Kanye West returns to Instagram, says he 'likes Jewish people again'
Controversial American rap legend Kanye West has
returned to Instagram with a curious statement on his current feelings towards
Jews.
West, who has been banned from Instagram on
and off again over his controversial views on Jewish people, Saturday morning
made a post claiming that watching actor Jonah Hill in the 2012 movie 21 Jump
Street made him "like Jewish people again."
Accompanying the post with the movie's
promotional poster, West wrote,
“Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street made me like Jewish people again.
“No one should take anger against one or two
individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent
people.”
He continued: “No Christian can be labelled
antisemite knowing Jesus is a Jew. Thank you Jonah Hill. I love you.”
A serial social media law breaker, West
returned to Twitter in November, around the same time that his buddy Elon Musk
acquired the platform.
In a tweet, however, Musk claimed that the
rapper’s account was “restored by Twitter before the acquisition.”
Just a month later, West would later be
temporarily suspended from the platform, yet again, for “incitement to violence.”
On December 1 last year, Kanye West joined
American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his InfoWars talk show where he
shockingly admitted that he liked the notorious German butcher Adolf Hitler.
“I see good things about Hitler,” West, who
also goes by Ye, told Jones during the bizarre appearance. “Every human being
has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”
Ye was banned from Instagram a week after
making the comments. He was, however, allowed back on the platform not too long
after.
