Israeli ambassador condemns Kanye West for praising Hitler
Former president Trump recently met with the rapper, for which he was criticized by incoming Israeli prime minister Netanyahu.
Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Herzog spoke out today against rapper Kanye West’s remarks about Jews.
“I am sickened by the conversation that Alex Jones had with avowed antisemites Kanye West and Nick Fuentes,” said Herzog on Twitter. “At a time when antisemitism is on the rise, it is alarming that such vile rhetoric is given a platform and legitimized.”
What happened: West, who now goes by the name “Ye,” appeared today on the show of right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones alongside white nationalist Nick Fuentes. West made numerous antisemitic comments on the show.
"I see good things about Hitler,” said West, adding that the German dictator “invented highways.” This may have been a reference to the autobahn.
