An Israeli model is taking aim at the Chicago chapter of Black Lives Matter for their support of the terrorist group Hamas following the attack in Israel earlier this month.
Yityish “Titi” Aynaw, the first Miss Israel of African descent, slammed the activist group for not supporting Jewish victims.

“I am shocked, so shocked by the response of Black Lives Matter regarding the terror attack situation here in Israel,” the 32-year-old said in a video shared to Instagram.
“I remember you screaming in the streets, ‘I can’t breathe.’ I can’t breathe,” she said, pointing to herself.
The Chicago chapter of BLM shared an image last week that has since been deleted of a person parachuting with a Palestinian flag and the words, “I stand with Palestine.”
The image is in reference to some Hamas members paragliding into Israel to launch their surprise attack.
In a later update, the group said it sent out messages “that we aren’t proud of,” but didn’t apologize.
“We stand with Palestine and the people who will do what they must to live free,” they added.
Aynaw, who moved to Israel as a 12-year-old orphan from a small Ethiopian village, continued her criticism of the group by showing a young woman being dragged from the back of a vehicle with her clothes bloodied.
“So I want to inform you that right now there’s Israeli hostages in Gaza. Babies, children, mothers, women. Entire families who cannot breathe. They were kidnapped, raped by the terrorist organization called Hamas. Do you think killing is enough for them?
“They attacked people at a party near the Gaza Strip. They kidnapped women, they kidnapped girls who have not started their lives. They rape them, slaughtering their souls.
“Hamas is ISIS. Pray for us. Pray for Israel because we can’t breathe.”

Aynaw said BLM and other groups not supporting Israel “need to learn their facts.
“People need to learn who they’re really supporting, what they do to their own people, let alone Jews,” she told the New York Post. “They don’t care about saving lives. There are no human rights (with Hamas). They kill their own – they also kill Muslims, Bedouins who serve in the army.”
Aynaw said she is still processing the news of Jewish people being abducted and added she had friends who attended the music festival that was attacked.
“The situation here in Israel is so bad. We really haven’t experienced something like this since the Holocaust,” she said.
