LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kylie Jenner is receiving immense internet flak for posting a pro-Israel message on her Instagram story on Saturday, October 7, 2023.
On the day of the Hamas' attack on Israel, Kylie shared a pro-Israel message that made the internet turn against 'The Kardashians' star.
However, minutes after posting the Story, the ‘Kylie Cosmetics’ founder deleted the post. It nevertheless, gained traction on the internet with the netizens slamming Kylie for her post.
While a section of the internet accused her of just joining the trend, many others speculated that “she doesn’t have a clue.”
Some even propagated the idea that it was probably her team’s idea to have her delete the post. Many fans even speculated that the post was an act of "performative activism," where an influencer engages in activism to gain social media traction rather than their allegiance to the cause.
Kylie posted a screenshot of a @standwithus post where a message read, "Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel."

"Too late we all saw that," said one of the social media users.
Another commented, "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…"
Another social media user commented, "It's very obvious she doesn't even know what's happening. She. Just wants to join the trend."
"I honestly think it was a paid partnership. i dont see kylie posting that for free," said another netizen.
Another fan quipped on social media, "Her team mostly told her to delete it."
"I guess she's even doesn't know where Israel located on the map," trolled another fan.
Another fan slammed Kylie by saying, "Only for clicks and not knowing history in celeb world."
Another fan castigated the mother-of-two and said, "I know for a fact that she doesnt have a clue. But how tho? How tightly closed is she inside her bubble? It must be such a superficial life. No deep conversations, no knowledge whatsoever besides fashion, social media and fame."
"That whole family is out of touch w reality. They have no idea about anything outside the pearly white gates of Calabasic," said someone else.
"Watching the chronically online tie themselves in knots because Kylie and Kris Jenner expressed support for Israel. Do yall really expect these influencers to actually understand the nuances of a century old conflict?" asked another.
