After months of antisemitic rants – Kanye West posts apology hours after DC murders

This also comes only two weeks after him releasing a single called “Heil Hitler” and months after having a Super Bowl commercial selling Swastika shirts.

Just hours after two Israeli Embassy staffers — Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim — were murdered in cold blood outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. by a terrorist shouting “Free Palestine,” rapper Kanye West (Ye) has taken to social media with a string of sudden, remorseful tweets:

“I am done with antisemitism”

“I love all people”

“God forgive me for the pain I’ve caused”

The timing has outraged many, especially given Ye’s long and public history of antisemitic rhetoric—and the fact that just last week he was posting pro-Palestine content to his millions of followers just last week amplifying narratives that demonize Israel and embolden anti-Jewish violence.

This also comes only 2 weeks after him releasing a single called “Heil Hitler” and months after having a Super Bowl commercial selling Swastika shirts.

Critics also point to his Super Bowl commercial earlier this year, in which Ye promoted a swastika-themed T-shirt, further fueling outrage and concern from Jewish communities and civil rights groups. That ad aired in front of a global audience of over 100 million people.

Ye’s antisemitic record is well-documented:

Declaring he would go “death con 3 on Jewish people”

Praising Hitler and claiming “every human has something of value, especially Hitler”

Denying the relevance of the Holocaust

Wearing “White Lives Matter” shirts

Teaming up with white supremacist figures

Posting pro-Hamas/Free Palestine propaganda just days before a deadly antisemitic terror attack in the U.S.

While some hope Ye’s tweets signal a sincere change of heart, most see them as too little, too late—a shallow attempt at damage control after helping normalize dangerous rhetoric that is now spilling into real-world violence.

“This isn’t repentance—it’s PR,” one Jewish leader said. “Kanye spent months mainstreaming hate, and now Jews are being murdered. His words lit the fire, and now he wants to walk away from the blaze.”
