Dozens of her 17 million Twitter followers tweeted threatening posts in response, some of them anti-Semitic, The Hollywood Reporter said.

"Kill yourself," one wrote, while another said "Die in HELL!"

Other tweets included:

"You are a disgrace to your people and your ancestors."

"Further enhancing your reputation as a dumb porn star."

"Israel will be destroyed along with all the Jews who cursed RT."

Kardashian followed her first tweet with a second, saying "And praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world!"

She eventually removed both messages.
