JERUSALEM,Dec. 29, 2022/PRNewswire/ -- The西蒙•维森塔尔中心(SWC) released its annual Global anti-Semitism Top Ten list today inIsrael.This year saw a tremendous increase of Jew-hatred that infected mainstream culture, academics, and media across the world.
Topping the list this year is Ye, the artist formerly known asKanye West, for his continued anti-Semitic comments and leveraging his immense social media platform to weaponize hate, bigotry, and ignorance.
"The unprecedented mainstreaming of Jew-hatred on social media, led byKanye West(Ye) fueled anti-Semitic hate crimes, and normalized anti-Jewish hate speech," stated RabbiMarvin Hier, SWC Founder and CEO, and Rabbi亚伯拉罕有限公司oper, Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action at the SWC. "Politicians offer words of solace to Jewish victims but failed to take effective measures to curb the attacks, while UN diplomats, cultural and academic elite often legitimize hatred of the Jewish state."
Other organizations and individuals included on the Top Ten list include: The United Nations Human Rights Council;Mahmoud Abbasand the Palestinian Authority; Violent Attacks on Jews inNew York,Chicago,LondonandGermany; the Black Hebrew Israelite Movement, and Documenta Art.
