Netanyahu's son calls on Kanye West to stop his reprehensible conduct
Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu, has responded to a social media post by Kanye West with a straightforward call for tolerance.That too was uncalled for. If it's unacceptable for somebody of Israeli descent to use the K-word for demeaning reasons, then it's unacceptable for somebody of Black descent to use the N-word either.
Rapper and former fashion mogul West has been at the center of a storm of controversy after a nearly month-long silence that began with Twitter removing a November 4 tweet in which he used the N-word.
Yair Netanyahu responded to West with an exposition on the world’s Jewish population and a personal plea for understanding in the face of previous attempts to characterize the Jewish people with ancient tropes and slurs.Yes, I really wish West would cut this out, because, if he's a supposed conservative, he's only providing ammunition to leftists to use against right-wingers. I just don't understand how people like him don't realize that. West has been a major disappointment when here, he could've been an inspiration. One of the biggest problems is that he won't make any proper distinctions between liberals/conservatives. And that's surely one of the main reasons why West has now faced such a downfall in his career.
He outlined in a series of tweets:
There are 14 million Jews in the world. Some of us are conservative, some are liberal. Some are patriots and some are globalists. There are good and bad ppl in every faith and nationality. I understand u have a problem with a few Jews in Hollywood. What does that got to do with the “Jewish people”? What does that got to do with millions of Jewish babies and children? What does it got to do with millions of Israelis who never been been to America and has nothing to do with Hollywood?
I myself am a conservative Israeli Jew, who fight for years against the globalists (Jews and non Jews alike), for stronger national identity in Israel, Europe and US, and against woke progressive crazy cancel cloture. I support strengthening Christian identity in USA and Europe. My father is one of the world’s most prominent CONSERVATIVE leaders. BTW, every single DNA study of the Jewish ppl (Askenazi and Sephardic), shows the Jewish ppl came from the levant area, and that they are the descendants of the ancient Hebrews from the Bible.
So Kanye – stop this BS
Update: since we're on the topic of West, a whole controversy came up about him being invited to Donald Trump's estate at Mar-A-Lago, and bringing white supremacist Nick Fuentes with him. Yes, that same Fuentes whom Michelle Malkin associated with, which precipitated the downfall of her career. Honestly, after all that's occurred of recent, did Trump have to do this? Just plain irresponsible.
Update 2: former ambassador David Friedman urged Trump to throw out both West and Fuentes. And Friedman's right. Trump did not need to invite either of them.
