"Liberate Palestine," one surfer wrote in a post she posted on Instagram today (Monday).
"Your country does not exist in the world. Only a state called Palestine exists forever," wrote another surfer alongside an emoji of Palestinian flags.
"I adored you but now I understand that you are from Israel (with a shoe emoji next to the national emblem)," wrote another surfer.

In the post you can see many angry reactions in the Arabic language with Palestinian flags by their side.
An antisemitic response caught our eye, saying, "Now all Jewish girls will think they have the most beautiful face in the world."
It is important to note that the title is given by a vote of the public around the world.
Last year Shelby came in second place, a year earlier in third place and in 2017 Shelby came in 14th place.

Along with the negative and racist reactions, there were quite a few encouraging reactions.
"A beautiful achievement for our Israel and that everyone will be jealous," wrote one surfer.
"She's beautiful," Natalie Dadon exclaimed.
The model, who came in third place herself, wrote to her stage: "Congratulations, beautiful."
Another American model praised her and wrote: "Such a beautiful one."
This morning, the model told "Israel Today" that it is "really exciting to close the circle. I have not yet digested that this year I am starring at the top of the list that has 100 women, it is definitely respectable. It is time to say thank you with lots of appreciation and love to everyone who chose me."
