Caitlyn Jenner has recently shared a letter on social media signed by a group of pro-Israel Jewish students at Columbia University who support “Zionism.”

The reality star attached a link to the letter on X, writing, “Read this extremely powerful letter published by Jewish Students @Columbia robbed of their graduation, let alone safety and protection on campus by terrorists.”

Her post arrives during continued student protests across several universities – including Columbia – against the “genocide” in Gaza. 

Israel has killed almost 35,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 others since the October 7 Hamas attack resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis.

Jenner has expressed her pro-Israel stance on social media on multiple occasions. Last week, the star posted a screenshot of a TMZ headline, titled, “Caitlyn Jenner says ‘deport’ Pro-Palestine LGBT Protesters to Iran or Gaza.”

The media personality captioned the post, “If you love the terrorist govt in Gaza so much-Hamas-go! Get the hell out of America and enjoy. Oh wait…they outlaw your existence and kill you there. Bye bye,” prompting a barrage of backlash.

One user commented, “SHAME ON YOU! Not wanting innocent children to continue to be murdered is not enacting terrorism! FREE PALESTINE.”
