Jessie J faced online abuse after she told of her horror at footage of an Israeli hostage captured by Hamas.

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.’
