Khloe took to Instagram on October 23 to share a statement showing her support for Jews who have received hateful comments from the West and conspiracy groups in recent weeks. The post, which was cut from Jessica Seinfeld’s page, read, “I support my Jewish friends and Jewish people.”
While Khloe didn’t specifically condemn West, her message rebroadcasting Seinfeld shows that she strongly opposes his online rants about Jews and the additional hate it has caused the Jewish community.

West had previously posted on Twitter, “I’m a little sleepy tonight, but when I wake up, I’m gonna die con 3 to the JEWS.” In the post, the rapper also claimed that they had been “playing” with him and ” try to blackmail anyone” who opposes their agenda.
West has since been suspended from Twitter for violating their code of conduct. He was previously suspended by Instagram’s parent company, Meta, for also breaking their rules.

Seinfeld’s post has since gone viral and has been reposted by other celebrities, including Julianne Moore, Amy Schumer, Amanda Kloots, and Kathy Hilton.
The American author made the statement after several conspiracy theorists teamed up on a Los Angeles freeway to hang anti-Semitic banners. One of the banners read, “Kanye is right about the Jews,” indicating that they support statements made by the West about the Jewish community.
Another sign on the highway also asks drivers to “Honk” if they support the rapper’s recent statement. Some protesters were also caught throwing the Nazi salute, a greeting gesture to show allegiance to Adolf Hitler. He is famous for presiding over the deaths of millions of Jews during the Holocaust.

We should cultivate & engage with our cultural & ethnic pride as Jews in the diaspora.
