#kanye is a nazi

[notaplaceofhonour]

Yeahhhhh, it’s hard to believe someone calling the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (a non-profit organization) a “company” did even two seconds of looking into it or knows anything about it or its founder that isn’t distorted hearsay.

For those interested in actually looking into it for more than 4 seconds, whose “research” isn’t just believing unverified rumors shared on social media:

The Blue Square “Stand Up to Jewish Hate” 🟦 campaign was launched in 2022 in response to a spike in antisemitic incidents following antisemitic statements made by Kanye West & Kyrie Irving, not Palestine.

West’s Nazi rants are so infamous they barely bear mentioning (“Death Con 3 on Jewish People” & “I love Hitler” may jog your memory). Irving’s are less well-known, but he shared a link to a film full of antisemitic conspiracy theories including Holocaust Denial & a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, claims of Satanic Jews, & blaming Jews for the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

And the rise in antisemitism in 2022 was not speculation or opinion; it was a measurable fact, and a continuation of the trend of rising antisemitism that had been going on for many years before that The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism was founded in 2019 to combat.

If you look at FCAS’s social media you can see with your own eyes that most of their posts have nothing to do with the Israel-Palestine conflict—they post about antisemitism and Jewish issues generally. Where relevant, that may include acts of antisemitism in the context of anti-Israel protests, but that is a far cry from a “sole purpose” of delegitimizing Palestinians or equating any protest of Israel’s actions to antisemitism.

Neither Robert Kraft nor the FCAS have ever said criticism of Israel is in-and-of-itself antisemitic. Where criticism of Israel becomes antisemitic is when it employs antisemitic tropes (like blood libel, deicide, Jewish media control, Holocaust Denial & Distortion) or the 3Ds (demonization, double-standards, or delegitimization) against Israel. The FCAS’s position on antisemitism in the context of criticism of Israel is in line with the IHRA’s working definition of antisemitism, which explicitly states that simply criticizing Israel is not antisemitic, but encourages looking at the context & content of those criticisms. This is more-or-less the consistent understanding of antisemitism by most Jewish orgs and the majority of the Jewish people. Hating Kraft or the FCAS over this position, overstating it to pretend they have undue loyalty to Israel or are genocidal, plays into multiple antisemitic tropes & conspiracy theories, including dual-loyalty and blood libel.

As demonstrated in other reblogs of this post, Kraft donates millions to pro-Palestinian orgs & incubators that advance the self-sufficiency of Palestinians & other underserved communities in Israel. If Kraft believed “supporting Palestinians = antisemitism”, he would not be pouring millions into doing just that. These are hardly the actions of someone who wants to “destroy the Palestinian people, in whole or in part”.

And that brings us to the charge of “genocide”.

Genocide by definition requires that the perpetrators clearly express dolus specialis, or special intent, to destroy in whole or in part a people as such. Israel has not done this; they have a) clearly stated legitimate military goals (dismantling Hamas & returning hostages), b) in a war they didn’t start, c) in response to a military attack from Gaza, & d) has made no explicit statement of intent to exterminate the Palestinian people—so no dolus specialis. The same cannot be said of Hamas.

This does not mean that there has been no wrongdoing or other crimes committed over the course of the war. And the war has absolutely been devastating for Gazan civilians. We know this. That does not make it genocide; that makes it a humanitarian crisis. Even those accusing Israel of genocide, such as Ireland, acknowledge that their accusation requires broadening the definition of genocide to do so. If you have to redefine the meaning of a crime to make someone you’ve already decided is guilty, it’s not unreasonable for someone to claim you’re applying a double-standard, and/or working backwards from a presumption of guilt (which may be a sign of demonization)—both aspects that can make criticism of Israel antisemitic. That is why many many Jews, not just FCAS would describe this accusation of “genocide” as antisemitic.

TL;DR: If you’re gonna call us stupid & act we didn’t do our research, don’t do so from inside a glass house:

Robert Kraft did not found FCAS to “delegitimize Palestinians”; he founded it in 2019 to combat a measurable rise in antisemitism.

FCAS’s “Stand Up to Jewish Hate” 🟦 campaign was created after Ye’s Nazi rants, in response to the continued rise in antisemitism which FCAS exists to combat, not Palestine.

Kraft & FCAS do not claim merely criticizing Israel is antisemitic.

Far from expressing a desire to exterminate them, Kraft contributes millions to aiding Palestinians; he clearly does not believe supporting Palestinians = antisemitism.

What makes claims of Kraft/FCAS having dual-loyalty or redefining genocide to accuse Israel of it antisemitic is a reliance on antisemitic tropes & double-standards��not that they are criticisms of Israel.

you will not be surprised to learn that not only was the commercial spot in question not “about how we all need to stand with Israel”, but israel & palestine are not referenced or alluded to in any way whatsoever.

here’s the ad:

it’s not even an ad primarily about antisemitism. it’s a campaign called “Stand Up To All Hate” about standing up to racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, sexism, antisemitism, etc.—all hate, as the name suggests.

and, for a split second, there’s a kid wearing a kippah. that’s it. shaq appeared in an ad where a kid wears a kippah and that is what is getting him accused of “supporting genocide”

The fact that Kanye West was honored at the Grammys despite being a Nazi and nobody talked about it or boycotted or anything is just proof that Jews are right that people only talked about Elon because y'all already hate him. This is outrageous.

Four Horsemen of the Trump apocalypse.

The following rant is in response to an article about Kanye's most recent antisemitic rant in which he declared himself a Nazi, specifically it's a response to the nauseating amount of comments that featured sentiments like "mental illness is no joke" or "I feel sorry for him at this point, he clearly needs help"

To everyone insisting on bringing up mental illness as an explanation for this behavior, and/or offering sympathy for his perceived lack of help with his mental health, kindly FUCK all the way off. MENTAL ILLNESS DOES NOT RESULT IN RACIST BEHAVIOR/BIGOTRY. MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT A STEPPING STONE TO BECOMING A NAZI. I'm mentally ill, and so are many of my close friends, and I'm acquainted with numerous of other folks online and irl who are suffering from all manner of mental illness/disorders/neurodivergence ranging from depression, schizophrenia, autism, ect. And NONE of them are bigots. Bigotry is a CHOICE specifically born out of an environment of EXTREME PRIVILEGE AND/OR WHITE SUPREMACY. For the love of Christ Almighty, save your sympathy for folks actually struggling to get by day by day with their mental illness WHILE CHOOSING to remain good people AKA non-bigots!

OK, are we finally done with Kanye West, or are some of you still going to defend that Nazi asshole?

Trump's buddy and sometime dinner companion, Kanye West (or whatever he now calls himself), has gone full-blown Nazi in a way that would make even Elon Putz jealous.

He's been a Hitler fanboy for years and even brought Nazi Nick Fuentes to Mar-a-Lago to meet Trump. Yet people have continued to ignore his Hitlerian inclinations and treat him as a respectable character.

Kanye West has been sued and dropped by his talent agency after he posted a stream of antisemitic abuse, put T-shirts with a swastika on sale in his online shop, and was alleged to have described himself as Hitler to a Jewish employee. Last week West, also known as Ye, wrote a barrage of antisemitic posts on X including, “I’m a Nazi … I love Hitler”. The swastika T-shirt was placed for sale on the website of his fashion brand Yeezy, with the product line “HH-01”, assumed to be code for “Heil Hitler”. Shopify, the company that provided the online platform for Yeezy, has now taken the store offline, stating: “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms.” On Monday, the talent agency representing West removed him from their roster. Daniel McCartney of 33 & West wrote in a statement that his working relationship with West was over, “effective immediately … due to his harmful and hateful remarks that myself nor 33 & West can stand for”.

Because there is still money to be made from him, some people will continue to empower him — Hitler and all.

This isn't to say Kanye isn't a fascist Nazi piece of shit, because he absolutely is.

But you think maybe he's using his fascist Nazi piece of shit views to get attention and stay relevant?

Because it seems like I keep forgetting he's a person that exists until he says some stupid fascist racist Nazi piece of shit thing. Then EVERYONE is talking about him being a racist fascist Nazi piece of shit for the next 6 months until he starts to fade into obscurity when he inevitably says the next racist fascist Nazi piece of shit thing to get everyone riled up again.

And maybe we'd all do better to stop enabling it. Next time he has a trash opinion just ignore it. Let him fade into obscurity like the racist fascist Nazi piece of shit he is.

Because right now all he's learning is he says sums fascist shit and he gets free publicity from EVERYONE.

Like, fuck, I even saw someone on LinkedIn comment on it.

what did we autistic people do to deserve getting represented by elon musk and kanye fucking west

[allthegeopolitics]

Kanye West has gone on a shocking, all-caps rant on X, publishing a series of antisemitic posts in which he brands himself a “Nazi” who “loves Hitler” as well as asserting control over his wife, Bianca Censori. The contentious rapper – who caused controversy at the Grammys last week alongside Censori when she appeared completely nude on the red carpet – has previously been criticised for his lengthy rants targeting the Jewish community. In his latest diatribe, West, 47 – who legally changed his name to Ye in 2021 – wrote on Elon Musk’s platform X, formerly Twitter: “I LOVE HITLER. NOW WHAT B***ES.”
