After the rapper declared war on Jews earlier this month, anti-Semitic posters stating “Kanye is correct about the Jews” were hanging from a Los Angeles roadway on Saturday.
About five members of the Goyim Defense League, a group that promotes anti-Semitic rumors, gathered behind a row of anti-Semitic signs on the 405 highway while wearing hats and masks.
After West’s now-deleted tweet from October 9 that said, “I’m a little drowsy now but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” the group seemed to back him.
As vehicles saw the banners that said, “Honk if you know… Kayne is correct about the Jews,” group members could be seen throwing up the Nazi salute. REV 3:9, John 8:44. GOYIM TV.
Recently, West has spoken out against conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic material on social media and in public appearances.
On social media, many celebrities, including Florence Pugh and Zoe Buckman, expressed their dissatisfaction with the placards.
Pugh shared a picture of the motorway signs on her Instagram story and captioned it, “Absolutely terrible.”
Artist and non-practicing Jew Buckman uploaded the horrifying image on Instagram in a longer post that made reference to West’s partnership with Adidas, which is presently “under review” in light of his recent scandals.
This is LA on October 22nd, writes Buckman. ‘At this point, it’s disrespectful to keep waiting for @adidas to make a comment or take action. We are aware of how public relations campaigns operate and how rapidly people may respond if they are motivated.
We should stop holding out for the so-called allies to speak out against the surge of antisemitism that is emanating from both the left AND the right, said Buckman. As Jews in exile, we should mobilize and celebrate our cultural and ethnic pride.
“I understand the self-loathing that decades, centuries, of persecution may develop in us, but other oppressed groups have pride; where is ours?”
I see you if you’re Jewish. I support you. Get out of my f****** way if you don’t want to see it and want to turn a blind eye.
On Sunday, comedian Amy Schumer added her two cents, posting a picture with the caption, “I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people.”
Schumer included a debate starter in the caption: “If you don’t know what to post. Start with this, please. in the remarks. Do you realize what the Jewish community is worried would result from this? One in two persons are unaware that the Holocaust occurred. Then get up.
Jessica Seinfeld, who added the description, “If you don’t know what to say, simply say this in your feed,” saw the post by Amy Schumer and shared it.
In an earlier interview with Piers Morgan on October 19, West said that he “definitely” doesn’t regret making his anti-Semitic remarks but only made a token apology.
On the British chat program “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” West remarked, “I will say I’m sorry for the folks that I affected with the death con [comments].”
I believe I damaged and confused people. And I’m sorry for using my position, where you can say injured people harm others, to speak out against the families of those who had nothing to do with the tragedy I had experienced. I felt wounded.
I’m a little drowsy tonight, but when I wake up, I’m gonna death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE, the rapper tweeted earlier this month.
The irony is that black people are really Jews, therefore I can’t really be anti-Semitic. You guys have been playing with me and trying to blacklist everyone who doesn’t agree with your agenda.
The US Armed Forces employ the alert known as Deafcon, also known as defense readiness condition, to show how rapidly the troops may be sent amid life-threatening events and assaults.
Later, the rapper’s Twitter account was shut down.
West made it clear throughout the discussion with Morgan that he intended to apologize to the Jews who had done nothing wrong. West explicitly targeted Jewish Hollywood execs in his remarks because of how they treated Black performers.
The ex-husband of Kim Kardashian has a history of erratic outbursts on social media; he was given a bipolar illness diagnosis in 2016, but this year, his rants have increased in frequency.
To manage his commercial interests, West recently recruited Camille Vasquez, the lawyer who represented Johnny Depp.
According to TMZ, Vasquez will be one of the attorneys at the Brown Rudnick firm presently working with West. Vasquez, who earned national recognition for her defense of Depp in his contentious defamation battle with ex-wife Amber Heard, will be among them.
