In an Instagram Story on Saturday, Jenner said after the Hamas attack on Israel a contribution of the account “StandWithUs”. “Now and forever we stand with the people of Israel,” says one graphic, which uses a photo of the Israeli flag as a background.
“Lack of knowledge and care”
According to Page Six, Jenner received so much backlash after sharing the post that she was apparently forced to remove her post from her page. She didn’t give a direct reason for her action, but pictures with Palestinian flags are said to have piled up in the comments section. In addition, users are said to have asked people to stop following the entrepreneur on Instagram.
After the post was deleted, the discussion was said to have continued on X and Instagram. “Kylie Jenner has no idea what’s going on between Israel and Palestine,” wrote For example, one user added: “Right now, celebrities should only condemn the war crimes that are happening on both sides.”
Another person commented at X: “It’s actually much worse that Kylie Jenner just deleted the Israel post. That shows a lack of knowledge and care, she just posted it to get people talking about it.” A user also added: “The fact that Kylie Jenner supports Israel while her friend Bella Hadid is Palestinian is crazy.” The model Bella Hadid (27) is the daughter of a Jordanian-American real estate dealer of Palestinian descent.
