Kim Kardashian Apologizes For Her Controversial Tweets On The Middle East Conflict
Posted on Sat Nov 17th, 2012 8:30am PDT By X17 Staff
After tweeting about the Israel-Palestine in the past few days, Kim Kardashian has come out and apologized to her fans.
The 32-year-old reality star tweeted on Friday, "Praying for everyone in Israel," and later, "Praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world!" as the two sides began firing at each other. Since then, she's received a backlash of vicious tweets and has backtracked and deleted her comments.
Shortly after, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star wrote a blog post entitled "A Message To You Guys" which stated, "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," she continued. "The fact is that regardless of religion and political beliefs, there are countless innocent people involved who didn't 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."
Kim's apology came just a day after she attended HQ Battery 10th Marine Birthday Ball in Greenville, North Carolina Thursday night with her escort, Sgt. Martin Gardner.
