakers worn by athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, when the Black September terrorist group carried out a terrorist attack that killed eleven members of the Israeli delegation.
In a clearly provocative move, Adidas has chosen model Bella Hadid, known for her anti-Israel statements, as the face of the campaign to promote the shoe line. The celebrity, the daughter of Palestinian-American multimillionaire Mohamed Hadid, has repeatedly made anti-Israel statements to her many social media followers and spread anti-Semitic myths.
In particular, she claimed that “Israel has occupied Palestinian lands for 4,000 years” and that “Jesus Christ was a Palestinian.”
The American organization Stop Antisemitism condemned Adidas for such a controversial choice. Their post on social media said that “Adidas chose anti-Semite Bella Hadid as the face of the relaunch of the 1972 Olympic shoes, the same Olympics during which Jews were murdered by Palestinian terrorists.”

The presentation of new versions of SL-72 sports shoes is timed to coincide with the Summer Olympics in Paris and is dedicated to the history of the Olympic movement.
The 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack, also known as the Munich Massacre, occurred on September 5, 1972. During the incident, eight members of the Palestinian terrorist group Black September infiltrated the Olympic Village and took 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team hostage.
The attack ultimately resulted in the deaths of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches, one German police officer, and five terrorists. The tragic incident became one of the most famous terrorist attacks in Olympic history and caused widespread international resonance.
Earlier, Cursor reported that Bella Hadid starred in a video about Gaza, but it did not become popular.
