I agree with this entirely. Acting like his comments were no big deal (that people should "get over it" because ...what... antisemitism has never really hurt anybody?) puts Jews in an awkward position. If we're silent we feel complicit. If we speak up it's "There you go again."

A lot of folks are probably reacting to Kanye with a shrug — it’s just Kanye; it’s not like he’s in a position to act on his anti-Semitism; etc. Don’t. His behavior isn’t harmless. Normalizing hate moves the Overton window on what’s acceptable for people under far less scrutiny.

No one plays the innocent pure victim like the jews, I call them the permanent victim class or race They have made billions exploiting and manipulating there role of innocent victims and yet we know that they are not victims, they are master manipulators, exploiters.

He lost his mind, in my view, almost the same way Donald Trump lost his mind. And the reactions from people seem to be very familiar.

I keep coming back to the 14th amendment " Equal Protection Under the Law. "

OK, I found it on NPR, (the things he said). Still not sure what his specific complaint is but he is whining about the Jewish people for some unknown reason. I don't want to promote this loser and so instead i am going to post anti discrimination laws.

Kanye West proves that you can be a hip-hop savant and a shitty human being at the same time.

If we’d remain silent we are condoning his antisemitism.

You know what puts Jews in an awkward position? Palestinian genocide. Free Palestine.
