Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, some celebrities find themselves in the midst of controversy for their comments on social media. One of these figures is Kylie Jenner, who faced backlash for a now-deleted Instagram story expressing support for Israel.
In the wake of recent deadly attacks involving Hamas and Israel, Kylie posted an Instagram story featuring Israel’s flag along with the caption, “Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel!” However, her show of support didn’t go unnoticed, and criticism from individuals advocating for Palestine and Hamas soon followed. Under the weight of public opinion, Kylie quickly removed the post, further intensifying the discourse surrounding the conflict.
Screenshots of Kylie’s deleted Instagram story swiftly circulated on various social media platforms, and her comments section was flooded with a mix of reactions. While some criticized the actress for backing Israel, others questioned her decision to remove the story, deeming it indecisive.
One user commented, “Kylie Jenner reportedly has deleted an Instagram story showing support for Israel… why do celebs act dumb and spineless…” Another stated, “Kylie Jenner supporting Israel when her friend Bella Hadid is Palestinian is crazy.”
Mia Khalifa, another public figure, also faced backlash for her stance on the conflict. After expressing support for Palestine, she found herself dealing with criticism and controversy. Mia responded to the hate with a tweet, saying, “I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists. My bad.”
Television actress Gauahar Khan took a different approach, advocating for peace. She shared, “Killings are wrong. All killings are wrong. Let the world have peace. Let it stop right at the very beginning of it. There is no right or wrong in war; it’s ALL wrong. So all countries must adhere to human rights. ALL lives matter. ALL lives matter. ALL lives matter. Can’t say it more clearly. All wars must stop. Live and let live.”
Controversial figure Kangana Ranaut shared her perspective, highlighting the distressing nature of the conflict. She expressed, “Impossible to scroll through social media and not get jolted, scarred, appalled, or deeply disturbed looking at pictures of Israeli women being attacked by ‘terrorists’.”
Actress Swara Bhaskar also weighed in on the matter, advocating for Palestinians. She wrote, “If you have not felt shock and horror at Israel’s unending atrocities on Palestinians… then I’m afraid your shock and horror at Hamas’ attacks on Israel seem a bit hypocritical.”
As tensions persist in the Israel-Hamas conflict, these celebrity comments continue to fuel discussions and debates on social media.
