Anti-Jewish hate watchdog StopAntisemitism has named Kanye West its 2022 Antisemite of the Year.

In a post to Twitter on Sunday, the US based organisation said: “Kanye West’s threats of violence, hateful conduct, and hate speech all led him winning this year’s title.”

Kanye West’s frequent anti-Jewish tirades in interviews began with a tweet in October in which he said he was going to go “death con 3” on Jewish people.

Mr West’s numerous other comments since the October 8 tweet has led to him being dropped by his talent agency and attorney, as well as losing partnership deals with numerous apparel brands, most notably Adidas.
