I don’t even care about what Kanye says or continues to say it’s more like how there’s a ton of people continuing to say how he was speaking truth that really makes me nervous
What’s also bothering me are people on the Left, predictably, saying that this wouldn’t have happened just for his anti-Black comments -- reinforcing the whole thing. It’s all over twitter but here’s one good example https://mobile.twitter.com/brokeymcpoverty/status/1584888665876336640
They’ll use antisemitism to take down someone they hate and then turn around and hate us because it worked.
It’s so absurd bc it’s not even his first time saying antisemitic comments and idk the extent of the anti black things he’s said but I think the fact that he’s a black man speaking of his own ethnicity is probably a factor. If he was silenced then for whatever those comments were, you know people would say it’s just bc he’s black. People always have to problematize
Elisa, I completely agree and am very worried about the implications of that. There are so many assholes on twitter (I’ve retweeted a few) who are really doubling down on this. Not sure what the solution is
It’s very disappointing and sad to me. But I think I’ve kind of given up with it. I think it’s just something that will always exist and flare up during periods and there isn’t much to do about it
Thank you, ladies! I sent a NY Daily News article to a friend this morning about an attack on a Hasidic teen in Brooklyn with a snarky “would be great if the squad denounced this.” I now feel vindicated. And thanks for vetting the Lex / Kanye interview. I was curious but couldn’t bring myself to listen.
Shabbat Shalom! The Jews are moving on, folks! 🚌🚌🚌
Yael was talking about being more disturbed by left-wing antisemitism than right-wing conspiracy rants and hatred. I've been thinking a lot about that lately 'cause I have the same reaction, and it always brings to mind a quote from Schindler's List. Oberführer Scherner: [to Schindler] God forbid you ever get a real taste for Jewish skirt – there's no future in it. No future. They don't have a future. And that's not just good old-fashioned Jew-hating talk. It's policy now.

And I honestly think he would’ve been fine if he had backed away after “death” con 3. He just kept going and made it impossible to ignore.
True. Several multiple hour podcast interviews + a 20 min interview + rage tweeting on Fox News is just a tad excessive

"Do you hate Jews if you play Golddigger on repeat? You don’t need to be a Talmud scholar to answer those questions with an astounding No."
---I feel so seen! (And relieved) 😆
