The Kardashian-Jenner sisters have spoken out against hate and anti-semitic speeches, weeks after their former in-law, Kanye West, lashed out against Jewish people on his social media platforms.
Khloe Kardashian posted via her Instagram stories on Monday, “I support my Jewish friends and Jewish people.”
This message was likewise echoed by her step-sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner via their Instagram pages as well.
While refusing to mention his name, Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, also shared a message via her page.
“Hate speech is never okay or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end,” she said.
The Reality TV stars’ messages comes after an anti-Jewish demonstration took place on a Los Angels overpass on Saturday.
The demonstrators were pictured making a Nazi salute while displaying banners that read, “Honk if you know Kanye is right about the Jews.”
In one of the tweets that led to Twitter restricting his account two weeks ago, Kanye West wrote, “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up, I’ll go death con 3 on Jewish People.”
Kanye later clarified that he meant to say Defcon 3 in the tweet. Defence readiness condition (Defcon) is an alert system used by the US military, with five levels of readiness, with level one being the highest. Defcon level 3 refers to “Increase in force readiness above normal readiness.”
During an interview with Piers Morgan, West was asked if he regretted his “death con 3” tweet to which the rapper replied, “No. Absolutely not.”
Later in the interview, he however apologised for the fact that he had hurt people and caused “confusion”.
