Kylie Jenner regrets naming son ‘Wolf’
Kylie Jenner found herself in hot water on Sunday after sharing a pro-Israel post with her 400 million Instagram followers.
The post from StandWithUs showed support for Israel after Hamas launched an attack that killed hundreds.
It featured a picture of the Israeli flag with the caption, “Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel!”.
Now that the Story has been deleted, Roz Rothstein, co-founder and CEO of StandWithUs, has spoken out in defense of the Kardashians star.
She told TMZ: “It’s a shame that some people cannot express themselves honestly because of intense pressure and intimidation by Hamas sympathisers.”

The American Jewish Committee has also defended the mom-of-two, who they said should be “applauded” for using her platform to speak out on the subject.
AJC spokesman Richard Hirschhaut told the outlet that the reality TV star “did the right thing and acted with her heart with her initial post” and she “should be applauded for speaking up and speaking out.”
He said the Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum instead became “a subject of vicious and ugly scorn”.
The spokesman then highlighted “the power of social media and the power of celebrity is desperately needed at this moment when Israel is at war and under attack by a terrorist organization that is barbaric, inhumane and immoral.”
The AJC is urging “influencers across the spectrum to demonstrate moral courage and amplify moral clarity by supporting Israel’s high moral ground.”

Critics of the Hulu star took to social media, blasting her for “getting involved in politics” and accusing her of siding with zionists.
One Instagram user wrote: “Don’t get involved in politics and say that you support Israel. Palestine has been suffering for ages.”
Another commented: “Are you even human if you are with zionists”, while others simply responded with the Palestine flag emoji.
There was also criticism on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a third joking: “Someone ask Kylie Jenner to point to Israel on the map”.
“It’s actually way worse that Kylie Jenner just deleted the Israel post,” was also said.
“It shows a lack of knowledge and care, she just posted it to be talked about.”
