Singer and entrepreneur Kanye West rose to fame for pushing contentious narratives on social media. Last week, he took his antics to new levels on Infowars. He explained to the audience how much he liked Adolf Hitler and argued against demonizing him. Mr. West continued, "I see nice things about Hitler," in what can only be described as a revolting act of antisemitism. He created the roadways. Aside from that, "He [Hitler] had a really cool costume and stuff... and he didn't slaughter six million Jews."

Such words, with their ignorance and malevolent foolishness, defy reason, let alone common decency. The motivation behind West's comments is clear; they imply that any atrocities done to Jews were not only acceptable but also encouraged to continue.
