Kim Kardashian and members of her famous family have taken a stance against anti-Semitism.

They made their stance known on social media on Monday, at a time when Kim’s ex-husband, Kanye West, has been facing criticism for making derogatory remarks towards the Jewish community.

Kim took to Twitter and Instagram, where she wrote “I stand with the Jewish community and call for an end to the violent and hateful rhetoric aimed at them.”

She further stated that “hate speech is never acceptable or excusable.”

Kim’s family members, including her sister Khloé Kardashian, mom Kris Jenner, and half-sisters Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner, also joined in the show of support.

They shared a post created by Jessica Seinfeld, wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, that read “I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people.”

The post was part of a petition campaign calling for a boycott of Adidas, who has a partnership with West.

It is noteworthy that the Kardashian-Jenner clan took a stand against anti-Semitism as Kourtney Kardashian’s former partner, Scott Disick, and their three children are Jewish.

The family’s posts, however, did not directly mention Kanye West or his remarks.

Calls for Adidas to drop West have intensified over the weekend, as he has made several anti-Semitic and inflammatory comments.

He has also been seen as an inspiration for a small group of anti-Semitic protestors in Los Angeles, who were spotted holding signs reading “Kanye is right about the Jews” and making Nazi salutes.

Adidas has not yet commented on the situation, but after West displayed “White Lives Matter” shirts at a recent fashion show, the brand announced that it was reviewing its relationship with him.

Balenciaga has already severed ties with West and has no plans to work with him in the future.

Heads of talent management firms United Talent Agency and Endeavor have also called for a boycott of West.

West, who legally changed his name to Ye, is estimated to be worth $2 billion by Forbes.

This number could decrease significantly if he loses his partnership with Adidas. Kim Kardashian is worth $1.8 billion, according to Forbes, while Kylie Jenner was worth $600 million in June.
