LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: An antisemitic group openly demonstrated their support for Kanye West on Saturday, October 22, by hanging a banner over the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles that read, "Kanye is right about the Jews," as more and more individuals distance themselves from Ye, formerly known as Kanye West

ADL Center on Extremism Vice President Oren Segal tweeted a picture of seven people giving the Nazi salute as they approach a banner that reads, "Honk If You Know," and another that displays Bible passages. Several people holding the banners lifted their arms in Nazi salute. The white nationalist group, Goyim Defense League, which the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) describes as a "loose network of individuals connected by their virulent antisemitism," was responsible for the display, according to the nonpartisan nonprofit Stop Antisemitism, reported 'Complex'

The white supremacist organization is seen by the Anti-Defamation League to be united in its desire to "cast aspersions on Jews and spread antisemitic myths and conspiracy theories." 

West has faced criticism for making anti-Semitic slurs during a string of appearances after threatening to "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE" on Twitter. Ye gave a puzzling interview to Piers Morgan in which he refused to take responsibility for his earlier remarks but later expressed regret for "the people that I've hurt," attributing his actions to having been wounded and seeking to do harm to others. 



 

Anna Wintour, the esteemed editor-in-chief of Vogue, has chosen to end her relationship with West as a result of his comments, and Balenciaga is said to have followed suit. In addition, he is being sued for $250 million by George Floyd's family for making false statements on the Drink Champs podcast episode, which has since been removed, in which he claimed that Floyd didn't perish at the hands of Derek Chauvin or any other Minneapolis police officers.

MEAWW recently reported that even for Kanye West's scandal-prone, unrepentant supporters, his ongoing public meltdowns and antisemitic outbursts have reached extreme new levels. Donald Trump, a previous president, is now included in this group. Trump once boasted that West was a friend of his "for a long time." According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, ever since West punctuated his recent outbursts by writing on Twitter that he was ready to "dying with 3" in "JEWISH People today," the head of the Republican Party has told various people that the 45-year-old rapper is acting too "crazy" and that he needs some professional "help." Trump made it apparent on Sunday, October 16, that his distancing from Kanye West is "strategic" rather than driven by ethical concerns. It's also unusual for the former president, who has always loved delivering his unwanted commentary on celebrity news and A-list tabloid gossip, to say that it would be best if he refrains from talking about West any further for the time being.
