intentions get lost in translation. Enough people objected to two of
Kim's tweets from today in which she said she was "praying for
everyone in Israel" and "praying for everyone in Palestine and across
the world!" that she has since deleted the posts and apologized for
offending anybody.
"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," she wrote on her blog.
"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.
" Her tweets were in response to news reports that tensions have
escalated along the Gaza Strip this week, with Palestinian militants
firing rockets at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and the Israeli military
gearing up for a possible ground invasion, which would be its first in
Gaza in four years. Three Israelis were killed in a rocket attack
yesterday, while Palestinian fatalities are now at 28, including
several children, a Hamas leader whose home was hit by an Israeli
rocket and a man executed by Hamas for collaborating with the
Israelis, according to the New York Times.
