The Anti-Defamation League and other Jewish organizations have issued statements condemning Kanye West’s recent antisemitic comments.
After sharing antisemitic posts on social media, Kanye “Ye” West is facing criticism from the Anti-Defamation League and other Jewish organizations.
In a statement shared Sunday afternoon, the Anti-Defamation League condemned the rapper’s recent comments, calling them “dangerous” and pointing readers to resources to identify and combat antisemitism.
“Power. Disloyalty. Greed. Deicide. Blood. Denial. Anti-Zionism. All of these are antisemitic tropes that we break down in our #AntisemitismUncovered Guide,” the Anti-Defamation League stated. “Many of these myths have influenced [Kanye West’s] comments recently, and it’s dangerous.”
West has recently faced account restrictions on both Instagram and Twitter over violations of each individual platform’s guidelines and policies.
West’s Instagram restrictions came first. On Friday, the rapper shared a screenshot of a message he had allegedly sent to rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, in which West wrote, “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.
