The controversy sparked by Kanye West’s anti-Semitic comments rose to the point that all mainstream media canceled him. While his long-time partners and collaborators cut ties with him, he received criticism from all around the world. Recently, his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and ex-sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian decided to side with the critics and share their support on social media.
Celebrities and public figures in the Los Angeles region started expressing their support for the Jewish community. They started share supporting messages on their social media profiles. Amongst these celebrities, we can find the whole ex-in-law family of Kanye West. Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian being the first ones to express their support.
Kim and Khloe Kardashian Supports The Jewish Community After Kanye West’s Anti-Semitic Remarks
Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian accompanied a big number of public figures that expressed their solidarity and their support for the Jewish community. This comes after Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband anti-Semitic comments to Jewish people.
Nevertheless, Khloe Kardashian joined her sister in showing support for the Jews by sharing an Instagram post where she expressed her support.
“I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people” – Khloe Kardashian wrote in the post.
The text that Khloe Kardashian shared is a screenshot of an original post that Jessica Seinfeld did on the 24th of October.
“If you don’t know what to say, then, you can just say this in your feed.” -Jessica Seinfeld wrote. “I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people.”
The posts about the controversy that Kanye West started are piling up as you read this article. Amongst the most popular people that have already taken part in this is the actress Reese Witherspoon.
“Anti-semitism in any form is deplorable. In person, or online. Doesn’t matter where. It’s hate and it’s unacceptable.” – Reese Witherspoon tweeted on Sunday. “Completely understand why my Jewish friends/colleagues are frightened for their families. This is a very scary time.”
Kanye West made anti-Semitic statements on several occasions during the last couple of weeks. He guested on several platforms where he was interviewed and besides speaking about his personal issues, he spoke about his position on the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement and about his views on the Jewish community.
While celebrities express their support, there are people that do quite the contrary. On the 23rd of October, a group of young people presented banners on top of the 405 Freeway overpass in Kanye West’s support.
“Kanye West is right about the Jews.” – the banner said. “Honk if you agree.” – they furthermore, asked for the support of the people.
This happens as a result of increasing the hatred directed at the Jewish people. The increase in hatred fueled by Kanye West’s words.
Maybe freedom of speech should have limits after all. Maybe Kanye West should be completely muted and not allowed to make any public statements until his mental health is on a satisfactory level.
