Hollywood Condemns Kanye West for Anti-Semitic Merchandise

Kanye West has ignited controversy again after selling a T-shirt featuring a swastika on his Yeezy website and launching a series of anti-Semitic rants on social media. In response, digital marketers Guy Bar and Ori Bejerano created a viral AI-generated video depicting various Jewish celebrities condemning West's actions, although the project was done without the stars' consent. The video features AI versions of stars such as Scarlett Johansson and David Schwimmer, who wear a mock T-shirt that parodies West's design, and concludes with Adam Sandler giving the middle finger while advocating against anti-Semitism. The backlash against West has included widespread condemnation from Hollywood, with many celebrities speaking out against his inflammatory behavior. Additionally, there is ongoing debate about the implications of using AI to create likenesses of individuals without permission, overshadowing the intended protest against West's anti-Semitism. Critics, including the Anti-Defamation League, have condemned West's actions as harmful and a continuation of his anti-Semitic rhetoric.
