Jewish advocate slams SoFi Stadium for hosting Ye’s concert
NY Post
In choosing to host a Kanye West concert, SoFi Stadium has chosen to “spit in the face of every Jewish person in Los Angeles,” according to politician and advocate Sam Yebri.
West announced he would appear in Los Angeles for a one-night performance at the massive Southern California venue on April 3 in a social media post shared Monday.
The concert is the 48-year-old rapper’s first live show in the city in five years, and members of the Jewish community aren’t happy about it given the vile, antisemitic comments West has made over years.
“Sofi hosting a Ye concert after his years of hate-filled vitriol and Nazi-inspired music spits in the face of every Jewish person in Los Angeles,” Yebri, a former city council candidate and Jewish advocate, told The California Post.
“Events need venues. Venues make choices. Sofi made a despicable choice,” he added. “Would Sofi host a neo-Nazi rally or ISIS convention too?”
The former city council candidate said unless West planned to use the concert to apologize for the his hateful comments, anyone who attends the event is no better than the rapper.

“Everyone is worrying about what comes next,” reports David Patrikarakos at The Free Press of what people in Iran are telling him. He talked to “a friend in Tehran I will call Reza. ‘The bombing is heavy,’ he told me. ‘And it’s frightening. But we have been frightened and terrorized for almost 50 years.’ ” No one sees any “signs of mass uprising — it’s just too dangerous” as “gangs of Basij enforcers, often heavily armed, roam the streets, threatening civilians and forcing them indoors.” Indeed, “the entire regime is now on a war footing,” but: “The state is in disarray. Senior officials are scattered and confused” and “an internal power struggle appears to be under way.” He concludes: “Despite the Islamic Republic’s best efforts, the battle for Iran — by both external powers and Iranians inside the country — is far from over. It may take time, but I am convinced this regime will fall.”
