'The goal of propaganda is to dehumanize. It works to dehumanize Israelis and works to dehumanize Gazans
'I like to think most of us are above propaganda. But this weekend reminded me how widespread it is. Because a lot of people reacted to this violence with justification, not empathy
'I guess it's not surprising but it's still heartbreaking. Propaganda is everywhere. It seeps into us over time. It seeks to block our empathy receptors. So when we see violence, we rationalize away our human response
'Killing innocent Palestinians is horrific. Killing innocent Israelis is horrific. If you don't feel the same I think you should ask yourself why that is.'

'Starting early morning more than 3,000 rockets were fire. Hamas is holding hostages, controlling bases and settlements in Israel. There have been more than 1,500 injured and heavy fighting is still ongoing. ‘I hear their voices and they are banging on the door. I am with my two little children. My heart is aching.'

Other penned comments like: 'Free Palestine'.
Roz Rothstein, co-founder and CEO of StandWithUs told TMZ while the group is pleased that Kylie shared their post, 'it's a shame that some people cannot express themselves honestly because of intense pressure and intimidation by Hamas sympathizers.'
American Jewish Committee spokesman Richard Hirschhaut also told the publication Kylie 'did the right thing and acted with her heart with her initial post and should be applauded for speaking up and speaking out.'
