Kim Kardashian issued a comprehensive statement on Wednesday, October 11, addressing the conflict in Israel, Palestine, and even Armenia.
She posted the following message on Instagram: “A message to my Jewish friends and family: I want you to know that I stand by you. I love you.”
She continued, “I understand the fear many of you are experiencing during these trying times, and I want you to know that you are not alone.”
The mother of four went on to say, “My heart aches as I witness the distressing videos of innocent families and children enduring terror and violence in full view of the world.”
“As compassionate human beings, how can anyone remain unaffected by these profoundly disturbing images that will forever haunt our collective consciousness?”
“Both Israeli and Palestinian civilians are enduring the devastating consequences of brutal terrorism, and it’s a tragedy that transcends borders and identities.”
“As an Armenian, these issues resonate deeply with me, given my long-standing advocacy for recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Today, Armenians are grappling with a grave humanitarian crisis in Artsakh, which has been underreported and undersupported for months.”
“In this moment, they are also facing an extreme humanitarian crisis, with prisoners of war remaining in captivity or missing.”
“No matter where you stand or how these recent events have affected you, our hearts must always have room for compassion and empathy toward the innocent victims ensnared in the midst of conflicts driven by power, politics, religion, race, and ethnicity.”
Kardashian continued, “While I understand that there is little I can do to alleviate the suffering of those in pain, my family and I are sending our prayers for the safe return of hostages, for those who have lost their lives, and for the families profoundly affected by this tragedy. We pray for peace for all the innocent souls, and for those responsible for this indefensible violence to be brought to justice.”
She added, “My call to action today is something that all of us can do: reach out to your friends, colleagues, and community members who are hurting, regardless of their stance on the matter. Check in on them and let them know that you care. In these challenging times, let’s avoid passing judgment on those who choose to express themselves or remain silent in the face of crises, as everyone copes in their own way, whether privately or publicly.”
“Prayers and wishes for peace always,” she concluded.
Kim isn’t the sole Kardashian/Jenner family member to comment on the Hamas attack.
Kylie Jenner, 26, shared a pro-Israel message on her Instagram Story on Saturday, October 7, but subsequently removed it.
