Noa Tishby is an Israeli actress, writer, producer, and activist, and last week she broadcast a video describing the Jewish community’s dismay at Kanye being glorified at the #SuperBowl, and in response, she received even more antisemitic attacks than she’d ever encountered.
Noa Tishby is Jewish, and she said that she watched the Super Bowl like a bunch of other people did, particularly because Rihanna was performing, but that as she watched her perform she began to feel incredibly uncomfortable, and that before the performance she saw social media posts calling Rihanna to bring Kanye on stage, but she thought that they’d probably know better than to perform songs by a guy who’s been so publicly antisemitic and who says that he loves Hitler.
Kanye called for Death Con 3 on Jewish people, and so much more, but Noa Tishby was wrong.
Rihanna’s first song ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ was produced by Kanye. Rihanna also performed ‘Run’, and ‘This Town’, which featured Kanye and then she started singing Kanye’s song ‘All Of The Lights’.
After the performance, that song was number one on iTunes after 13 years. So, this was essentially a tribute to Kanye West at the Super Bowl.
That’s when Noa Tishby recorded a video.
Rihanna has so many hit songs. Did she have to do a Kanye song?
The title post went viral and it got 20 million views and impressions across social media.
It was picked up by Newsweek and other media platforms.
Many of Noa Tishby’s followers were also upset by Rihanna’s song choice, but numerous Kanye supporters came after Noa Tishby with horrendous antisemitic attacks, but a lot of the comments were too offensive to share, but they included attacks on her religion, her home country, her looks, her son, and her safety was threatened.
She got numerous Free Palestine, and a ton mostly, shut the $@#%& up hashtag Jew. She also found that there are many, many Hitler enthusiasts out there. A lot, with a lot of Hitler references such as Hitler, should have finished the job.
But this was not news to her. This is an everyday thing and every single Jewish person knows precisely what Noa Tishby is talking about. She calls it being online while Jewish because if you broadcast anything about Jew hostility, you get back every single trope and insult in the book. And this is what happens. This is what occurs when people believe the antisemitic trope, the conspiracy theory about Jewish power and Jewish control. Because if you believe that, then aggression against Jews is totally okay.
And make no mistakes, what’s online, goes offline. With antisemitic taunts shouted out at high school soccer games. Mezuzahs ripped off, and pork left outside dorm rooms at the University of Denver.
And two people were shot outside a synagogue in Los Angeles. And that was just a taste of what’s been going down.
She said she wished we had as much control and power as some people believe that we do, but we don’t. Yet anti-Jewish hostility is now totally normalised, and she said: ‘So, let me be clear once again, anyone who promotes Jewish hatred should not be promoted at the Super Bowl.
To be honest we could do without Rihanna and Kanye West. They’re both overrated, and we actually don’t need them, or their music. There are plenty of other brilliant singers out there.
Rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, has posted antisemitic tropes on his social media accounts, shared antisemitic conspiracy theories with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, and later, on social media, threatened brutality against Jews.
And since launching a presidential bid during the week of Thanksgiving, he has gone on a media tour, going after Jewish people on podcasts and travelling with a posse of known antisemites.
In his latest appearance on the InfoWars talk show hosted by provocateur Alex Jones, Kanye West, alongside white supremacist Nick Fuentes, said people should quit dissing the Nazis and exalted Adolf Hitler.
Alex Jones, a far-right conspiracy theorist who’s been ordered to pay parents more than a billion dollars for insisting the carnage of their children in one of America’s deadliest school shootings was a hoax, pushed back on Kanye West’s praise, but made references to the Jewish mafia.
Later, Kanye West posted to Twitter a picture of a swastika combined with a Star of David. AJC called out the heinous Jew hatred on social media.
Why are we still giving Kanye West airtime, he’s obviously not well – pots of money, yet nobody in his life cares enough to intervene and get him some help.
No one has to collude to destroy his career, he’s doing that all by himself, and he’s on a destructive downward spiral and now it’s decomposing faster with every venom that escapes his lips, and why is anyone giving this fool interviews? Perhaps it’s to make him look like an even bigger fool, and he needs to beef up his security, otherwise, I can see another John Lennon moment coming up.
How can Kanye West be anti-semitic, he’s a man of colour, and he’d soon play the race card if it was his family that was being persecuted!
