“We deal with worse problems than this stupidity”: Netanyahu comments on Kanye West's anti-Semitic tweets
Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called recent anti-Semitic comments by American rapper Kanye West “stupid” during his appearance on HBO’s ‘Real Time’ hosted by Bill Maher.
Asked whether Israel would respond to the controversial statements, the politician jokingly replied: “We have dealt with worse problems than this stupidity.”
“You have a problem, blame the Jews. They are old things. They should have no place in civilized discourse”, he added.
“That is the reason why we established the Jewish State, so that the Jewish people have a defense against these absurdities”, he declared.
Kanye’s account blocked
The Twitter platform confirmed the blocking of Kanye’s account Kanye West, after this Saturday, October 8, a message considered anti-Semitic published a message in which he threatened “the Jews”.
A similar situation cost him that his profile from Instagram (owned by Meta, an organization classified in Russia as extremist) was restricted on the same day.
The penalty came after a message, now deleted, in which the musician seemed to claim that the rapper and record producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is controlled by “the Jewish people”.
