Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist who promoted false conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook school massacre, invited Kanye West, a rapper who peddles antisemitism, onto his online chat show today.
For months now, West has been using his sizeable public platform to spread hate, including a tweet declaring he would go "death con 3 on Jewish people.", a well-known white supremacist and Holocaust denier, to a dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Republican candidate for president, Donald Trump. Trump, who only launched his campaign last month, has yet to clearly and unequivocally denounce the incident.
When you add it all up, advocates are warning this is what the normalization of antisemitism looks like. "Somebody who may be more closeted about it feels, 'Oh, I can be more mainstream, I can be very public about it, I can act on it.'" "Recent incidents have highlighted the enduring threat to faith-based communities, including the Jewish community. In early November 2022, an individual in New Jersey was arrested for sharing a manifesto online that threatened attacks on synagogues," the Nov. 30 report says.
Since the start of the pandemic, he said he has personally experienced an increase in antisemitic threats."It's the fact that I'm a COVID scientist and I develop COVID vaccines, so there's an additional layer of antisemitism directed against conspiracies around COVID origins and COVID vaccines," he said during an interview from his office in Houston.
