LOS ANGELES, Oct 10, (Agencies): On her 27th birthday, supermodel Bella Hadid found herself at the center of internet chatter, with many hailing her as the driving force behind a controversial Instagram post by beauty mogul Kylie Jenner, which was later deleted. While Bella Hadid, the older of the famous Hadid sisters, has been vocal about her support for Palestinians in the past, her friend Kylie has expressed different sentiments.

In the midst of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, some Hollywood stars have taken a stand in support of Israel, voicing their strong disapproval of the violence and terrorism in the region.

On October 9, as Bella Hadid celebrated her birthday, her supporters took to social media, particularly the X platform, to express their criticisms of Kylie Jenner. One social media user quipped, "I just know that Bella Hadid came with the facts and lit her a-- up in the group chat."

Another individual echoed similar sentiments, sharing a humorous video of a woman pushing a man to the ground with the caption, "Bella Hadid when she meets Kylie at the next Fashion Week."

A third user posted a scene from "The Hunger Games," where the character Katniss Everdeen takes down an unsuspecting Peeta Mellark, with the caption, "Bella Hadid coming for Kylie Jenner after seeing her story."

It's important to note that fans believe Bella may have played a role in Kylie's decision to delete the post, but neither party has confirmed this.

One person expressed their disappointment, suggesting that they would block Kylie's number if they were Bella Hadid. The upset social media user referred to Bella's father, Mohamed Hadid, who had shared his experiences of fleeing oppression during wartime. The user quoted Mohamed Hadid's statement about becoming refugees in Syria and losing their home in Safad, expressing their disbelief that Kylie, as Bella's friend, would take a pro-Israel stance.

"Bella Hadid, you will always have my love & support," one fan declared, while another wrote, "Happy birthday to the Libra woman, Bella Hadid," alongside a picture of her iconic outfit at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.

Criticism was also directed at Bella's friends for their romantic relationships with her ex-partners and their perceived lack of support for Palestine, which is Bella's homeland. One follower remarked, "Bella Hadid has the WORST friends in Hollywood. You’re telling me Kylie is pro-Israel, Simi is dating The Weeknd, and Haze is now dating Marc (Bella’s recent ex). All while battling a Lyme disease flare-up."

Amidst the controversy, other supporters wished Bella Hadid a happy birthday by sharing images of her advocating for Palestinian rights, along with heartwarming messages. The outpouring of love included sentiments like, "Happy birthday, Palestinian princess, Bella Hadid," and "Happy birthday to the sweetest angel, Bella Hadid. I hope she’s surrounded by love and kindness today."

Additional well-wishes read, "Happy birthday to our favorite Libra, Bella Hadid!" Another X user shared playful pictures of Bella with her friends, captioning the heartwarming images with, "The people’s princess, princess of Nazareth, the princess of slaying the streets. Yes, that’s her: Bella Hadid."

The online controversy ignited when Hamas launched an invasion of Israel, resulting in numerous casualties, including 900 deaths. In the aftermath of the tragic events, several celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, expressed their support for Israel. Kylie posted an Instagram Story that featured Israel's flag and the message: "Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel. Share if you stand with the people of Israel as they face one of the most frightening situations in many years."

However, Kylie's show of sympathy for Israel faced backlash from many of her followers, who flooded her social media with Palestinian flags and critical comments, urging others to unfollow the "Life of Kylie" star.
