Dubious Distinction: Ye Named ‘Anti-Semite Of The Year’

  • Well, this isn’t quite like winning a Grammy. Ye, otherwise known as Kanye West, was named anti-Semite of the year in a poll of nearly 10,000 votes.
  • The poll was conducted by the watchdog group “StopAntisemitism.”
  • “Kanye uses his celebrity platform to push dangerous antisemitic tropes about Jews and power and he refuses to stop. His continuous onslaught of bigoted statements has resulted in horrific antisemitic acts perpetrated by White supremacists, Black Hebrew Israelites, and other fringe groups looking to cause Jews harm,” SA Executive Director Liora Rez told TMZ in an interview.
  • “Jew hatred is already out of control in the United States and the last thing we need is a celebrity like Kanye to add fuel to that fire,” she added.
