Americans react as Kanye West returns to Instagram to say that he “likes Jewish people again” after watching Jonah Hill in the movie “21 Jump Street”

Kanye West returns to Instagram to say that he “likes Jewish people again” after watching Jonah Hill in the movie “21 Jump Street”. (Read More Here).

After a number of increasingly unhinged antisemitic rants last year, Kanye West has declared that he’s alright again with Jews after watching a movie with Jonah Hill.

In an Instagram post Saturday, the rapper shared a promotional poster for “21 Jump Street,” a 2012 crime comedy in which the Jewish actor costarred alongside Channing Tatum.

Though West is a chronic deleter of social media posts, let’s take a look at this beauty while we still can. Like the Torah itself, it’s worth scrutinizing this line by line. (The image is taken from the British DVD/Blu-ray cover for some reason; note the 15 rating from the British Film Classification Office.) Additionally, if one has listened to many of West’s diatribes in the past (as, unfortunately, I have), you’ll hear an unusual rhetorical flourish of him never saying “a Jew” or even “Jewish.” It’s always just “Jew.” If it was once or twice, fine, but it feels to me like it is a linguistic decision (like Trump saying “Democrat party”) that is intended to have a little more sting.

West continued with, “Thank you Jonah Hill I love you.” 21 Jump Street grossed $202 million at the worldwide box office back in 2012, and most would agree that it is an amusing motion picture. (V.F. did feel, at the time, that its reliance on “no homo!” humor was not its finest attribute.) In addition to Hill, it co-starred Channing Tatum, Brie Larson, Rob Riggle, and Ice Cube. The wacky update of the more straightforward (though still silly!) teen cop drama from the 1980s was the first live action project from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and was enough of a hit to inspire a sequel. Hill has a shared “story by” credit on the film. “Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again,” Ye wrote. “No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people.”

It was not clear who he was referring to.

“No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew,” Ye added.

He also thanked Jonah Hill, saying, “I love you.”
