Jamie Lee Curtis stands with Israel for all the wrong reasons

American actress and film producer, Jamie Lee Curtis sparked controversy and anger on the internet after taking to her official Instagram account in support of Israel with a photo of Palestinian children. 

Jamie posted a picture of concerned Palestinian children seeking refuge with their families in the Northern Gaza Strip and a UNRWA school that was bombed yesterday Oct. 9, 2023.

The photo’s caption said “TERROR FROM THE SKIES” with the addition of the Israeli flag emoji despite the picture showing Palestinian children concerned by the rockets caused by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Al-Aqsa Flooding.

This made users poke fun at the celebrity calling her out of touch and a person who posts trending issues just to stay relevant without knowing what’s happening.
