Kim Kardashian Breaks Her Silence On Israel: 'My Heart Is Broken'

Reality star Kim Kardashian is finally breaking her silence on the situation in Israel.

Although she had previously posted a brief statement to her Instagram Stories to address the crisis overseas, the mom-of-four finally took to Instagram on Wednesday night in order to share a lengthy statement that summed up her thoughts on the Hamas attack on Israel.

On Wednesday, October 11, the SKIMS founder took to Instagram to address the crisis situation unfolding overseas. Many celebrities have spoken out about the issue online and have faced backlash for their views, while others have remained silent. On Wednesday, Kim decided to speak out and let fans know exactly where she stands as the death toll continues to rise.

"A message to my Jewish friends and family. I love you. I support you," she began. "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 broken seeing the videos of these babies and families being terrorized and murdered in front of the whole world! As human beings with a heart, how can anyone not be devastated by these horrific images that we will never be able to unsee? Brutal terrorism has taken innocent lives and now both Israeli and Palestinian civilians are suffering and paying the greatest price there is."

"As an Armenian, I am particularly sensitive to these issues because I have been talking about the Armenian Genocide for years, and now, after months of blockade with minimal media coverage and no external support, Armenians are the victims of an ethnic cleansing themselves in Artsakh," she continued. "They are in this moment also suffering from an extreme humanitarian crisis, and there are still prisoners of war being held captive or missing."

Kim continued to ask her followers to have compassion for the victims of this crisis. "No matter who's side you are on, or how you have been triggered by the horrors of these past few days, our hearts should always have room for compassion towards innocent victims caught in the cross hairs of warring over power, politics, religion, race, and ethnicity," she wrote.

"Although I know there is nothing, I can do to personally get rid of the pain of those who are suffering, my family and I are praying for the safe return of hostages, for those that have died and their affected families, for peace for all the innocent, and for the perpetrators of this indefensible violence to be brought to justice," she added.

"My call to action today, something that we can all do, is simply to reach out to your friends, colleagues, and those in your community, those who are hurting, no matter what side they are on, check in on them and tell them you love them. I also ask that, during difficult times like these, not to judge who is or isn't speaking out, because everyone should be allowed to deal with times of crisis in the way that they feel most comfortable, whether it be privately or publicly," she concluded, wrapping up her post with the words, "Prayers and Peace always."

Comments on the Instagram post were disabled, but within thirty minutes, the post had received over 150,000 likes. Although it looks like comments on her Instagram post were disabled, it looks like her statement did not sit well with users on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Kim Kardashian doesn’t care about Israel or Palestine. She made this all about herself,” one user commented.

“So... If I understand well miss Kim Kardashian... You denounce Armenian ethnic cleansing, but you support the people who perpetuate it in Palestine? Is there a f---ing logic in it?” another netizen asked. “Somebody please tell Kim Kardashian that Israel funds the genocide in Armenia that she speaks of,” another user chimed in.

It remains to be seen if Kim Kardashian will have more to say about this crisis as it unfolds.
