An anti-Semitism watchdog has named disgraced rapper Kanye West the “Antisemite of the Year.”
StopAntisemitism announced its annual selection on Sunday.
“Kanye West’s threats of violence, hateful conduct and hate speech all led him to winning this 12 months’s title,” said the organization in a video announcing the pick.

In an Oct. eight tweet, West, who has been dropped via Adidas and others, threatened to go “demise con three on JEWISH PEOPLE.”
In a remark that used to be edited out of an interview with Fox Information anchor Tucker Carlson, West said, “I desire my children knew Hannukah from Kwanzaa. At the least it will come with some financial engineering.” This echoed, as StopAntisemitism put it, “referencing antisemitic tropes of Jewish greed and obsessions of money.”
West parroted the anti-Semitic tropes of Jewish control of the media and Hollywood when he messaged fellow rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, “Ima use you for instance to show the Jewish those who advised you to name me that nobody can threaten of affect me.”
West, alongside white nationalist and anti-Semite Nick Fuentes, dined with former President Donald Trump closing month. West and Fuentes appeared on InfoWars with host Alex Jones in what was once a express of anti-Semitism and West expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler. It was once a express filled with anti-Semitism.
Following the show, West tweeted a picture of a Jewish star with a swastika within it. Twitter owner Elon Musk suspended him soon after that.
Showing on Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes’ podcast, West stated, “Jewish people, forgive Hitler lately. Let it go. Let it go. And prevent looking to power it on other people.”
“Mazel Tov Kanye West for propagating the most Jew-hatred in 2022 and winning this year’s dishonor,” stated StopAntisemitism within the video.
