U.K.’s Jewish Leadership Council Calls Three-Night Kanye West Booking at Wireless Festival ‘Deeply Irresponsible’

The group was joined by the Campaign Against Antisemitism in their condemnation of the booking of rapper who has repeatedly embraced pro-Nazi messaging and once sold swastika t-shirts.

The U.K.’s Jewish Leadership Council has issued a statement condemning the Wireless Festival for booking Ye (formerly Kanye West) as the headliner of all three nights (July 10-12) of the this year’s event at Finsbury Park in London. A spokesperson for the Council told the Guardian, “It is deeply irresponsible for Wireless festival to be headlining Kanye West. The UK Jewish community is facing record levels of antisemitism, including a terrorist attack in Manchester, the attack on ambulances in Golders Green and foiled plots which would have killed many more.”

West has a long history of making antisemitic statements, from releasing a song called “Heil Hitler,” to selling T-shirts with swastikas on them and declaring himself a Nazi.
