Amelia Dimoldenberg Is Being Praised For Repeatedly Acknowledging Bella Hadid’s Palestinian Identity

Viewers were quick to pick up on this sweet moment between Amelia and Bella when the interview clip was shared to X, with one particularly viral tweet reading: “I think Amelia let her know this was a safe space to say Palestine and I actually love that. You can see the hesitation a bit.”

“She was lowkey avoiding saying Palestinian, then Amelia said it,” a similarly popular tweet added. Somebody else wrote: “Bella seemed so nervous to say the word so she just didn’t (I don’t blame her given the disgusting attacks on her), meanwhile Amelia made a point of saying the word Palestinian twice, making it really clear where she stood. Makes such a difference.”

“I really appreciate Amelia saying Palestine out loud bc watching Bella mince her words is actually painful to witness, she should never have to be so careful just talking about where her family is from,” another said.

One more theorized: “bella wasn’t afraid to say palestine for her sake but rather didn’t want to create any controversy for amelia and her show but then amelia let her know she was an ally and i think that’s wonderful.”

While somebody else circled back to the original topic as they tweeted: “I encourage anyone to try Palestinian cuisine if you ever wanna try some of the most incredible food you will ever eat in your life."
