Ghinwa Bhutto, widow of late Murtaza Bhutto, came under fire on social media after she quote tweeted a misinformed tweet which claimed Jemima Khan was on vacations with his sons and Tyrian White in Israel.
The random Twitter account posted an image of Jemima along with her sons and Tyrian White and it wrote that the picture is taken in the city of Tel Aviv in Jerusalem and it further added that the whole family is wearing traditional Jewish clothes.
Imran Khan’s family on a visit to the apartheid state of #Israel . What does this mean to Pakistan? https://t.co/qtuwqLjrU7

On the other hand, Jemima immediately took to Twitter and schooled Ghinwa on the lack of knowledge and awareness.
She clarified that the picture posted was of family vacation in Mexico and the clothes which they were wearing traditional Mexican clothes called ponchos, and they are not traditional Jew attire.
This tweet is staggeringly ignorant and would be funny if it weren’t dangerous. The photo is taken on a family holiday in Mexico (not Israel) and we are wearing ponchos (not Jewish religious dress) @GhinwaBhutto – shame on you. https://t.co/PenNwbe6Mt

Ghinwa with a heavy heart accepted her mistake and immediately realised that she was wrong. She took to Twitter and apologised for her mistake.
@Jemima_Khan . Oh my god! that was Mexico ? My apologies. How perceptions can easily blind people , even me. But please, please do not lecture me about shame .

You just cannot thank God enough that you were born in Pakistan where if the comedy sitcoms start to disappoint you, you always have the option to switch to news channels.
