David Schwimmer, known for his role on “Friends,” has requested that Elon Musk prohibit Kanye West from using X, following a string of antisemitic posts made by the rapper on the platform last Friday.
“It’s not possible to prevent a radical, hate-filled individual from spreading harmful rhetoric, Mr. Musk, but we can certainly deprive him of his platform. Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s more than double the number of Jews in existence worldwide. The hate speech he promotes directly contributes to actual acts of violence against Jewish communities.”
West’s series of tweets contained statements such as “I’m like a Nazi” and “I admire Hitler.” West further declared that he will never retract his comments about Jews.
Afterward, the Anti-Defamation League, an organization working towards combating antisemitism outside of government, criticized the outburst as “an unmistakable and unquestionable expression of hatred.
In a formal statement, Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, stated, “We’re all too familiar with this kind of game.” Essentially, he’s saying that Kanye West’s recent outburst filled with hate is nothing more than a desperate cry for attention, utilizing Jews as a convenient target. Regrettably, such rhetoric does garner attention because West has an extensive platform to propagate his antisemitism and hatred. It’s important to remember that words carry weight. History has shown us that inflammatory language can lead to harmful actions in reality.
The international advocacy organization representing Jewish beliefs, known as the American Jewish Committee, similarly issued a condemnation of West’s remarks.
The AJC stated, “Though some may disregard his hateful speeches, we must not ignore their potential for causing harm, especially on platforms like social media where modern-day antisemitism often flourishes. Untreated hate only grows stronger. Given the alarming rise of global antisemitism, Ye’s actions are putting Jews at risk. We urge individuals with similar influence, particularly those in the entertainment sector, to publicly condemn this obvious hatred.
