Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ms Lattouf for comment.
The post, which has been viewed thousands of times, comes after Ms Lattouf was banned from presenting ABC Sydney's Mornings programme.

Her posts on various online platforms are believed to be in breach of the ABC's social media policy.
Ms. Lattouf did not return to present her scheduled services for the morning program.
An ABC spokesperson confirmed to Daily Mail Australia at the time that she would not return.

She was fired from her role as presenter of the ABC Sydney Mornings radio program after a series of social media posts about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
“An ill-considered post or tweet could immediately jeopardize this perception of impartiality,” the ABC rules say.
Ms Lattouf later hit back, saying she was “considering her legal options”.
“I am very disappointed by the ABC's decision today,” she said.
'I think I was unfairly dismissed. This is not a victory for journalism or for honest, critical thinking.”
Ms. Latouf attempted to analyze the conflict between Israel and Palestine in an Instagram video posted in October that called both Hamas and the Israeli government “extremists.”
While condemning the anti-Arab and anti-Semitic rhetoric, she added in the video that “you can and must condemn the illegal military occupation of Palestine that has been going on for 75 years.”
Since the October 7 attacks, Israel has attacked the Gaza Strip with a series of brutal aerial bombardments, killing more than 20,000 people, including nearly 9,000 children.
Ms Lattouf has since filed an application with the Fair Work Commission, claiming she was 'unlawfully dismissed' by the ABC.
She also announced that she will now focus on her newest career: a new podcast titled “The Antoinettes.”
