Israel’s head of state Izchak Herzog was relieved of the criticism of the rapper after anti-Semitic statements by Kanye West.
“So, objectively speaking, as an Israeli, as a Jew, as a person, I am very pleased. I am very pleased with this overwhelming response to Kanye West’s comments,” Herzog told CNN. “History teaches us that it usually starts with hating Jews.”
The Franconian sporting goods manufacturer Adidas recently ended its collaboration with Kanye “Ye” West because of anti-Semitic statements, among other things.
