Actress Jamie Lee Curtis is facing backlash for posting a picture of Palestinians and mistakenly claiming that they were Israelis. The photo depicts Palestinian children escaping from bombs after Israel declared a state of war in response to Hamas’s recent attack. It was originally taken by Gaza-based photojournalist Samar Abu Elouf. “Just to clarify, this picture is from Gaza. The children looking up at the rockets are Palestinian,” an Instagram user commented. Following online backlash, the ‘Halloween’ actress deleted the post. The mistake comes shortly after reality star Kylie Jenner deleted a post supporting Israel due to online backlash.
