Kim Kardashian was urged to delete her tweet in support for Israel
after receiving anti-Semitic tweets from dozens of her followers.

After Hamas launched strikes on Israel, Kardashian wrote `praying for
everyone in Israel’, Hollywood Reporter said.

After receiving numerous critical statements and even those containing
threats, Kim wrote: `praying for everyone in Palestine and across the
world.’

Later on her blog she posted a statement reading:

`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.’
