'Put the blame where it belongs': Megyn Kelly slams Angelina Jolie after actress critiques Israel for 'deliberately bombing' Gaza
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former Fox News and NBC star Megyn Kelly lashed out at Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie for unfairly attacking Israel and claiming that the country “deliberately bombed” civilian havens in Gaza.
The 52-year-old took to her podcast to call out Jolie’s "one-sided" post about the Israel-Hamas war.
Kelly opined that the actress was in the wrong, having only sought help for the people in Gaza and turning a blind eye to Hamas’ actions.

Megyn Kelly slams Angelina Jolie’s post for ceasefire in Gaza
The veteran journalist discussed a recent New York Times article that claims that Hamas is disguising its own people as civilians and getting them out of Gaza with the help of aid arriving from Israel and the West.
While mentioning the article, Kelly said, “I was glad to see a piece in New York Times on November 3 that one of the reasons they can’t get people out of Gaza, the humanitarian exit of dual US citizens, Israeli passport holders are because Hamas keeps trying to put its wounded soldiers on the “innocent” injured Palestinian list.”
She claimed, “Israel and international authorities are checking these lists before they let these people leave and they keep trying to put their [Hamas] terrorist on the list and Israel keeps checking the list with enough intel.”
Kelly then mocked Jolie’s stance on Gaza and questioned that the Hollywood star doesn’t talk or tweet about this.
After informing her viewers about the New York Times piece, Kelly remarked, “You don’t hear Angelina Jolie tweeting about that. She’s only talking about how we’re bombing innocent civilians without any care for life, there needs to be a ceasefire, collective punishment.”
She told Jolie to not just blame one side in the war. Kelly added, “Why don’t you put the blame where it belongs because she’s wrapped up? She’s a UN person in all the same stuff.”
Internet backs Megyn Kelly in mocking Angelina Jolie for anti-Israel stance
Some users on YouTube backed Kelly and slammed Jolie for accusing Israel of war crimes.
One wrote, “Since when does anybody care what a celebrity thinks? They're not soldiers or politicians.”
“Even her father Jon Voight said Angelina is wrong,” said another user.
One stated, “Thanks for calling AJ out - just another hypocrite...”
An angry user said, “Just because she's a celebrity doesn't mean she knows everything. She should get her facts straight before opening her mouth.”
Another said, “Someone needs to remind Ms. Jolie that there was peace before 10/7 and Hamas shattered it.”
