Kanye West wins Antisemite of the Year award from Jewish-hate watchdog

“Despite losing the vast majority of his fortune, being booted from social media, and ostracised from his social circles, West continued spreading his antisemitism” StopAntisemitism said.

StopAntisemitism listed recent examples of Mr West’s antisemitism including an appearance on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s podcast where he said, “I see good things about Hitler” and “I like Hitler”.

Mr West also repeatedly denied the Holocaust during the interview and claimed the disdain the world felt for Nazis was a creation of the “Jewish media”.

Following the interview and widespread backlash, Mr West posted a picture of a swastika embedded into a Jewish star, which led to him being suspended from Twitter.

In another appearance on a podcast a few days later, Mr West said regarding the Holocaust, that Jews should “let it go”, and that they should forgive Hitler.

“Mazel Tov Kanye West for propagating the most Jew hatred in 2022 and winning this year’s dishonor” StopAntisemitism said.
