"Week 270. Today we are striking in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza. The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice, and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected," she wrote in the post.
In the days following her open support for Gazans, where she held a pro-Palestine poster that read 'Stand with Gaza,' Israel responded with sharp action.

Israel announced that it would chuck off all of her references from the Israeli textbooks included in the school curriculum.
The Israeli education ministry said that her stance on the Israel-Hamas war "disqualifies her from being an educational and moral role model, and she is no longer eligible to serve as an inspiration and educator for Israeli students.”
The ministry at the time added that Hamas is a "terrorist organisation" responsible for the murder of more than thousand innocent Israelis, including children, women, and the elderly, and that "it has abducted over 200 people to Gaza."
