Last week he sampled and remixed a classic tune that has charted for over 3000 years \u2014 the lie that Jews are evil and conspire to control the world for their own gain. This song was performed acapella in the time of the Pharaohs, Babylon and Rome, went acoustic with The Spanish Inquisition and Russia\u2019s Pale of Settlement, and Hitler took the song electric. Kanye has now helped mainstream it in the modern era,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe silence from leaders and corporations when it comes to Kanye or antisemitism in general is dismaying but not surprising.
