Kim Kardashian finally spoke out against the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict as she thought about her Armenian roots and the suffering of her ancestors.
The 42-year-old reality star expressed her support for her “Jewish friends and family” in a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday.
“I am aware of the fear you are experiencing at this time. The mother of four continued, “And I want you to know you are not alone in this. “Watching the videos of these babies and families being terrorised and killed in front of the entire world is breaking my heart,” a viewer exclaimed.
As an Armenian, she claimed in her remarks that she is “particularly sensitive to these issues because I have been talking about the Armenian Genocide for years.”
She stated that “Armenians are the victims of an ethical cleansing themselves in Artsakh after months of blockade with little media coverage and no external support.”
“They are currently experiencing an extreme humanitarian crisis, and there are still prisoners of war who are being held captive or who are missing,” she stated.
The internet criticised Kardashian for not knowing enough about the subject to comment, though. While the IG comments on the posts were disabled, individuals commented on other people’s posts and on Twitter as well.
One for your Jewish pals only? What about the Palestinian Muslims and Christians who have been subjected to genocide, smh? one was posted on IG.
Another person said, “Girl, if you’re so sensitive about it, DO YOUR RESEARCH.”
“Everything you wrote about Armenians could have been said about Palestinians in its entirety. I’m shocked that you choose to intensify the dehumanisation of Palestinians while ignoring their ongoing misery.
“Kim Kardashian says she’s sensitive to those affected by ethnic cleansing and genocide but ultimately siding with israel… brain dead,” another person remarked.
Someone please tell Kim Kardashian that Israel is causing the second Armenian genocide by providing 70% of Azerbaijan’s weapons.
