Jessie J is targeted after revealing her 'heartbreak' over footage of Hamas hostage 'digging his own grave'
The British singer described images of emaciated Evyatar David, 24, as 'heartbreaking' as he was forced to dig what appeared to be his own grave.
Posting to her 14 million Instagram followers, Jessie J – who was recently rushed to hospital with an infection weeks after breast cancer surgery – wrote: 'I just cannot bear the evil in this world. Please, God, make the suffering end.'
She also included a quote from a pro-Israel activist that read: 'I thought images of starved Jews digging their own graves would forever be confined to history books.
'To see the past become present is a horror. Never Again. Again.'
But the 37-year-old singer's post was quickly met with a torrent of online abuse.
One troll described the pop star as a 'disgusting Zionist' while another branded her a 'terrorist and baby killer supporter'.
Another claimed she was trying to keep her 'Zio bosses happy'. Mr David, who was abducted by Hamas during the October 7, 2023, massacre at the Nova music festival, has been held in Gaza for 668 days.
On Saturday, the terror group released videos showing him visibly emaciated along with another hostage Rom Braslavski, 22.
In the video, Mr David said: 'I have no idea if there will be food. I haven't eaten for several consecutive days and I've been in a very, very difficult state for a very long time. Already several months.'
A chart he holds up appears to log his meals in captivity, with several days marked 'no food'.
Over the weekend, the star, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, posted on social media that she'd been taken to hospital with an infection and accumulation of fluid in her lungs following surgery six weeks earlier.
The singer, who has a two-year-old son, said she was back on the same ward she had been on previously over fears she had symptoms that 'pointed to a blood clot on the lung'.
She added: 'They ran a lot of tests which ended up showing I have an infection with a little fluid on my lungs. Finding it hard to breathe in.'

Jessie J targeted by vile trolls after sharing heartbreak over Hamas hostage video
Jessie J, who this week spoke candidly about her ongoing health struggles following recent surgery for breast cancer, received a torrent of online abuse after an Instagram post Jessie J faced a torrent on online abuse after she shared her sadness at footage of an Israeli hostage captured by Hamas. The singer, 37, called images of emaciated Evyatar David "heartbreaking" as he was forced to dig what appeared to be his own grave. She wrote on Instagram: "I just cannot bear the evil in this world. Please, God, make the suffering end." The Brit Award-winning musician also included a quote from a pro-Israel activist in her post to her 14 million Instagram followers. However, trolls targeted the star, who was recently rushed to hospital with an infection weeks after breast cancer surgery. The abuse comes after Katie Price recently worried her fans on Instagram with a family photo. Following her post, Jessie, from Chadwell Heath, east London, was branded a "disgusting Zionist" while another troll called her a "terrorist and baby killer supporter" among the sickening barrage of abuse. Another vile troll claimed she was trying to keep her "Zio bosses happy". The musician, who has had three UK number one singles, had referred to a hostage who was abducted by Hamas during the October 7, 2023, massacre at the Nova music festival. He has been held in Gaza for the 668 days since then. In addition to her own thoughts, mum-of-one Jessie included a quote from the poem, which read: "I thought images of starved Jews digging their own graves would forever be confined to history books. To see the past become present is a horror. Never Again. Again." Some, though, showed the Londoner their support, thanking her for bringing the horrors to the attention of social media users. One person posted: "Thank for speaking out about the actual horrors going on." Another said: "Thank you for your bravery in speaking out against the treatment of the starving hostages." It was another emotional post from the star, famed for tunes such as Domino and Price Tag, following ones about her health battle. After she was rushed to hospital weeks after her cancer operation, Jessie J joked: "Apparently it's called… Dramatic? I think that's the spelling. My symptoms are the same and no idea what's wrong yet. But my sarcasm and sense of humour are holding on." Filming herself for what she called her first "real‑time" update since her operation, Jessie admitted: "I think people think I'm hanging on by a thread… which in some moments has felt that way." The singer added: "Like two or three days ago when I woke up and I couldn't breathe. I still have pain in my chest when I breathe, but it's not as bad."
