In a post on Instagram, the artist formerly known as Kanye West has said he “likes Jewish people again” after watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street.
“Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street made me like Jewish people again,” wrote Ye in the caption for the post, which included the DVD cover of the 2012 comedy. “No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people. No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew. Thank you Jonah Hill I love you.”
Ye’s latest post comes after a tumultuous 2022 that saw him slip further into far-right rhetoric. He shared a number of anti-Semitic remarks throughout the year, starting with his threat to go “death con 3 on Jewish people.” He eventually went so far off the deep-end that he was interviewed by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on InfoWars, during which he stated he saw “good things about Hitler.”
