Outrage as Kanye West posts image of Swastika merged with Star of David moments before Twitter ban

Kanye West appeared on 'InfoWars', a podcast hosted by Alex Jones, and said that he admires Hitler

After a long night of explosive tweets by Kanye West, Twitter CEO Elon Musk has finally suspended the rapper's account. This decision came in the wake of highly questionable tweets from the rapper who said that he loves Jewish people but also Nazis. He personally endorsed Adolf Hitler, and eventually jumped the gun when he posted a picture of a Swastika photoshopped inside the Star of David on Thursday, December 1. This was the end of the line for Twitter users. 

The entire fire started when the 45-year-old rapper appeared on 'InfoWars', a podcast hosted by Alex Jones, and said that he admires the Third Reich and its leader, Adolf Hitler. The antisemitic rant was enough for people to figure out the stand of the musician. But things took a turn for the worse when he shared an image of a Swastika which is widely recognized for its appropriation by the Nazi Party and by neo-Nazis. He captioned the image on his now-suspended account, "YE24 LOVE EVERYONE “#LOVESPEECH" The rapper, who has previously suffered the loss for his antisemitic comments, is at it again and Twitter is not having it.

One user wrote, "Kanye West just posted a photo of a swastika inside of the Star of David. This is abhorrent and dangerous. Shame on anyone who has enabled and supported him on his crusade against the Jewish people. We refuse to be silent in the face of this deplorable anti-Semitism. Never again." Another user wrote, "Kanye West just tweeted a picture of a Jewish Star with a Swastika etched inside of it. I think it would be proper for law enforcement to investigate West. He is demonstrating the erratic behavior of a psychopath preparing to commit a hate crime against the Jewish Community:" 

One user tweeted, "dear god. kanye and musk seem to be pushing this batshit insane idea that Jews should forgive Nazis, symbolized by swastika in star of david Kanye tweeting to his 32 million followers" Another user tweeted, "I prefer the version of Twitter where you can scroll without seeing vile images of a swastika embedded in a star of David tweeted by Kanye. WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?"

One user tweeted, "Kanye's Nazi Swastika embedded in a Star of David post is one of the most offensive things I've ever seen. This soul crushing hate cannot persevere. We must push back hard in a unified voice against antisemitism. This cannot stand...this must be a catalyst for change." Another user tweeted, "There is no possible explanation for Twitter allowing Kanye West - AKA Ye - to post this Swastika inside a star-of-David. This would not be allowed in most of the world."
