Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Israeli social media personality Adele Bespalov is facing sharp criticism online after posting photos from her vacation in Miami on Israel's National Remembrance Day for the October 7th attacks. Bespalov shared images with the caption "I'm in Miami bitch" on the same day Israelis were commemorating the victims of the Hamas attack.

Her followers reacted with anger and disappointment, questioning her insensitivity and lack of awareness regarding the significance of the date in Israel. Many commenters urged her to show respect for the day and suggested she could have easily postponed her post by a day. They argued that as a public figure with hundreds of thousands of followers, she has a responsibility to be mindful of the content she shares, especially during sensitive times.

Some users defended Bespalov, suggesting that not every celebrity post should be turned into a debate about remembrance. However, the majority of reactions expressed dismay at her choice of timing for sharing festive vacation photos while many in Israel were reflecting on the tragedy.

As of now, Bespalov has not responded to the public outcry or offered an explanation for her decision to post the photos on that particular day.
