He also condemned the recent anti-Semitic outburst from rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and said that former President Donald Trump was wrong for recently having dinner with the musician.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the oldest disease,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cIt\u2019s been around as a systemic ideology for around 2500 years, 500 years before the rise of Christianity, actually. So it\u2019s accompanied our history, with horrific results, over the centuries, and it\u2019s not gonna go away\u2026 But I think that free societies have to take a consistent position to condemn anti-Semitism, to stand up against it, and to do so consistently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the melding, the fusion of the anti-Semitism from the extreme radical left and the extreme radical right,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt fuses into Jew-hatred. The communists blame the Jews for being capitalist, the capitalists blame the Jews for being communist. You have a problem, blame the Jews\u2026 It\u2019s gotten extra life, probably, in the United States and in other countries by the age of the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu went on to criticize former President Trump for hosting Ye, who has made multiple odious comments attacking Jewish people and praising Nazis in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not merely unacceptable, it\u2019s just wrong, and I hope he sees his way to staying out of it and condemning it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Netanyahu seemed to pin the blame squarely on Ye, speculating that his recent outbursts were more about his personality than how he really views the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhoever says it, for whatever reason, it\u2019s wrong. You don\u2019t praise [Adolf] Hitler. How can you praise Hitler? Hitler was the greatest mass killer of all time. So anybody who praises him is wrong. Anybody who meets with him and gives him legitimacy is wrong. I\u2019ve said as much, and I\u2019ll continue to say it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In early October, Ye claimed on Instagram that fellow rapper Diddy was controlled by Jewish people. He later tweeted, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/video\/kanye-ye-west-apologizes-anti-223700055.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apologized,<\/a> for a tweet attacking Jewish people. Ye doubled down on the comments in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ye-west-turns-latest-interview-into-disturbing-anti-semitic-rant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> on the \u201cDrink Champs Round Three\u201d podcast, claiming that \u201cJewish people have owned the black voice.\u201d Last week, Ye walked out of an interview on the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-kanye-ye-west-storms-out-of-tim-pool-interview-after-being-pressed-about-his-anti-semitic-views\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Timcast IRL<\/a>\u201d podcast after being pressed on his anti-Semitic comments.
