KARACHI: American model Gigi Hadid is possibly the only prominent celebrity to raise her voice on the Palestinian issue and consequently to receive a backlash from Twitterati. Many in response to her tweets took to Twitter, attempting to correct her facts. Regardless of whose opinion is true over the matter, the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian land is just another example of how nations for the greater part of the history have tried to intervene, overpower and unjustifiably occupy the land of others. The Palestinian issued too is one such where unarmed Palestinians engaged in an asymmetric warfare with the Israeli forces have resisted the illegal occupation of their land for the longest time.
