In the annals of antisemitism, the events of recent days — Kanye West’s profession of love for Adolph Hitler and the Nazis to Alex Jones, of all people — are above and beyond anything we’ve seen in American culture in years, perhaps decades. There is real fear out there.
The horrors of World War II, including the Holocaust, have become a subject of debate not what they were: the height of man’s inhumanity to man. Ye’s commentary also, on a micro level, keeps the issue of Kyrie Irving’s promotion/publicizing of an antisemitic video, for which he has repeatedly apologized, in the news.
