Kylie Jenner has been on the receiving end of backlash after she reposted a controversial post to her social media.
The 26-year-old, who boasts a whopping 400 million followers on Instagram, sparked a debate online after she took to her Instagram Stories to repost a solidarity message in favor of Israel.
The post in question, which was originally posted by the account @standwithus, included the flag of Israel a caption that read: "Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel."
While fans couldn't respond to Jenner's post directly on IG, they took to Twitter, better known now as X, to slam the beauty mogul for reposting such a "divisive" message.
And let's just say they were not holding back.
"Kylie Jenner wouldn’t know where the Middle East is on a map but is letting her 400 million Instagram followers know she stands with Israel. I fear the silicone has leaked into her brain!!" one user wrote.
"Why people are so shocked to see Kylie Jenner supporting Israel? I mean do you really expect something good from her like seriously bruh," another added.
A third also slammed her, writing: "Kylie Jenner reaction after realising she posted 'I SUPPORT ISRAEL' story assuming it new IG trend. Even without understanding the conflict dumbo prefer to stand in wrong side as usual."
Not only that, but some pointed out that the influencer was close friends with the Hadid sisters, Bella and Gigi, who are notoriously known for supporting the Palestinian cause against Zionism.
"Absolutely crazy to see Kylie Jenner supporting Israel while her friend Bella Hadid has been advocating for Palestine for YEARS like I'd be sick to my stomach," this user tweeted.
In response to the overwhelming amount of backlash, Jenner ended up removing the post as if it didn't happen. But one thing's for sure - the internet always remembers.
A new debate was ignited after the post was removed, with many speculating whether it was Jenner or members of her team that decided to delete it to save her reputation.
After the popular news accounts Pop Base and Daily Loud posted that the reality TV star had now deleted her post, others chimed into the conversation.
"Girl, if that’s what you support. Then stand by it. Or was it just more performative activism? Don’t double back now that you’re getting backlash. Smh," wrote one user while another added: "She never speaks up about such things and decided to share that. Too late Kylie, we’ve seen it."
The news comes after it was reported that Hamas launched a series of attacks on outside of the Gaza Strip on Saturday, in the biggest escalation in the region in decades as per the BBC.
Israel launched devastating "retaliatory strikes" in the area after the Prime Minister of Israel said that the country is now at war with Hamas and vowing to inflict an "unprecedented price.
As per reports by Palestinian officials, Israeli air strikes have killed at least 313 people in the Gaza Strip, with almost 2,000 wounded.
In Israel, 300 civilians have also been killed, and dozens of Israeli milliant officers, who have been accused of war crimes, have been taken hostage.
