Adidas has apologised to Bella Hadid after the supermodel was removed from a shoe campaign that was in reference to an Olympics at which Israeli athletes were killed by pro-Palestinian terrorists.<\/p>\n

Adverts featuring the US supermodel for a relaunch of an Adidas shoe from the 1972 Munich Olympics were pulled<\/strong><\/a> on Friday, after pro-Israel groups called them “sick” and offensive.<\/p>\n

After reports suggested Hadid was considering legal action against Adidas over the campaign, the company issued an apology to the model, and a number of others.<\/p>\n

“Connections continue to be made to the terrible tragedy that occurred at the Munich Olympics due to our recent SL72 campaign,” it said on its Adidas Originals Instagram feed.<\/p>\n

“These connections are not meant, and we apologise for any upset or distress caused to communities around the world. We made an unintentional mistake.<\/p>\n

“We also apologise to our partners, Bella Hadid<\/strong><\/a>, ASAP Nast, Jules Kound\u00e9, and others, for any negative impact on them and we are revising the campaign.”<\/p>\n

Palestinian terrorists from the group Black September killed 11 Israeli athletes and a German police officer<\/strong><\/a> at the 1972 Games.<\/p>\n

Hadid – whose father is Palestinian – has been outspoken against Israel’s<\/strong><\/a> war on Hamas, in which more than 39,000 Palestinians have been killed since 7 October, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry.<\/p>\n

Hamas<\/strong><\/a> insurgents stormed into southern Israel on 7 October and killed some 1,200 people – mostly civilians – and abducted about 250 hostages.<\/p>\n

As a result of Hadid’s views and the historic terror attack, the American Jewish Committee said Adidas was using “a vocal anti-Israel model” for the campaign, which they said “is either a massive oversight or intentionally inflammatory”.<\/p>\n

The chief executive of the Combat Antisemitism Movement also said: “To have her launch a shoe commemorating an Olympics when so much Jewish blood was shed is just sick.”<\/p>\n

After pulling the adverts on Friday, Adidas said in a statement to Sky’s US partner network NBC News: “We are conscious that connections have been made to tragic historical events – though these are completely unintentional – and we apologise for any upset or distress caused.<\/p>\n

“As a result we are revising the remainder of the campaign.”<\/p>\n
