(Jewish Group) Every antisemitic thing Kanye West has said (so far)

The news cycle cannot get off of Kanye West. The rapper, who legally changed his name to Ye, made antisemitic posts on Instagram and Twitter in early October, setting off a landslide of revelations.

Since then, it feels like each new day has brought a new story about West’s antisemitic statements. Podcast and talk show hosts invited him onto their shows to talk about the initial incident on social media, and ended up platforming the musician’s ranting, which has reiterated his antisemitism as well as racist statements and condemnations of figures such as George Floyd.

Some have blamed West’s antisemitic rants on his bipolar diagnosis. But his antisemitic beliefs are nothing new even as West has repeatedly defended himself against criticism by attempting to position himself as a brave teller of truth.

It’s all hard to keep up with, so we’ve made a timeline to help you keep track of the ongoing chaos.

I feel if we engage a clown like Kayne we lose. And if we say nothing we lose too.

Read the other article I posted about responses from Black Jews. A few of them are spewing the same nonsense coming from the non-Jewish communities.
