Kanye West makes antisemitic social media posts between Twitter and Instagram

Jerusalem Post

American rapper Kanye West threatened Jewish people about a supposed conflict with him over a Jewish agenda and said that he couldn't be antisemitic because black people are Jews also, in a now-removed tweet on Sunday morning.

"I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 [sic] on Jewish people," West began, likely incorrectly referring to a stage in the defense readiness condition of the United States military, or DEFCON. "You guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone [who] opposes your agenda."

West, who had been largely inactive on Twitter until recently, shared a screenshot of a Forbes article relating how he had migrated to the social media platform from Instagram, which had restricted his account over apparent antisemitic remarks.

"Who do you think created cancel culture?" West posted in another tweet not long after the first remark.

Earlier, West chastised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg over his removal from Instagram, sharing a picture of the two and saying that they used to be close.

The tweet was removed by Twitter for violating the platform's rules just over an hour after posting.

West also addressed accusations of antisemitism, saying that "The funny thing is I actually can’t be antisemitic because black people are actually Jew [sic] also."

This comment is in line with the beliefs and rhetoric of the Black Hebrew Israelite cult and some black supremacist movements, which identify people of African descent as the true Jews, and those that otherwise identify as Jewish as fake Jews.

Instagram and Diddy

On Friday West had posted on Instagram screenshots of a conversation with fellow rapper Diddy, in which he had said "Ima [sic] use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me."

The now-deleted Instagram post was accompanied with a comment by West that " Jesus was a Jew."

Tucker Carlson interview and spat with Kushner family

West has recently been courting controversy, in which photos of him wearing a "white lives matter" shirt circulated online, and he did an interview on Tucker Carlson in which he bashed the Kushner family.

West, who now goes by the pseudonym Ye, criticized Jared Kushner's role in the Trump administration in the interview.

"When I think about all of these things that Jared somehow doesn't get enough credit for with his work and what is his work, Israel or his work in Pal[estine]... you know he made these peace treaties," said West, referring to the Abraham Accords. "I just think it was to make money."

"I just think that's what they're about, is making money," West continued. "I don't think that they have the ability to make anything on their own. I think they were born into money,” he said of the Kushner family.

West also discussed his views on abortion, the connections between Kim Kardashian and the Clinton family, and his support for former president Donald Trump.

I knew he went off the deep end, but this is a full Mel Gibson moment, if I have ever seen it.

Dude just posted a pick with Candace Owens wearing matching 'White Lives Matter' shirts....then follows it up with this. Think he's def being influenced by Black Israelite cult nonsense. Good on twitter for deleting his sh*t posts.

I love Kanye, he's off his tits.

Vote we make him President, so he makes Dr. Strangelove a reality.

He's black as well, so it will be socially progressive.

On topic - I don't think he's a legit racist or anything, just, mad. Basically.

Ye has lost his freakin marbles. Death Con 3 lol! That sounds like a Steven Segal movie.

This is a big nothing burger without even any fries or a drink....

Bipolar sucks.

Don't worry, Elon Musk will make everyone forget about whatever dumb stuff Kanye says when he suggests South Korea should give half of Seoul to North Korea.

If black people want to be the "real" Jews, then let em.

Kanye apparently pulled his clothing line from GAP because they wouldn't sell his sweatshirts that say "white lives matter" so GAPs stock went down lol

Kanye is a funny guy, like his music

His music sucks, as does his political thoughts.

Why do you defend antisemitism? This is the 3rd or 4th time I have seen you do it.

Is black people saying they are jews antisemitism?

A mentally ill person with way too much influence. Just another Monday.

L O L 'real jews'.

You know what's being said and being purposefully ignorant as per usual.

sounds like religious shit to me

Don't play dumb kid,

Ye tweeted that he would soon go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” an apparent reference to the United States’ defense readiness condition, known as Def. Con.

“You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda,” he wrote. The tweet was removed by the company.

In the context of Kanye's remarks, certainly. Which is why it needs to be rebuffed and called for what it is.

He's probably referring to the Jews he's worked with in Hollywood, probably the higher ups. Don't think he's talking to the entirety of Jewish people. Poor choice of words tho

Would you consider the people that call themselves black Israelites, anti semitic?

I crossed out the bullshit. Yes a poor choice of words, antisemitism usually is.

Although defending it numerous times is also sus.

The cult is now so woke that I've seen several calling people racist for calling a black person racist. Priceless.

Lefties loved him back in the day when he said this.

Ohh how the tides have turned.

WTF, man. This is channeling old school Nazi rhetoric.

Gotta stop giving him attention..... Let him fade away.

Celeb culture is super cringe.

I get it man, its uncomfortable to talk about, but its not a lie. Hollywood has a lot of Jewish people in the higher up positions. I got nothing against Jewish people, I'm not some "Nazi" Im just observing basic truths. Jews in America basically built Hollywood. That's why so many people in positions of power in Hollywood tend to be Jewish.

That statement is not antisemitic ^^^ its a basic truth. People just don't like to mention it because it does fall in line with rhetoric you may see from people with anti semitic views. But that doesn't mean its false... People with prejudices towards certain groups of people will use these basic truths to prove their more nefarious theories. Acknowledging that basic truth doesn't need to be shunned, "we wont acknowledge this basic truth because people might assume we are claiming something nefarious".

Here's an article on the subject written by a Jewish outlet so you wont call me Nazi for acknowledging it.

https://jewishunpacked.com/how-american-jews-built-hollywood/

When movies were introduced in the late 1890s, success in this new industry required many of the same skills as vaudeville and the garment trade. Salesmanship was the big one: film producers had to sell their movies to theater owners, and theater owners had to then sell to audiences. For example, Carl Laemmle (a German-born Jew) marketed clothing before starting Universal Pictures. Adolph Zukor (a Hungarian-born Jew) sold furs before founding Paramount Pictures, and Jesse Lasky (an American-born Jew), one of his partners at Paramount, was previously a vaudeville horn player. And there were many others, like Shmuel Gelbfisz (a Polish-born Jew) who changed his name to Samuel Goldwyn once he quit selling gloves and entered the film business. Marcus Loew (an American-born Jew) also came from vaudeville before pivoting to movie theaters (AMC Loew’s) and production.

Its pretty wide know that Jews built Hollywood and had a huge impact on the entertainment industry...

I agree, its gotten ridiculous

Nah, ye kills it man . Separate the art from the artist if you have to.

This is the 3rd thread you've done this, and I now know your view point for certain. The other was defending a white supremacist who was Jew bashing. Fucking slime.

Uhh....

He can make these antisemitic comments. This is his right.

The social media company can also ban him or delete the comment, as per TOS. That is their right.

I remember everyone making fun of him here(old SW) when that happened. From both sides. 🤣

Give me examples of these people and some rhetoric. Then we can discuss whether or not the comments or person is antisemitic.

Yes, your Stormfront posting makes me uncomfortable. It's too bad that site shut down, you weirdos ended up everywhere.

That's not what freedom of speech is.

A guy with millions of followers saying he's going death con 3 on Jewish people is a bit more than just a "comment about jews"

@InEMplease: I was in Barnes and Noble not long ago, and the entire section in Sociology was on nothing but books about how white men suck. Yet people can’t take a comment about “Jews.”

Kanye has every right to express his opinion on any people group. You can hate him for it, but he should not be silenced. What if you should be silenced for criticizing a minority such as Kanye? You see how silly all of it is?

@HoolaHoopMan

Yes it is. What else is “free speech”? If you have restrictions, it becomes “restricted speech.”

Free speech means the government cannot silence dissent.

@LJS9502_basic: Dissent against what?

Against the government. They cannot silence critics.

That's not going to happen. The news is all about the clicks at this point, which means anything controversial is going to be promoted front and center. It's good "clickbait" and the media loves good clickbait.

@The_Deepblue: social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter are restricted speech platforms. They decide what's allowed. They don't promote free speech. That's their business decision.

@zaryia: never been to stormfront

just call me a Nazi if that's what helps you cope.

It's what I expect from people like you.

@HoolaHoopMan: Black Israelites believe they are the true Jews. God's children of African decent.

Black Israelites believe the people called Jews today are not real Jews and are not gods children.

Louis Farrakhan is one of the most prominent who promotes this ideology.

@LJS9502_basic: Kanye was criticizing someone involved in government (Kushner).

Sure, those lines of reasoning are absurd and problematic because they promote racial supremacy (assuming they are accurate).

Go shout 'I have a bomb' in a airport and get back to us on your definition. Also remember that Kanye is not in jail. Private companies have freedom of association with the right to host or not-host speech as they see fit. They are not obligated to promote the speech of a lunatic, racist, sexist, etc.

So yes, you need to reevaluated what you see as freedom of speech since you don't seem to grasp the concept very well.

What does that have to do with his remarks being anti Semitic? Also Kushner is not in government now and the government hasn't done anything to Kanye.

False by a matter of legal precedent and logic. The company has the right to ban him or remove his posts, as per their own first amendment and TOS.

If he wants to go full antisemite then he gets the stick. You are not free from consequences.
