Kim Kardashian is under fire for posting two Twitter messages about the escalating conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
Early Friday, Kardashian tweeted, “Praying for everyone in Israel.”
After a wave of backlash, the reality star wrote, “And praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world!”
When the criticism continued, Kardashian deleted both messages.
A short time later, Kardashian took to her blog to offer an apology and explanation:
“I want to own up to and explain that earlier today I sent out two tweets about saying prayers for the people in Palestine and Israel and after hearing from my followers, I decided to take down the tweets because I realized that some people were offended and hurt by what I said, and for that I apologize.”
“I should have pointed out my intentions behind these tweets when I posted them. The fact is that regardless of religion and political beliefs, there are countless innocent people involved who didnt choose this, and I pray for all of them and also for a resolution.”
“I also pray for all the other people around the world who are caught in similar crossfires.”
