Kim Kardashian and her views on the Israel-Palestine war
The Gaza Strip is war-ridden. Israel-Palestine battle began a few days back and celebrities are expressing their opinions on it.
How could the Kardashian sisters with their Armenian roots be left behind? Kim Kardashian also wrote a lengthy message on her Instagram for her friends and family who are Jewish. She extended her virtual support to them. Kim, 42 wrote:
“I have heard about how scared you feel during this time. And I want you to know you are not alone in this,”
“My heart is breaking seeing the videos of these babies and families being terrorized and murdered in front of the whole world!”
She added that she is not in favor of brutal terrorism that is ongoing in that area. She feels for the innumerable innocent lives that have been lost until now. Further, Kim penned:
“As an Armenian, I am particularly sensitive to these issues because I have been talking about the Armenian Genocide for years.”
Kim continued to say that Armenians have suffered and have been victims of ethnic cleansing. They are captives or missing and the situation is one of extreme humanitarian crisis.
The response of the internet
Not all agreed with Kim’s views. The post did go viral and the SKIMS founder was backlashed for it. Kim had put off the comments for this post. However several people responded to her post independently and posted it on their Twitter handle. One Instagram user wrote:
“A message just to your Jewish friends? Smh, what about the Muslim and Christian Palestinians who’ve been facing genocide?”
While another commented:
“Girl if you so sensitive about it DO YOUR RESEARCH,”
A third expressed:
“What you wrote about Armenians could have literally been said about the Palestinians. Shocked that you chose to double down on the dehumanization of Palestinians to ignore our long-standing2 suffering.”
Another one wrote:
“kim kardashian says she’s sensitive to those affected by ethnic cleansing and genocide but ultimately siding with israel… brain dead”
Another person tweeted:
“Being an Armenian and not recognizing the same genocide Palestinians have been living through the past 70 years is just shameful, ignorant and embarrassing.”
And another tweet read:
“girl you’re embarrassing af. you’re Armenian—Palestinians are in the middle of a literal ongoing GENOCIDE,”
Kylie Jenner supported Israel too
Kim’s younger sister, Kylie Jenner also supported Israel a few days back. Hamas rebels had attacked the Israeli area at that time. Kylie, 26 expressed her solidarity for Israel.
Her fans were upset with her views and her subscriber count dropped from 400 million to 399 million soon after.
Kylie too faced criticism for this post which she deleted soon after. One fan wrote:
“Kylie Jenner, Ashley Tisdale, Sofia Richie and Nina Dobrev have ALL came out in support of Israel, the country that is KILLING innocent. Palestinian citizens and children to steal their land. LET IT BE KNOWN they are LITERALLY SUPPORTING the GENOCIDE of the people of Palestine.”
Another fan commented:
“Kylie Jenner reportedly has deleted an Instagram story showing support for Israel… Why do celebs act dumb and spineless…”
