Antisemitism Real
Update 2024-03-25
2023-10-27 Kanye West to Jewish Adidas employee: ‘Kiss a picture of Hitler every day’ An explosive new investigation in the New York Times details how Adidas employees experienced frequent anti-Semitism from Grammy Award-winning rapper and Yeezy designer Kanye West for nearly a decade. Adidas officially ended its partnership with the rapper and producer, who now goes by Ye, in October of 2022, over multiple virulently anti-Semitic remarks, including a tweet in which the rapper threatened to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.” However, West’s pattern of anti-Semitism dates back to at least 2013, according to the Times’ reporting. https://www.alternet.org/kanye-jewish-adidas-hitler/
2019-03-08 Why False Accusations of Anti-Semitism Are So Harmful Bad-faith smears of Rep. Ilhan Omar and many others are being used to crush Palestinian rights, undermine social movements, and divert attention from real anti-Semitism. People are right to be afraid of rising anti-Semitism in the United States. But too many of them are wrong about what it is and where it’s coming from.
In the last two or three years, encouraged and legitimized by President Donald Trump, anti-Semitism has been on the rise alongside virulent racism, extreme misogyny, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and homophobia. Trump praised the “fine people” among the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi sympathizers who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, chanting, “Jews will not replace us,” “White lives matter,” and “One people, one nation, end immigration.” https://www.yesmagazine.org/social-justice/2019/03/08/ilhan-omar-anti-semitism-false-accusations-harmful
