Kanye West says he’s no longer an anti-Semite, and we obviously have Jonah Hill to thank.
“Looking inside Jonah Hill 21 Jump Street made me Jewish again,” West wrote in an Instagram post early Saturday morning.
“No one should take anger against one or two individuals and turn it into hatred against millions of innocent people. No Christian can be labeled anti-Semitic even if they know that Jesus was Jewish. Thank you Jonah Hill I love you.
Throughout 2022, West published a series of anti-Semitic comments and promoted anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. As a result, he lost a billion dollars in net worth and lucrative brand partnerships with GAP, Adidas and Balenciaga. He is without a record deal, has been dropped by his talent agency, and a string of scheduled concerts have been canceled.
Earlier this year, the Anti-Defamation League issued a statement It insists that at least 30 hate incidents can be directly linked to the West’s comments.
Hill, born to Jewish parents, starred in 2012 21 Jump Street Opposite Channing Tatum and Brie Larson.
