Reality star Kylie Jenner deleted a pro-Israel post she shared with her 400 million followers after the terrorist attack by Hamas over the weekend.
After news of the attack went public, Jenner shared a post from the account @StandWithUs to her Instagram stories. It featured a photo of an Israeli flag and said, “Now and always we stand with the people of Israel!”
Despite Jenner quickly deleting the Instagram story, followers kept posting negative comments on older photos on her account. Many shared Palestinian flag emojis and mocked the social media influencer for having an opinion at all.
“Someone ask Kylie Jenner to point to Israel on the map,” one person wrote on X.
“It’s actually way worse that Kylie Jenner just deleted the Israel post,” another person wrote. “It shows a lack of knowledge and care, she just posted it to be talked about.”
“Don’t get involved in politics and say that u support i**ael. P@lestine has been suffering for ages,” another person wrote on Jenner’s most recent post.
“Are u even human if u are with zionists,” another person mocked.
Others mentioned how it must be awkward for Jenner to show her support for Israel even though she’s friends with model Bella Hadid, who is openly pro-Palestine.
“Kylie Jenner supporting Israel when her friend Bella Hadid is Palestinian is crazy,” one comment said.
“Do these celebrities listen to each other when they talk?” another person wrote. “Like when Bella Hadid talks about Palestine and being Palestinian does Kylie Jenner know what that means?”
People around the world are condemning the horrific attack, which targeted civilians including women, children, and the elderly. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially declared war on Sunday after the Hamas attack.
“Citizens of Israel, we are at war — not in an operation, not in rounds — at war,” Netanyahu said.
More than 700 Israelis have been confirmed dead, and at least 2,500 have been injured following the attacks orchestrated by the Palestinian Islamic terrorist organization, as The Daily Wire previously reported. That number is expected to rise as the fighting continues and as more information becomes available.
