Beauty Huda Founder Huda Kattan Addressed his controversial remarks about Israeli-Palestine’s ongoing conflicts.
“It’s no secret that I’ve been talking out about Palestine for some time, and that happened to learn about the Palestinian cause, feeling very frustrated to see so much injustice happening to the people of Palestine,” said Kattan, 41, in Friday, August 8, a video shared by video by video shared through Tiktok. “Things I don’t see how they can be justified. As things increase and the more I learned, I’ve always tried to use my voice.”
Kattan explained that, as an influencer, she believed that She has “responsibility” Talking out “on behalf of anything (she thinks) is wrong.”
“I’m so tired of seeing children starving, people abusing, living in tents and being bombed while living in tents while they just try to survive the already entertaining and living conditions they live in,” said the beauty blogger. “To calm you out, to silence me, they always do what they do. They turn your words, label you antisemite and, right now, I’m proving it all.”
Kattan has shared her support for Palestine in a number of social media videos earlier this summer. In one Tiktok video posted in July, he mistakenly claimed that Israel was responsible for World War II, World War II, September 11 terrorist attacks and Hamas’s attack on Israel in October 2024.
As a result, many social media users encouraged Sephora to stop stocking Kattan beauty products because of her alleged antisemitic beliefs. (The make -up shop specified in a statement he is currently investigating the situation and does not support any hatred.)
“I would never condone any hatred of any kind,” he said on Friday, denying the allegations. “That, of course, includes Jewish hatred. The fact that I have to say that that is so strange to me because it’s so obvious.”
Kattan further said that his video that has since been erased had expressed “critical views of Israel” but nothing in terms of Jewish faith or “demanding” anything about them.
“I would never talk about any people because I stand against hatred and discrimination,” he said. “The video was completely misinterpreted and misused. Words were put in my mouth (that) I never mentioned in the video. The video is no longer.
He added, “The words were so badly spoken until the narrative came out, I was so disappointed in it, that I wasn’t basically recognizing the Holocaust, or I was basically saying that Jews had created the Holocaust. (It was) so strange even to even say. Why I would even make sense.”
According to Kattan, learning about the Holocaust at school had so much affected her Promised to talk out in any similar situations going forward.
“I feel enforcement as a human being to speak out over other humans,” said Kattan. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I also don’t think it’s fair that you can’t criticize the actions of Israel without being wronged. Failure to criticize Israel’s actions not only creates antisemitism, but I would argue that it is a kind of anticemark itself.”
