Monday, the Iraqi-American Beauty mega-mogul, known for her makeup artistry, beauty blogs, and high-end cosmetics line, 'Huda Beauty,' took to Instagram to express her solidarity with Palestine in light of the ongoing Israeli Occupation brutality.

"As you guys know, there have been some very unjust things going on in Palestine right now," said Huda.

She spoke about the Israeli Occupation settlers who are forcibly removing Palestinians out of their homes.

This happens "a lot, quite frankly, and this is not the first time," she added.

Through her social media post, Huda hoped to make the crisis that Palestinians suffer from more relatable to those living in other corners of the world.

She said that she simply could not comprehend or even imagine another party coming into her home that she built and telling her she has to leave.

However, according to Huda, the most disheartening aspect is the censorship witnessed on social media to those attempting to shed light on the violent crisis in Palestine.

She said that some posts raising awareness were also completely deleted by these social media platforms.

"It's really disappointing because a lot of these platforms have actually outwardly said 'we are going to allow fake news,' but they won't allow us to post our protests."

The mogul expressed her irritation, noting that social media is - or was - a gift that provides equal opportunity to spread news.

"It depends on which side you are fighting for," she said, noting that being on the 'wrong side' will get your posts hidden, deleted or censored.

She called the censorship propaganda, and part of a agenda.

Prior to uploading the video, Huda said she received several messages from her friends telling her not to post it in fear of being 'cancelled' or blacklisted from the online community, which could directly affect her business and family. 

Obviously, she didn't pay the naysayers much mind.
