At least 30 antisemitic incidents referencing Kanye West have been recorded by the ADL following his antisemitic tweets and comments at the end of last year.
The incidents, recorded by the antisemitism advocacy group since October include “vandalism, banner drops, targeted harassment, and campus propaganda distributions,” details the online report.
In terms of on-the-ground incidents, ADL reveals vandalism in various states, found in the vicinity of schools, a Jewish centre, a Jewish cemetery, airports, and public spaces. Amongst the vandalism were swastikas, “Defcon III”, “Kanye is right”, and “Kill All Jews” writing.
There have also been increased threats online. According to the ADL report, there have been more than 10,000 Tweets using or referencing the “Ye is Right” slogan. These posts have reached at least six million users on Twitter, garnering more than 22,000 likes and more than 5,000 retweets.
