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.
