I am done with antisemitism

 "God forgive me for the pain I caused," Kanye West wrote in one of his posts. The rapper, who shares four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian – North West, Saint West, Chicago West, and Psalm West – explained his motivation for the latest apology. "I just got a FaceTime call from my kids, and I want to save the world again," West wrote.

Social media users responded with skepticism to West's declaration, questioning whether he would maintain this new path given his repeated antisemitic expressions in recent years. One user corrected the post, writing "I'm done with antisemitism... for today." Another user named Ricardo replied, "You say this every 4 months and get worse each time."

West has been blocked and suspended multiple times for social media messages, including posting "I am Nazi" in February. During that same month, he called Adolf Hitler "fresh," and his e-commerce website was removed because he sold sweatshirts featuring swastikas.

In 2022, West lost all his fashion sponsors, including Adidas and Balenciaga, following antisemitic tweets in which he threatened to kill Jews. He apologized afterward, but deviated from that path again and continued being antisemitic on social media.

The rapper, who previously declared he is bipolar, said in February that he is actually autistic, despite various psychiatrists indicating he has different disorders. "I haven't taken medication since I discovered that bipolar wasn't the correct diagnosis," West said on "The Download" podcast at that time.

Kanye West released a new "song" called "Heil Hitler" last Thursday, in which the antisemitic musician continues to spread his vile ideology. We won't get into all the small details here, but the disgusting creation praises the Nazi tyrant, includes the phrase "All my niggas Nazis, nigga, heil Hitler," and even contains a sample of part of Hitler's speech from 1936.

Beyond that, the single's cover features an illustration strongly resembling the Nazi swastika. Horrifying, but the truth is it's hard to raise an eyebrow at the antics of the 47-year-old West, who lost it long ago and seems increasingly disconnected from reality.

But it doesn't end there, as an accusing finger must also be pointed at other parties who may not openly support West, but certainly continue to grant him disturbing freedom of action.

About three days after "Heil Hitler" was released, most leading social networks, streaming and music platforms, including YouTube, Spotify, and SoundCloud, are doing their best to eradicate the song from their servers – and that's obviously exactly what should be done.

However, and it's hard to be surprised, the social network X (formerly Twitter), which Elon Musk owns, has not yet removed the abhorrent creation, as well as the various posts and reposts by West and his associates discussing it.

It's unlikely that it will happen. As of the time of writing these lines, the "Heil Hitler" clip has already gathered more than 7.7 million views on X, while another post among many that West has shared in recent days, showing social media star and alleged misogynistic criminal in his own right, Andrew Tate, playing "Heil Hitler" in his car, has garnered 3.8 million views (West's response to the video was "Praise God"). Horrifying.

"Heil Hitler" claims to be the third single from "Cuck," West's 12th studio album, whose release date has not yet been announced. The two previous singles from it, "WW3" and "Cousins," deal with Nazism (though less than the new song) and incest, and were also heavily criticized.

Kanye West, the controversial American rapper now known as "Ye," has released a new music video called "Heil Hitler," adding to his record of antisemitic behavior.

The video, titled "HEIL HITLER (HOOLIGAN VERSION)," was published on West's X account and has already accumulated approximately 27,000 likes and over a million views. This release continues his track record of antisemitic behavior, including selling a T-shirt featuring a swastika through his fashion brand Yeezy.

Yeah, you read that right. The track has already sparked outrage worldwide, with critics calling it a dangerous flirtation with Nazi imagery and antisemitic rhetoric. Ye, known for pushing… pic.twitter.com/Oue5DAWBy6

In the video, men appear draped in animal skins, and the artist declares, "So I became a Nazi, I'm the villain." In the song, the artist addresses the backlash he faced after making controversial statements, including previously stating on his X account that he "loves Hitler," that he is a Nazi, and to "Call me Yadolph Hitler" – a play on his current name, Ye.

"Is this kind of posting allowed??" a user commented on X, while comments supporting the artist's latest release were quick to appear: "I hate to say it but it's a hit," one user said, "he still makes bangers," said another. The video comes at a time when antisemitic incidents are increasing worldwide, with particularly sharp rises in the United States.

Weeks after global outrage erupted over his previous antisemitic scandal, Kanye West was spotted in Los Angeles last Thursday wearing the only item currently for sale in his Yeezy brand collection – a T-shirt featuring a swastika. The item, titled "HH-01," presumably a euphemism for "Heil Hitler," was briefly made available for shipping to Israel before the website was shut down, which has particularly intensified the widespread condemnation.

According to footage originally published by TMZ, West was seen wearing the controversial shirt while talking with several people. "He then noticed the camera and made sure to stroll farther into the frame, ensuring a full, uninterrupted view of him in the shirt," the tabloid reported. The following day, West posted on social media platform X: "It was always a dream of mine to walk around with a Swastika T on."

West was previously removed from X following an extensive antisemitic posting spree that included offensive statements about the Jewish community and explicit support for Nazi ideology and Hitler. Among the rapper's previous posts on X were statements such as: "I love it when Jews come to me saying they can't work with me anymore," "I love Hitler. So what now, b*****s?", "I'm a Nazi," and "Call me Yadolph Hitler" – a play on his current name, Ye. As of press time, his account is again unavailable on the platform, though it remains unclear whether West's account was suspended by X or deleted by West himself.

TMZ's footage has been shared on social media, with Jewish organizations and activists condemning the antisemitic act. "With every move he sinks lower, doing himself a favor by proving exactly who he is: a repulsive, depraved antisemite, spreading Nazi ideology, fueling hatred, and emboldening extremists. He will never break us," read a joint post by several Jewish organizations on Instagram. A Jewish news account on X wrote: "Most Jews would probably just see an overweight, disheveled guy who seems homeless fumbling about. What's concerning, though, is his followers who take him seriously."

The controversy comes amid growing scrutiny of West's recent behavior, including his wife Bianca Censori's appearance at the Grammy Awards. Reports have emerged suggesting that Censori may be considering filing for divorce, though these claims remain unconfirmed.

In an unprecedented provocation, controversial artist Kanye West has removed his entire Yeezy brand collection, leaving only a single white T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika available for purchase at $20. The decision to make this antisemitic merchandise available for shipping to Israel has particularly intensified the widespread condemnation, with critics calling it a deliberate act of provocation.

The brand's website, which previously featured a complete collection including T-shirts and the transparent bodysuit worn by his wife Bianca Censori at the Grammy after-party, now displays only the offensive item bearing a black swastika. Sources confirmed West personally directed the removal of all other merchandise.

Leading figures in the fashion industry have united in calling for the immediate withdrawal of the offensive product. The controversy comes amid growing scrutiny of West's recent behavior, including the much-discussed Grammy Awards appearance of his wife.

The launch of this provocative merchandise coincides with West's removal from X following an extensive antisemitic posting spree. West, who has a documented history of making offensive statements about the Jewish community, accompanied the product release with explicit statements supporting Nazi ideology.

West posted a series of inflammatory messages on X Friday, including explicit praise for Hitler. Following intense public pressure on platform owner Elon Musk, West's profile disappeared from the platform Monday morning.

Platform administrators have not clarified whether West's account was suspended or self-deleted. The removal came after widespread calls for action following posts including: "I love it when Jews come to me saying they can't work with me anymore," "I love Hitler. So what now, b*****s?", "I'm a Nazi," and "Call me Yadolph Hitler" – a play on his current name, Ye.

A former executive assistant to Kanye West has filed a lawsuit making allegations of sexual harassment, breach of contract, and wrongful termination against the rapper and his Yeezy sneaker business. The plaintiff, Lauren Pisciotta, 35, claims she is owed $3 million after enduring "intentional infliction of emotional distress" while employed.

According to the lawsuit filed on Monday, Ms. Pisciotta alleges that Mr. West, who now goes by Ye, engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct over phone conversations with her according to TMZ.

Ms. Pisciotta contends that her employment was terminated in 2022 after a promised promotion to become Mr. West's "chief of staff" with a $4 million salary did not materialize. She also claims a multimillion-dollar severance package that was agreed upon was never paid out.

The court filing states Ms. Pisciotta had 15 years of experience in the music industry and previously collaborated with Mr. West on his Yeezy fashion line and songs for his Donda album. She alleges Mr. West hired her as an executive assistant at $1 million annually, requiring her availability around the clock.

The lawsuit alleges that after hiring the plaintiff, who had earned $1 million from an OnlyFans account that she deleted at Mr. West's request to be "God-like" for $1 million, he engaged in inappropriate communications and conduct. This included sending explicit text messages and exposing himself on a flight.

According to the filing, Mr. West allegedly made quotes such as stating his desire for partners to describe being sexually engaged while he was as well as expressing a wish for them to be unfaithful.

Additional allegations include Mr. West instructing Ms. Pisciotta to provide sexual supplements for him, his fixation on her boyfriend's anatomy, and sending explicit videos.

Representatives for Mr. West have not publicly responded to the lawsuit's claims so far, per reports. 

This is not the first time West has found himself in the headlines facing accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior. In Nov. 2022, it was reported that several former employees of West, who had previously admitted to a severe pornography addiction that strained his marriage, alleged that he showed them pornographic content and intimate pictures of his then-wife Kim Kardashian and that he used intimidation and excessive control over them.

The post Ye(t) another scandal – Kanye West faces $3M sexual harassment lawsuit appeared first on www.israelhayom.com.

Donald Trump is betting he can win his way back to the White House by reviving the outsider appeal that fueled his success in 2016.

But his dinner with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and a rapper who has spewed antisemitic conspiracies is demonstrating the risks of that approach. It underscores the dangers of his limited campaign operation and leaves the former president subject to stinging criticism from fellow Republicans who increasingly see him as a liability for their party after a lackluster showing in this year's midterm elections.

In an acknowledgment of the severity of the backlash and an effort to prevent a repeat, Trump's campaign is putting new protocols in place to ensure that those who meet with him are approved and fully vetted, according to people familiar with the plans who requested anonymity to share internal strategy. The changes will include expediting a system, borrowed from Trump's White House, in which a senior campaign official will be present with him at all times, according to one of the people.

The decision follows the anger and handwringing from people close to Trump over how the former president became embroiled in scandal just two weeks after launching his third campaign for the White House under the cloud of numerous investigations. And it highlights their concerns about Trump's vulnerability as GOP strategists and officials increasingly conclude that new leadership is the party's best hope for winning in future elections.

"Republicans, we're looking to 2024 and we're looking for a winner," said New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, who blasted Trump's dinner as "absolutely reprehensible."

"I think it makes him even less electable in November of 2024," he said.

Trump has repeatedly said he did not know until after the fact that he had had dinner with Nick Fuentes, the far-right activist who has used his online platform to spew antisemitic and white nationalist rhetoric. Fuentes arrived by car with Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, and was waved into the club by security, even though only Ye had been on the security list, according to one of the people present and others briefed on the events. (Fuentes apparently did not show his ID and the car's driver, a frequent guest at the club, got in using a credit card after misplacing her license.)

Some aides had advised Trump against meeting with Ye, who has made his own antisemitic comments. But the two have a longstanding relationship and Trump rebuffed the advice. They were supposed to meet one-on-one in the club's library, but Trump, eager to show off his celebrity guest to his paying club members, decided to divert the group to the club's main patio dining area. Fuentes joined the dinner at Ye's invitation.

Trump is no stranger to controversies of his own creation. His 2016 campaign was fueled by an endless cycle of outrage. Trump would make an inflammatory statement, calling for Muslims to be banned from entering the country, saying John McCain was " not a war hero " because he was captured in Vietnam, or asserting an Indiana-born federal judge had " an absolute conflict " on a case because of his "Mexican heritage." Those comments would spur days of media coverage as critics responded with outrage, keeping Trump in the news.

But the political landscape is fundamentally different now. Trump is no longer a political outsider or newcomer. He's a member of a most elite circle and a seasoned politician mounting what is now his third campaign for the office. And after nearly eight years of his dominating the news cycle, many in his party and the voting public are tired of the constant drama and chaos.

"If you have people who are constantly creating distractions and taking you off message and forcing people to answer questions like the ones that you're asking, that's not a good thing," South Dakota Sen. John Thune, the No. 2 Senate Republican, told reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.

And While Trump has advised aides that he wants to try to recapture the energy of his first campaign, when he was the anti-establishment outsider fighting better-financed and organized rivals, the Mar-a-Lago episode revealed the limits of his threadbare operation, which has yet to hold a single public event since Trump's announcement two weeks ago.

Trump's team had planned to wait until the new year to begin building out a more robust and regimented campaign operation. But while no travel has been planned through the end of the year, aides are stepping up their efforts to ensure the people he meets with have been screened and that the former president is staffed by a rotating set of campaign aides, which is something that had not been expected to begin until January.

In the aftermath of the dinner meeting, several GOP senators had said those responsible for the meeting should be fired. Longtime allies not involved in the campaign questioned how Fuentes was able to access the club and why nobody seemed aware of his presence or warned Trump against meeting with him.

So far, Trump has refused to condemn the views of either visitor, despite growing condemnation from his party, including calls for an apology from his former Vice President Mike Pence.

In an interview with Fox News Digital Tuesday, Trump said again that he had "never heard of" Fuentes. "I had no idea what his views were and they weren't expressed at the table in our very quick dinner, or it wouldn't have been accepted," he said.

On Tuesday, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters, "There is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy," and "anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgment, are highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the Untied States."

"The president can have meetings with who he wants," added House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, "but I don't think anyone should have a meeting with Nick Fuentes, and his views are nowhere within the Republican Party and within this country itself."

Amid pressure to denounce David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan leader who endorsed his 2016 campaign, for instance, Trump was heard assuring former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie "that he would get to it, but that it didn't have to happen too quickly," reporter Maggie Haberman recounted in her book, "Confidence Man." "A lot of these people vote," Trump reportedly said.

"Mr. Trump isn't going to change, and the next two years will inevitably feature many more such damaging episodes," The Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote on Sunday. "Republicans who continue to go along for the ride with Mr. Trump are teeing themselves up for disaster in 2024."

Rapper Kanye West on Tuesday voted for himself as the next US president after a long-shot campaign marked by erratic statements and speculation that he might siphon some black votes from Democrat Joe Biden.

Late on Tuesday evening, the singer and fashion designer appeared to concede his 2020 bid had ended but suggested his quest was not over. He posted a picture of himself in front of an electoral map saying "WELP KANYE 2024."

Earlier, the singer and fashion designer tweeted that he was "voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it's for someone I truly trust ... me."

He later posted video of himself casting his vote in Cody, Wyoming, where he wrote himself in on the ballot.

Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft notified West his office had verified 6,557 signatures in support of West's bid to be listed as an independent candidate for president. Missouri law requires at least 10,000 valid signatures.

"Therefore, you do not qualify to have your name placed on the November 3, 2020 general election ballot," a letter from Ashcroft's office to West says.
