Israeli model May Tager is at the center of an international controversy as Israel haters are calling on the renowned fashion firm Dior to drop her from its ad campaigns. And the Israel bashers are also mistakenly claiming that Tager was hired only after Bella Hadid was fired due to Hadid’d anti-Israel politics.
For the record, Bella Hadid’s contract ended in May and it was months before the current fighting began that May Tager was hired by Dior. But not knowing the facts has never stopped the supporters of terrorism and the haters of Israel before. Since the barbaric massacre enacted by Hams terrorists on October 7, celebrities and politicians alike from around the world have been regurgitating a multitude of lies about Israel.

Meanwhile, more than 1,000 members of the fashion and beauty industries around the world, including Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Donna Karan, Christopher Kane and Rachel Zoe, signed an open letter condemning the growing antisemitism in the wake of Israel’s war against Hamas.
“Fashion has always been a powerful platform for self-expression, inclusivity, and the celebration of diverse cultures. It has been heartbreaking for us to witness so many instances, where our industry has continued to enable acts of discrimination and hatred,” they wrote. “Antisemitism, in any form, has no place in our society, let alone within an industry that prides itself on creativity and acceptance.”
“Fashion companies and organizations should implement regular mandatory diversity and sensitivity training for all employees, from designers to executives, ensuring a deeper understanding of different cultures and religions, including Judaism,” they said.
“We must start by acknowledging that antisemitism exists and understanding its impact on individuals and communities,” the letter added. “Education and awareness are key in fostering an inclusive and respectful environment. Fashion companies and organizations should implement regular mandatory diversity and sensitivity training for all employees, from designers to executives, ensuring a deeper understanding of different cultures and religions, including Judaism. Furthermore, transparency is crucial in combating antisemitism and all forms of racism.”
