The Holocaust Museum of Los Angeles said it has been flooded with antisemitic messages after artist Kanye West rejected their offer of a private tour.

The influx of hateful messages comes after West, who legally changed his name to Ye, made a series of antisemitic remarks. Despite his comments, Kean and the museum offered a private tour to West hoping that it would change his views.

"We know for a fact that education is the greatest catalyst for change," said Beth Kean, CEO of the Holocaust Museum of LA. . "When students and visitors come to the museum if they enter as bystanders they leave as upstanders. We know that."

Ye rejected the offer on the "Drink Champs Podcast" and reportedly said Planned Parenthood was his Holocaust museum.

"We publicly invited him to come to the museum and he publicly rejected our offer," Kean said.

Since extending the invitation, Kean said the museum has been flooded with hateful antisemitic messages on its social media pages.

"I think Kanye has more than double the amount of Twitter followers than there are Jews living in this world," Kean said. "People like Kanye have a huge platform, he has over 30 million Twitter followers and he needs to understand that he needs to use his words to inspire and not incite and to not perpetuate hate and lies and an antisemitism."

Experts believe the artist's actions have invigorated more antisemitic behavior including a stunt on the 405 freeway. On Saturday, a group of people flew a banner that stated "Kanye was right about the Jews," while also displaying Nazi salutes.

"It's infuriating that this is happening in our own backyard," said Kean.

Magen Am, a non-profit security team, said they have increased patrols in the Fairfax District's predominately Jewish neighborhoods. the group of more than 50 volunteers and veterans provides safety training and an armed response to dangerous situations.

"Doing everything we can to show that we're not afraid," said President and CEO Rabbi Yossi Eilfort. "We're a strong community and we won't act like victims.

West has faced public backlash for his comments and was dropped by his talent agency, Creative Artists Agency, because of his antisemitic comments -

Now…

I just wish it would stop man

When one of the most influential human beings on the planet openly aligns with the views of white supremacists, it generally allows said individuals to feel more comfortable publicly spouting those kind of views.

Fr

“I’m Me-Too’ing the Jewish Culture”

“George Soros controls the world and BLM”

Ye truly lost it

Why was he offered a private tour in the 1st place?

Nasty stuff to have your name attached to. Kanye gotta do some serious work to un-muddy his name.

So he could educate himself and understand why Jews were furious. They tried to redeem him but he refused.

It’s just sad

Agreed

Just speechless at this point

Elaborate what he might've from a museum based off the attempted extermination of people. Based off what he was saying I don't see the correlation.

To start off I think Ye has been promoting some anti-semitism and has been acting like he’s innocent lowkey (though he has apologized sorta)

Yeah but its not like He directed them to do this. He hasn’t SENT anyone to ATTACK ANYONE AT ALL. At most he said (weird comment) Jewish kids need to ask their Dad why Ye is mad at them
He is provoking and attacking the Jewish community but the point of them releasing this is to portray a certain Image of Ye. They know he didn’t send these folks to attack jewish people. It’s not like Trump who violently incites folks to attack. Ye has just been ranting without being sensible.

It’s sad but funny how some fans recognize Kanye’s cultural influence but fail to hold him accountable for abuse of this influence by spreading hate and misinformation for his own agenda.

ElChapoDeFacto just working overtime now.
