The Campaign Against Antisemitism has called for the removal of Kanye West from X (formerly Twitter) following a string of offensive and antisemitic tweets. West's recent posts have drawn widespread condemnation, prompting the Campaign to urge Elon Musk to take action against the rapper's online behavior.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism has issued a call for Elon Musk to remove Kanye West , now known as Ye, from X (formerly Twitter ) following a string of offensive and antisemitic tweets. From Thursday evening to Friday afternoon, Ye posted numerous tweets expressing antisemitic views and making controversial statements about slavery, characterizing it as a 'choice'.
A spokesperson for the Campaign Against Antisemitism condemned Ye's actions, stating that his online behavior is a clear indication of unrepentant, proud antisemitism. They emphasized the widespread reach of these harmful posts, surpassing the global Jewish population, and expressed concern that Ye has failed to learn from previous consequences, such as Adidas ending its partnership with him in 2022 after similar antisemitic remarks. The spokesperson urged Elon Musk to take immediate action and remove Ye from X, highlighting the urgency of addressing this incitement amidst a surge in antisemitism. This call follows Adidas' decision to sever ties with West in 2022, donating over $150 million to anti-hate groups after West made a series of antisemitic statements, including praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in a conversation with US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. In 2023, a video surfaced showing West making incoherent statements, including references to Jews and Zionists. He later issued an apology in Hebrew on Instagram, expressing regret for any unintended hurt caused by his words and actions. He also stated his commitment to making amends and promoting unity. However, in 2023, Alex Klein, a former business partner of West, alleged in a BBC Two documentary that West used offensive phrases regarding his Jewish identity. This incident adds to West's history of controversial behavior, including an eight-month suspension from X in October 2022 for posting erratic tweets featuring a symbol combining a swastika and a Jewish star. Recently, West has made headlines for his actions alongside his wife, Australian model Bianca Censori, including their appearance at the 2023 Grammy Awards. In a recent episode of The Download podcast, West revealed he had been diagnosed with autism, challenging previous speculation about bipolar disorder. He attributed the diagnosis to his wife, who suggested he seek reassessment due to differences in his personality compared to typical bipolar behavior. West stated that his autism manifests in strong convictions and difficulty changing his mind, even when faced with opposition. He also revealed that he no longer takes medication for his mental health, explaining that autism is not an illness requiring treatment. However, in 2020, Kim Kardashian, then West's wife, acknowledged the complexities of managing his mental health, emphasizing the individual's responsibility in seeking help despite family and friend support. Representatives for West have been contacted for comment
