Singer Dua Lipa has been criticised after sharing an Instagram post which referred to members of the Israeli government as “fake Jewish ppl [people]”.

The British pop star, who has 46.4 million followers, appears to have removed the 336-word post by an Instagram user called 'Vinarfuso' in the wake of the criticism. 

Making comparisons between the recent death of George Floyd and Palestinians, the post read: “The government which they hold no right to vote, a government which suffocates them socially, economically, and of course physically.

“Yet, the only ‘justification’ as to why they don’t deserve freedom is because ‘Hamas calls for the destruction of Israel.’
