Just hours after praising Hitler and Nazis in an Infowars interview, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, took to Twitter to share a photo of a swastika embedded in a Star of David.

“YE24 LOVE EVERYONE #LOVESPEECH”, he captioned the tweet containing the symbol, which appeared to be a 2024 presidential campaign logo.

Shortly after, Ye posted a screenshot of a text message from Twitter CEO Elon Musk telling him, “Sorry, but you have gone too far.”

“This is not love,” Musk added.

Ye shot back at Musk, “who made you the judge?”

Ye apparently departed Twitter with a final post including a photo of Musk with Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel and stating, “Let’s always remember this as my final tweet #ye24.”

During the Infowars interview, Ye made antisemitic remarks in reference to Emanuel.

Police said the incident at Chabad of Northwest Seattle is not currently being investigated as a hate crime.
“This does nothing to help Israelis and Palestinians make peace,” said Avi Posnick, executive director of StandWithUs Northeast.
“It is critical that we do not continue to rely on failed systems that have further entrenched the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” the legislators wrote.
“I never imagined making a Jewish film about Woody Guthrie,” Steven Pressman told JNS. “We started finding out all these threads. It just opened my eyes completely.”
“Our police officers were placed at significant risk being in a gunfight armed with 9 mm Glocks against long arms,” the New South Wales Police deputy commissioner told an antisemitism inquiry.
“The city has been overrun with people openly calling for ‘intifada,’ which is Jew-hate,” a participant told JNS. “The city should be safe for everyone.”
