Kim Kardashian spoke out against ex-husband Kanye West's antisemitism on Monday in an Instagram story.
"Hate speech is never OK or excusable," she wrote. "I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end."
Kardashian's comments were joined by a series of other celebrities such as Amy Schumer and Gigi Hadid who spoke out against Kanye West who has made a series of antisemitic statements over the last few weeks.
"I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people," wrote Amy Schumer in an Instagram post on Sunday. "Do you know what the Jewish people are afraid [antisemitism] will lead to?
Model Gigi Hadid shared comedian Amy Schumer's post, calling for support for the Jewish people in the wake of rising antisemitism.
However, some, such as the NGO StopAntisemitism, had difficulty taking Hadid's support against antisemitism seriously.
"No Gigi Hadid, you most certainly do not support your Jewish friends," said StopAntisemitism, accusing Hadid of denying "the Jewish right to self-determination," propagating "lies and hatred against the Jewish nation" and magnifying "antisemitic voices to the millions that follow you."
No Gigi Hadid, you most certainly do NOT support your Jewish friends.
