In an Instagram story shared Monday, Kim Kardashian wrote that hate speech is “never okay” or “excusable”.
“I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and demand an immediate end to the horrific violence and hate speech against them.”
Hate speech is never okay or justifiable. I stand with the Jewish community and call for an immediate end to the horrific violence and hate speech towards them.

Earlier today, several members of Kim’s family – including her mother Kris Jenner and sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner – shared statements of support for the Jewish people.
The ‘Kardashians’ star’s tweet comes more than two weeks after Kanye West, known as Ye, was widely condemned after he posted a tweet that was deleted by Twitter saying he would attack Jews.
A Twitter spokesperson confirmed to NBC News on October 9 that Kanye West’s account was locked for violating its policies.
A spokesperson for parent company Meta said that Instagram deleted a post from West’s page and restricted his account after some groups posted a separate message that he described as “anti-Semitic”.
Kim Kardashian’s sister, Khloe Kardashian, went against West’s comments on October 24 and reposted a post that went viral on her Instagram Stories. The message included the phrase “I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people.”
Celebrities outside the Kardashian family also criticized Kanye for his words.
In an interview with TODAY’s Hoda Kotb earlier this month, “Halloween Ends” star Jamie Lee Curtis said she cried when she read the rapper’s tweet.
Parents of 4 children, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, divorced earlier this year after 8 years of marriage.
