Yaffa Adar was among the more than 200 captives taken by Hamas on 7th October following the brutal assault across southern Israel.
Abd Elhadi shared another image of Hamas forces breaching Israel’s security barrier with the caption “Let’s go, Berlin style,” referring to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
The actress’ posts received massive backlash from netizens. X user Adam Albilya wrote, “Maisa expressed support for the slaughters of Jews, of our infants, the burning of people alive, rape, murder, and the abduction of Jewish women, she posted stories encouraging Hamas’s actions, “LETS DO IT BERLIN STYLE!”
Abd Elhadi’s co-star Ofer Shechter took to social media saying, “I’m ashamed of you. You should be ashamed of yourself. You live in Nazareth, act and star in our TV shows and films, and then stab us in the back.”
Abd Elhadi has appeared in several Israeli TV shows, Hollywood film “World War Z,” and British series “Baghdad Central”. She is a Palestinian hailing from the Israeli city of Nazareth.
