Kanye held an impromptu press conference–more like a tirade–in front of paparazzi and reporters Friday, in which he refused to walk back or apologize for his antisemitic comments and incendiary rhetoric, which have been met with intense backlash and cost him billions in contracts.
Among other vicious remarks, West said: “I didn’t realize that it was antisemitic to say ‘hey you know, I have a Jewish attorney, I have a Jewish record label, I have a Jewish contractor.”
He also read off a spreadsheet a list of names of top Jewish executives of major media and entertainment corporations.
During the 10-minute tirade West also said he “had experiences (with Jewish executives) where it felt like I was being teamed up on.”
He also bizarrely read the definition of antisemitism, which includes making the false claim that Jews control the media, and then proceeded to agree that he made those exact accusations, while insisting his comments are not antisemitic.
He made other Jew-hating remarks, claiming that in 2016 a “Jewish doctor” misdiagnosed him with Bi-Polar disorder and, he continued “would have had me on medication right now. If I was on medication right now, then one pill could have been swapped out and it would have been Prince or Michael Jackson all over again. But because I didn’t take the medication, I am able to speak to you guys clear of thought and transparently.”
Asked if he would apologize nearly three weeks after he threatened to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE”, Kanye refused.
Regurgitating comments from social media, Kanye said “me being burned to the flesh every single day, it’s actually proving what I have to say,” about people of Jewish heritage “teaming up” on him.
Why are we paying attention to this idiot? Does he think that if he keeps on yelling then all his canceled contracts will come back? Is he saying anything substantial that needs to be responded to? Is his stance in the rational world worthy of any recognition? Let him yell, but ignore him.
That confirms it he definitely has bipolar I’ve been saying that for a long time
He’s obviously off his meds
who cares about decaying trash?
Is this a slow news day again?
I don’t know if people realize that Kanye west is truly a flawed person, trying to figure out who and what he is. We know that when all else fails, going after Jews is what haters do. If Hitler were alive, Kanye would be his right hand man.
15,000,000 Jews worldwide…approximately
Let’s say 30% are Orthodox….and 70% are not
At this point do you really Ye and all those who hate Jews really differentiate?
I get the fact you’re a TRUE TORAH Jew. I get the fact that you have contempt for other Jews that don’t follow Orthodox Judaism…but the point is LOST on those who just HATE…
Google Peter Bergson to find out the ramifications of division amongst Jews…
No thanks…NOT again…
The most unfortunate part of this is that the gentiles who hate Jews tend to (intentionally?) ignore the last part of this point: there are many liberal wackos, some of whom are executives in Hollywood, who happen to be born Jewish but whose true faith and allegiance is to liberalism and other anti-Jewish ideologies.
So, it is both silly and evil to blame Jews for liberal Jews-in-name-only. Judaism is a religion, and only those who are true to that religion have any relevance to it. Certainly not those who act in ways, and are proponents of ideologies, that are anti-Jewish.
That’s why his comments about Jews are wrong. That’s why part of the definition of antisemitism that he read is the belief that Jews control things. Besides for the conspiracy nonsense, that those Hollywood executives happen to be Jewish is irrelevant to everyone because their Judaism is irrelevant to themselves and their behavior and actions are due to their liberalism and the like, and very much not due to the religion into which they happened to have been born.
Are any of the names he shared fictitious, or is he telling the truth that evil Jews control the fake mainstream news media and create narratives that are harmful?
Let’s not get carried away. Trump told us that there are good people on both sides. Ben Shapiro told us that we should understand that Kanye is bipolar. Candance claims that Kanye is not even really antisemitic at all.
Silence from soros Co trolled ADL
Just watched the whole thing. Didn’t hear anything anti semitic. Are we blowing this outta proportion?
Yet Trump and some of his prominent followers refuse to walk back their support for Ye.
Meanwhile the Republican nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania just attacked the Democratic nominee for having attended a Jewish Day School. And other prominent Republicans are silent.
