Fitness Instructor in Los Angeles Tears Down Poster of Kidnapped Israeli Kids Outside Gold’s Gym in Venice

A fitness instructor in Los Angeles is making headlines for an unusual act – tearing down a poster of kidnapped Israeli kids outside Gold’s Gym in Venice. And to make matters even more outrageous, he proudly admitted to doing it, telling a bystander filming the incident to “Get the f*** away.”

The man responsible for this controversial act is none other than Zaid Shaat, a model and fitness trainer. According to his social media profiles, Shaat considers himself a “Lifetime Natural Athlete” and is passionate about motivating people to live a healthy lifestyle. However, this recent incident has landed him in hot water, especially considering the founder of Gold’s Gym, Joe Gold, was Jewish.

It’s worth noting that this incident comes at a time of heightened tensions between Israel and Hamas. On October 7, Hamas launched a series of attacks on Israel, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the hostage-taking of over 200 civilians. In response, Israel has launched airstrikes into Gaza, aiming to eliminate Hamas. The conflict has sparked controversy, particularly regarding the civilian casualties.
