Reality TV contestant criticized for making ‘cruel’ remarks about Palestinian housemate's lack of cultural discussion.

Big Brother fans have come to the defense of Khaled after a fellow housemate made comments about him not talking enough about his Palestinian background. The incident sparked outrage among viewers, who branded the comments "evil."

During a task in tonight's episode, housemate Nathan was asked who he thought was holding back their true self. Nathan then pointed out Khaled, claiming that he spends too much time looking at the camera and not enough time discussing his opinions on current affairs, specifically regarding Israel and Lebanon.

Khaled, who is Lebanese and Palestinian, responded to Nathan's comments by stating that he does discuss his background, and had even mentioned before entering the house that he wanted to use the platform to share his experiences as someone with Middle Eastern heritage. He also stated that if he were to win the series, he would donate the money to Palestine and Lebanon.

Nathan's comments were met with backlash from viewers, with many calling them "insane" and "evil." Some viewers even accused Nathan of trying to police Khaled's own experiences and opinions.

Later in the episode, Khaled and Nathan had a discussion about the comments, with Khaled politely offering to educate Nathan on the issue further. However, Big Brother presenter Will Best also came under fire for "playing devil's advocate" and trying to defend Nathan's comments.

This incident comes after Big Brother received complaints over a pro-Palestine T-shirt worn by housemate Ali. The T-shirt, which showed a watermelon in the shape of disputed territories between Israel and Palestine, was edited out of the episode by ITV.

Despite the controversy, Khaled remains determined to use his time in the house to share his experiences and educate others on his background. Viewers continue to support him and hope that he will be able to use his platform to raise awareness for important issues.
