When asked if Kanye’s hatred is just a fringe belief, Rabbi Menken said: “They are for sure not just fringe beliefs, there’s a large segment…when the Monsey machete attacker and the Jersey City gunman and 95% of the random violence…in Brooklyn is coming from that community, it is obvious that there is incitement going on within that community.”
He added, “It’s not as if what Kanye has to say is radically different than Farrakhan and Ilhan Omar.”
