While the Formula 1 season is currently in full swing, a part of this world has come to a standstill due to wartime atrocities. And even though Kelly Piquet‘s life is going perfectly well with her partner, Max Verstappen, winning the World Championship this year to complete his title hat-trick, the Brazilian model has decided to speak out about the truly cruel incidents that are taking place right now as a result of the Israel-Palestine tension.
The daughter of two-time World Champion Nelson Piquet Sr decided to raise her voice against the mass ‘genocide’ that has occured in Palestine, but many of her followers were not happy with her protests. It all started when Kelly Piquet shared an Instagram reel by the user named Katie Bogen on the Israeli oppression on the Palestinians. In the reel, Bogen claimed that she has ‘studied and researched’ it that the ‘vicious Zionist state’ of Israel has committed genocide in Palestine.
Kelly Piquet mentioned the atrocities that are currently taking place in the war-torn nations of Israel and Palestine. But her main topic of discussion was the mass killing in Giza that has already captured attention of the international press.
I can't stop thinking about all pain, suffering, mourning, trauma, shock, despair that the Palestinians in Gaza are living through right now. To imagine all the young innocent souls that have been lost, entire families wiped out, parent- less children, and parents who've had to hug their dead children.I'm also thinking about the hostages that are in the hands of Hamas, and thankful to see that four of them have now been safely released. But the images and videos I am witnessing daily from the horror happening in Gaza is beyond comprehension.Kelly Piquet wrote in her Instagram story.
Kelly Piquet followed her story update on Katie Bogen’s reel with another post that called for a ceasefire in Gaza. Then, she hared a string of posts to bring the horrific scenes in Palestine to the common mass’ awareness. But in return, she started receiving, as she has claimed in her subsequent story updates, ‘death threats’ and DMs with ‘highly obscene language and obscene pictures’. She directly addressed those trolls on her Instagram profile, urging them to unfollow her if they did not side with her views.
My follower count or brand deals are not more important than a life I could be saving by advocating to stop this.Kelly Piquet wrote on her Instagram page.
Kelly Piquet calls it ‘human’ to demand a ceasefire in Gaza
Kelly Piquet posted a string of Instagram story updates on how the children in Gaza, Palestine, are being killed by the perpetrators from Israel. This has led to some of her critics saying that she is openly participating in some antisemetic propaganda. But Piquet urged them to understand the gravity of the situation by sharing a public statement with her Instagram followers.
Criticising the state of Israel or the ideology used to justify these war crimes does NOT equate to being antisemetic. Everyone has the right to be mistaken. But the more you research the more you will find the truth. So share what is going on. It's only Human to ask for a cease fire.Kelly Piquet wrote on her Instagram story.
Kelly Piquet’s current love interest, Max Verstappen, is the reigning World Champion with a lot of influence in the motorsports world and even beyond. But the Dutchman has not yet commented on this recent development, neither has he shared anything related to the Israel-Palestine conflict in the recent past.
