Kylie Jenner is facing online criticism for initially posting and subsequently deleting a photo on Instagram expressing her support for Israel following a Hamas attack that resulted in numerous casualties.
The socialite shared an image on her Instagram story featuring the Israeli flag alongside the words, “Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel!” However, in response to complaints and images of the Palestinian flag flooding her comments, she removed the post.
Her sudden reversal did not go unnoticed on social media, and many labeled the Kardashian star as a “coward.” Reports suggest that her actions led to a significant loss of Instagram followers, estimated to be around a million.
Critics have accused her of being afraid to show support for the victims of the ongoing conflict, including over 700 innocent individuals who lost their lives, along with dozens of hostages, including Americans, and thousands who have been injured. Chaya Raichik, the creator of Libs of TikTok, voiced these concerns.
