Alex Jones, Kanye West Argue Over Nazis, Hitler

The artist formerly known as Kanye West continued his recent spate of antisemitic comments in an appearance on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' InfoWars on Thursday, praising Adolf Hitler and arguing that the genocidal Nazi regime was, in fact, good for the world.

In a highly touted appearance on the show, a masked Ye—appearing alongside well-documented antisemite and white nationalist Nick Fuentes—bizarrely claimed that Hitler invented microphones and highways, denigrated Jewish people and Israel, and praised the rule of the genocidal dictator, saying he "liked" Hitler and claiming nobody knew the meaning of anti-semitism until he started sharing conspiracy theories about the Jewish race in recent months.

"They did good things, too," Ye said of the Nazis. "We've got to stop dissing the Nazis all the time."

An occasionally flustered Jones—who has made aspersions to a "Jewish mafia" that controls the planet and made allusions to the "one world government" conspiracy theory often espoused by antisemitic groups—occasionally interceded, saying "we don't like Nazis" and attempting to cut off a bizarre Ye rant in which he mocked Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu with what appeared to be a giant net and a bottle of YooHoo chocolate milk.

At some junctures, Ye's comments were so inflammatory that even Jones pushed back following several minutes of the rapper accusing Jews of being pedophiles.

"I think most Jews are great people," Jones said. "But I agree there's a Jewish mafia."

"You've got a bit of a Hitler fetish going on," Jones added.

"It's not a fetish," Ye responded. "I just like information."

Ye and Fuentes—who has made numerous denigrating comments about Jewish people as well as other minority groups—claimed they were not antisemitic throughout the post, with Fuentes saying there are numerous "good" Jewish people out there, including conspiracy theorist and failed congressional candidate Laura Loomer.

At one point, Fuentes appeared to downplay the Germans' use of concentration camps, noting that the U.S. "had camps as well." He then claimed there was a Jewish cabal running numerous facets of modern society, and that Ye's comments did not cause any harm.

Ye also suggested that Democratic megadonor George Soros—a Jewish man who has become a boogeyman of the far right—could one day "come to Christ."

"I don't think Ye or I are saying that any group is particularly bad or that the Jews as a group are bad, but there are Jewish practices that are based on Jewish law, and there is clearly some kind of a Jewish mafia," Fuentes claimed.
