On Friday, the union took the rare step of condemning one of its own members &ndash; Ye, formerly known as Kanye West &ndash; for making antisemitic statements. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I like Hitler,&rdquo; the Grammy-winning rapper said recently on a right-wing talk show, adding, &ldquo;I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.&rdquo; He also tweeted in October that he would go &ldquo;death con 3 on Jewish people.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Related Story<\/h4>\n<h3>Ari Emanuel Condemns Kanye West, GOP, Conspiracy Theories &amp; &#8220;Normalization Of White Supremacy, Antisemitism &amp; Racism&#8221; In America<\/h3>\n<p>&ldquo;SAG-AFTRA abhors and condemns the antisemitic statements being made by Ye, formerly known as Kanye West,&rdquo; the guild said in a statement. &ldquo;The use of antisemitic imagery and tropes by high-profile individuals on social media and elsewhere is not harmless ranting. It is ignorant, hateful and has real-world consequences. The tired debunked stereotypes peddled by Ye and others only serve to further divide us as a country and debase us as a society.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: Kanye West&rsquo;s Antisemitic Messages Condemned By Anti-Defamation League &amp; The Black Jewish Entertainment Alliance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Hate speech and the use of hate imagery&nbsp;is often a precursor to violence. The normalization and mainstreaming of anti-Semitic and racist views has already resulted in a rise in violence against Jewish people and organizations in this country and elsewhere. Such viewpoints and statements are unacceptable by anyone and SAG-AFTRA stands with and supports the Jewish community in fighting against prejudice, hate speech, and threats of violence from any source.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You need only look back less than a century to see evidence of what happens when antisemitic ideas are allowed to proliferate unchecked.
