<\/a>Ye Moves Forward With Portugal Concert Despite Calls for Cancellation From Israeli Ambassador<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nShiryn Ghermezian<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Ye\u2019s concert scheduled for this Friday in Algarve, Portugal, is set to take place as planned even after Israel\u2019s Embassy in Portugal called for its cancellation and accused the musician, formerly known as Kanye West, of spreading hate speech.<\/span><\/p>\n The embassy urged citizens not to attend the show at Algarve Stadium and said the scheduled performance, part of Ye\u2019s European tour, would be \u201ca disgrace for Portugal and for the Portuguese.\u201d In a Portuguese-language video posted on social media on Thursday, Israel\u2019s Ambassador to Portugal Oren Rozenblat cited some of Ye\u2019s past\u00a0offensive and antisemitic comments,<\/a>\u00a0accused him of glorifying Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, promoting antisemitism and more.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSomeone who glorified Hitler, promoted antisemitism and claimed that slavery was a choice, a remark that deeply offended millions of descendants of slavery\u2019s victims. This is not provocation, it is hate speech,\u201d said Rozenblat. He then listed the other countries that have banned the artist from performing, and argued that \u201ca democratic society should not give a platform to someone who glorifies Hitler, promotes Nazism and defends antisemitism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The ambassador also asked if Portugal\u2019s citizens would attend the concert of an artist who supported hatred against other communities. \u201cWould you buy a ticket for an artist who promoted hatred against Black people, against Muslims, against Christians or against LGBT people?\u201d he asked. \u201cIf the answer is no, why should it be any different when the target is Jews?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Last year, Ye\u00a0sold shirts with swastikas<\/a>, released a song titled \u201cHeil Hitler,\u201d and published several antisemitic posts on social media in which he targeted Jews and expressed admiration for Nazism. He declared, \u201cI\u2019m a Nazi\u201d and said he \u201cliked Hitler.\u201d In January, he\u00a0apologized<\/a>\u00a0for his behavior and comments last year.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2022, Ye threatened violence against Jews in a social media post, praised Hitler in an interview with far-right talk show host Alex Jones and promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories\u00a0and stereotypes during an interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.<\/span><\/p>\n Ye has already had several concerts of his European tour cancelled this year. In scheduled gig this month in Italy was banned by the local authorities because of public order and security concerns. The artist was banned from performing in Australia last year and the\u00a0United Kingdom<\/a>\u00a0banned him recently, a decision that forced the cancellation of<\/span>\u00a0London\u2019s Wireless Festival that was set for this month. In Marseille, France, Ye\u00a0postponed<\/a>\u00a0a concert until further notice after being told by the city\u2019s mayor that he was \u201cnot welcome\u201d to perform there because of his \u201cunapologetic Nazism.\u201d Poland cancelled Ye\u2019s show that was scheduled for June, after the country\u2019s minister of culture criticized his antisemitic statement, and his recent concert in Switzerland was also cancelled.<\/span><\/p>\n Torcato Jorge, the CEO and co-founder of Raya Culture, which is organizing the concert in Portugal on Friday, previously told Euronews Culture the performance is \u201ca music event that\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt would become an issue if the services identified a national threat to public order, which is not the case,\u201d Jorge said. \u201cThere has to be a state internal security report saying that this citizen cannot enter the country \u2026 Each country is free to decide whether or not to allow a citizen to enter, but in the European Union there has been no country that has vetoed their entry into national territory.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Ye Moves Forward With Portugal Concert Despite Calls for Cancellation From Israeli Ambassador Shiryn Ghermezian Music artist Kanye West performs during a private concert at the Nokia Theatre in New York City August 29, 2006.
