Kylie Jenner is facing a lot of backlash because of an Instagram story she posted a while ago to show her support for the people of Israel. In the aftermath of the recent deadly attacks caused by Hamas on Israel, the actress posted an Instagram story. She posted a picture of Israel's flag with a caption that said, "Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel!" However, Kylie immediately removed the post after facing criticism from individuals advocating for Palestine and Hamas.


Screenshots of Kylie's deleted Instagram story have been spreading across various social media platforms. Her comments section has been bombarded with mean remarks. Many citizens have been criticizing the actress for supporting Israel, while another section is calling her spineless for deleting the story.


A user commented, “Kylie Jenner reportedly has deleted an Instagram story showing support for Israel.. why do celebs act dumb and spineless… #Israel #Palestine #hamas #Israel_under_attack #IsraelPalestineWar #IStandWithIsrael #IndiaStandWithIsrael #IndiaWithIsrael”.  "Kylie Jenner supporting Israel when her friend Bella Hadid is Palestinian is crazy," reads one comment.


Apart from Kylie, Mia Khalifa also shared a post. The actress showed her support to Palstine but received a lot of backlash. She then reacted to the hate and wrote in her tweet, “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 also came forward in support of Israel and 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 n let live”

The queen of controversy Kangana Ranaut while sharing a post wrote, “'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'.”

Swara Bhaskar also came forward to advocate for Palestinians. The actress wrote, "If you have not felt shock and horror at Israel's unending atrocities on Palestinians, the forcible occupation of Palestinian homes, the forced evictions, the bigotry and violence of settler Israelis, the murder of Palestinian children and teenagers, the decades-long blockade and bombing of Gaza and civilians in Gaza, including bombing of schools and hospitals (not to mention the apartheid and occupation), then I'm afraid your shock and horror at Hamas' attacks on Israel seem a bit hypocritical."
