October 17, 2022 15:13Rap star Kanye West has continued his public attack on Jews with a fresh rant in which he claimed “Jewish people locked me out” of social media platforms.
The US artist also claimed “Jewish people control the black voice,” and sarcastically said that the “Jewish media” would cancel one of the hosts for saying: “F*** Black Lives Matter.”
The latest tirade follows West’s suspension from Twitter and Instagram for previous antisemitic outbursts on the both platforms.
Campaign Against Antisemitism labelled West’s latest comments as “repulsive bigotry” and called for him to be “universally shunned”.

West threatened last week to go “death con 3 on Jewish people” before writing about their “agenda”.
He also referenced supposed Jewish influence in text messages shared to Instagram.
In an interview published yesterday on Revolt TV, West doubled down on those comments, and claimed that he has been “blocked out” by “the Jewish media”.
West also claimed: “Jewish people have owned the Black voice, whether it’s through us wearing a Ralph Lauren shirt, or it’s all of us being signed to a record label, or having a Jewish manager, or being signed to a Jewish basketball team, or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney.”

The rapper also claimed that he “is Jewish also”, saying: “We’re not just Black. We are Jew [sic], just like the Jewish people…I can’t be an antisemite.”
West also complained about being photographed in public, saying: “You get used to being screwed by the Jewish media.”
West also stated that he was “Me Too-ing the Jewish culture. I’m saying y’all gotta stand up and admit to what y’all been doing, and y’all just got away with it for so long, that y’all ain’t even realise what y’all doing.”

“A thing that a Jewish person will always say is they’ll say ‘This is mine’. Something that a Black person built, or any company built, they’ll be like ‘This is mine now’.”
“I want all the Jewish children to look at they daddy and say ‘Why is Ye mad at us?’,” he added.
Throughout the interview, West also referenced “Jewish business secrets”, “Jewish Zionists”, and said how Jewish people in the entertainment industry “will take one of us, the brightest of us, that can really feed a whole village, and they’ll take us and milk us until we die."
This week, the Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles invited the rapper to visit their exhibitions. The museum said in an Instagram post: “Words matter and words have consequences Ye. We urge you to come visit us at Holocaust Museum LA to understand just how words can incite horrific violence and genocides.
"The Holocaust started with only words that sadly begat stereotypes, racial and religious tropes and blaming others and led to the murder of six million Jews.”
West said that he had rejected the invitation by saying: “I want you to visit Planned Parenthood. That’s our Holocaust museum.”

In response to West’s latest antisemitic tirade, the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “Kanye West is an anti-Jewish racist.
“His latest rant about the ‘Jewish media’ and ‘Jewish Zionists’ cements the repulsive bigotry of his earlier call for ‘death con 3 on Jews’.
“He must be shunned universally. Those who say they fight racism must stand up for Jews. Be louder.”
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the US-based Anti-Defamation League, tweeted: “I believe in #CounselCulture not #CancelCulture, but it only works when someone is willing to learn. Instead, Kanye West adds #Holocaust distortion to his repertoire of antisemitism and hate. Pathetic.”
It was announced this morning that West has agreed in principle to buy controversial ‘free speech’ platform Parler, a deal expected to close before the end of the year.
In the press release announcing the sale, West said: "In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves.”
