Huda Kattan under fire for spreading anti-Israel conspiracy theories, TikTok takes down her ‘vile' video
TikTok has removed a contentious anti-Israel video that was posted by influencer and famous beauty mogul Huda Kattan. Huda Kattan's controversial TikTok video alleging Israel's involvement in historical atrocities was removed for violating community guidelines. (AP) In a video shared with her over 11 million TikTok followers, Kattan, the creator and spokesperson for the billion-dollar company Huda Beauty, accused Israel of masterminding the September 11 terrorist attacks, World War I, World War II, and the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. Notably, both World Wars I (1914–1918) and II (1939–1945) took place prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. 'All of the conspiracy theories coming out and a lot of evidence behind them — that Israel has been behind World War I, World War II, September 11, October 7 — they allowed all of this stuff to happen. Is this crazy?' Kattan stated on camera. 'Like, I had a feeling — I was like, 'Are they behind every world war?' Yes.' Also Read: Stephen A. Smith claps back at Michelle Obama's 'offensive' ESPN remarks, gives her sharp lesson on reality TV, voting Titok reacts to Huda Kattan's video Speaking to CNN, TikTok spokesman confirmed that they pulled Kattan's video for breaking its community rules, a spokesman confirmed to CNN. 'In a global community, it is natural for people to have different opinions, but we seek to operate on a shared set of facts and reality,' as per TikTok community rules. 'We do not allow misinformation that may cause significant harm to individuals or society, regardless of intent.' Huda Kattan's video sparks calls to boycott Huda Beauty products The video has sparked calls on social media and among Jewish communities for Sephora and other retailers to sever the association with Kattan's well-known cosmetics business, Huda cosmetics, which Forbes estimates generates about $200 million in sales annually and was valued at $1.2 billion in 2017. Kattan has previously been the target of boycott calls over her anti-Israel remarks after Hamas October 7 attack. She has been a vocal opponent of Israel and a strong advocate for Palestinians in Gaza. Anti-Defamation League slams Huda Kattan The latest TikTok video that Kattan posted sparked immediate criticism from Jewish organizations. 'Huda Kattan built a brand around beauty — but these antisemitic conspiracy theories are nothing short of ugly hate,' Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League. 'Spreading vile myths about Jews to millions of followers isn't just reckless — it's dangerous.' The American Jewish Committee shared her video, saying that she 'is using her massive platform to spread vile antisemitic conspiracy theories.' 'This isn't 'criticism of Israel.' It's centuries-old hate, repackaged and broadcast to millions,' the Committee added. Kattan appeared in Forbes's 2023 and 2024 lists of America's Richest Self-Made Women and Most Powerful Women in Business, respectively.

$50K Bonus, Student Loan Relief: ICE Hiring Drive Fuels Trump's Crackdown On Illegals
Last Updated: The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has begun a new recruitment campaign to enforce Trump's aggressive plans to deport illegal immigrants. US federal officials have launched a massive recruitment campaign to hire more than 14,000 immigration agents, attorneys and workers to enforce President Donald Trump's plans to deport a million illegal immigrants annually from the United States. Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown has received fresh funding after the Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law, and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has begun a new recruitment campaign to help boost the deportation of illegal immigrants from the country, offering significant benefits to people for signing up. 'America needs you," read one of the ICE recruitment posters that features a finger-pointing Uncle Sam, much like the World War I recruitment posters. 'America has been invaded by criminals and predators. We need YOU to get them out." People are not required to have an undergraduate degree to join the latest ICE drive to deport illegals. In exchange for joining Trump's immigration crackdown, recruits could receive a $50,000 bonus, up to $60,000 in student loan forgiveness, and a 25% premium pay incentive. USA Today reported. However, the dramatic expansion of ICE operations has upset communities in several parts of the country and raised concerns over the tactics ICE agents have used to catch alleged illegal immigrants. Trump's 'heavy-handed" approach to illegal immigration has sparked controversy, with naturalised US citizens being swept up in the crackdown. Local Sheriffs Worried According to the report by USA Today, the recruitment efforts have also angered local sheriffs, who are worried that deputies in already understaffed offices will be lured away by the big bonuses and higher pay. 'It is tone deaf and reflects a total lack of judgment and character on their part," said Jonathan Thompson, the executive director and CEO of the National Sheriff's Association. 'This is either galactically stupid or purposefully malicious." However, federal officials have promised to further flood Democrat-run cities with deportation officers in response to a lack of cooperation in Trump's aggressive approach to curbing undocumented immigration. The Department of Homeland Security has already begun hiring for the new jobs. Meanwhile, White House officials have warned that there had been an 830% increase in assaults against ICE agents through July 14, compared with the same period last year, and the recruiting materials say applicants 'should expect a certain level of risk," but that they will be trained to take 'every precaution" in remaining safe.

Trump Spotted Selling Kulfi In Pakistan? The Truth Behind The Viral Video
A kulfi seller from Pakistan who resembles Donald Trump has gone viral for his unique style and look. US President Donald Trump has recently made headlines for claiming that America and Pakistan are working together to develop a 'huge oil reserve." Upset over India's ties with Russia, he even said that the two countries might join forces to sell oil to India. While Trump was making these bold political claims, a different 'Trump" was going viral in Pakistan—this one selling kulfi, not oil. Who Is Pakistan's 'Trump'? Saleem Bagga, a kulfi and kheer vendor from Sahiwal in Punjab, Pakistan. What makes him an internet sensation isn't just his delicious desserts but his striking resemblance to Donald Trump. From his golden hair to his mannerisms, Saleem has earned the nickname 'Pakistan's Trump." But there's a deeper story behind his look. Saleem lives with albinism, a genetic condition that affects the skin and hair, giving him his signature pale appearance and light hair—features that unintentionally make him look like the US President. More Than Just a Look-Alike Some people call him 'Pakistan's Donald Trump," while others admire his unique way of engaging customers. Saleem's videos have gone viral on social media, and he admits he never expected such fame. 'I was just selling kulfi," he says, 'but people really liked what I do." Saleem Bagga doesn't just serve kulfi—he sings while doing it. In one YouTube video, he shares that he has loved singing religious songs and popular tunes since childhood. Whether it's women, kids, or the elderly, his musical kulfi-selling style attracts everyone. Trump after realising there was no oil in Pakistan..😂 — Cabinet Minister, Ministry of Memes,🇮🇳 (@memenist_) August 1, 2025 He's a huge fan of Pakistani singing legend Noor Jehan, and he dreams of performing with her if given the chance. He also admires singer Sahir Ali Bagga. Family Man With A Sense of Humour Saleem is married and has children, but with a cheeky smile, he jokes, 'If a good offer comes along, I might consider a second marriage." Trump Look-Alikes Are A Trend Interestingly, Saleem isn't the only famous Trump look-alike. Mike Osman, a British comedian, rose to fame in 2016 for his perfect impersonation of Trump. At one point, Osman thought of dropping the act, but Trump's election victory turned his fortunes around. He now calls himself the UK's No. 1 Trump impersonator, with over 16 million views on TikTok. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
