Rapper Kanye West walked out of a interview on Monday after he was asked to defend remarks he made suggesting a Jewish cabal controlling media and finance was unfairly targeting him.<\/p>\n

He appeared on a livestreamed episode of Tim Pool’s Timcast podcast alongside Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and far-right white supremacist Milo Yiannopoulos, who is West’s campaign adviser for his 2024 presidential bid.<\/p>\n

West, who now goes by Ye, has repeatedly attacked, mocked, and threatened Jews in recent weeks. He lost major brand partnerships with the German sportswear giant Adidas and US retailer Gap over recent antisemitic statements, and associations with extremists.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m getting hosed down every day by the press, and financially,\u201d West said, adding, \u201cI found out that they tried to put me in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they’ve been extremely unfair to you,\u201d Pool conceded.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is ‘they,’ though?\u201d Ye challenged. \u201cWe can’t say who ‘they’ is, can we?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe press,\u201d Pool stressed. \u201cI don’t use the word as the way I guess you guys use [it]\u201d<\/p>\n

Fuentes then chimed in, \u201cIt is them though, isn’t it?\u201d to which Pool responded swiftly, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean it’s not?\u201d West said.<\/p>\n

As Pool began to respond, apparently by challenging West to defend his remarks, the latter got up and walked out.<\/p>\n

One of the other guests can then be heard saying to Pool, \u201cAre you afraid of the press?\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\u201cYou guys want to bring that stuff up and think we’re not going to have a conversation?\u201d Pool said after West left. \u201cYou think Ye’s gonna come in here and say, ‘Here’s my pain, here’s my suffering’\u2026 and it was Jewish people. I’m not gonna do this. I refuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fuentes and Yiannopoulos also walked out.<\/p>\n

Earlier, West said that Jewish people suffer \u201cpain\u201d over the Holocaust, then continued, \u201cI just gotta go right to the heart of this antisemite claim that’s happening. This is something, if you read the definition, it says you can’t claim that there’s multiple people inside of banks, or in media that are all Jewish, or you’re antisemitic. And that’s the truth. Like, it’s the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said those who question the \u201cindoctrination\u201d are \u201cdemonized\u201d and referred to a controversial antisemitic documentary that was promoted on social media by basketball player Kyrie Irving, who apologized after being suspended by his team, the Brooklyn Nets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat’s so beautiful about this time is everyone got to see what’s really been happening,\u201d West said. \u201cAnd now we can really understand, we can see that Rahm Emanuel was next to [Barack] Obama and Jared Kushner was right next to [Donald] Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emanuel was the Obama administration chief of staff, while Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, was a special adviser to the former president. Both happen to be Jewish.<\/p>\n

During the podcast West clarified that his dinner meeting with Trump last week was scheduled before the recent controversy over antisemitism.<\/p>\n

Fuentes was also present at the dinner, though Trump later claimed he did not know who he was.<\/p>\n

Fuentes has questioned the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust and asserts that Israel has a malicious influence on US policy. His YouTube channel was permanently suspended in early 2020 for violating the platform’s hate speech policy. He attended the racist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 and the Stop the Steal rally on January 6 that led to the insurrection at the Capitol.<\/p>\n

Fuentes produces the \u201cAmerica First\u201d podcast, which he has used to accumulate a large following known as the \u201cGroyper Army.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Israeli politics told straight\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

I joined The Times of Israel after many years covering US and Israeli politics for Hebrew news outlets.<\/p>\n

I believe responsible coverage of Israeli politicians means presenting a 360 degree view of their words and deeds \u2013 not only conveying what occurs, but also what that means in the broader context of Israeli society and the region.<\/p>\n

That’s hard to do because you can rarely take politicians at face value \u2013 you must go the extra mile to present full context and try to overcome your own biases.<\/p>\n

I’m proud of our work that tells the story of Israeli politics straight and comprehensively<\/strong>. I believe Israel is stronger and more democratic when professional journalists do that tough job well.<\/p>\n

Your support for our work by joining The Times of Israel Community<\/strong> helps ensure we can continue to do so.<\/p>\n

Thank you,
