The former 'Bachelor' alum shared a lengthy post to her Instagram Story, vowing that she will continue to "use her words" during the brutal attacks of Israel.

"For those of you who are at a loss for words or being silenced, I will continue to use mine so you feel heard," she began.

Due to social media's significant impact on the current war, Frenkel added, "I'm not the same person I was not several days ago. I do not feel comfortable sharing like I once did on this platform. Social media is meant to be a window into my life, to share and connect with you all."

The proud Ukrainian then said that her family had received countless death threats.

"My reality has become this - I have received countless messages from people that - I deserve genocide, wishing death to my family and loved ones, being told I'm uneducated about my history," she wrote.

"That this is just the beginning, this is what justice looks like, have attempted to deny the atrocities of the Holocaust or reappropriate it for their argument, have attempted to deny or excuse rape, murder, kidnapping and say it's Western media propaganda with inflated Israeli casualties and even ask for proof of beheaded babies," she added.

The Blast previously reported that at least 40 babies and young children have reportedly been slaughtered — some of them beheaded — by Hamas terrorists.

The "Bachelor" alum added, "All I can think to do is share the pain my people are suffering, innocent civilians slaughtered because they are Jewish. As a response to Israel's 1200+ civilian death toll, sentiment globally has spilled into antisemitic rhetoric. So, this is not politics; this is bigotry and racism. People march at rallies chanting 'death to Jews!', Jewish businesses are being vandalized, my Jewish friends and family feel unsafe globally."

As of Tuesday, Hamas' surprise attack in Israel resulted in at least 40 casualties in babies and young children, adding to the nearly 1,200 overall. President Joe Biden also confirmed that 14 Americans are among the dead and American citizens are held hostage by Hamas. Those numbers continue to climb.

"To the people who have reached out to me to ask how I'm doing and if my family and friends are safe, your words carry so much weight right now," she continued. "I want to especially thank the Bachelor cast from my season for going out of their way to publicly and privately show their support."

She said, "To the people that have fallen quiet and who I've supported in their causes, marches, and suffering, your silence is deafening and will not be forgotten."
