Piers Morgan's extraordinary interview with Kanye West on TalkTV surprised viewers worldwide.
Morgan tweeted a link to the exclusive interview with West on Wednesday. The superstar rapper said at the beginning of the video that "you don't hold accountability to my pain. You're being a Karen". A pejorative term to call a white person who allegedly feels entitled, "Karen" usually refers to women but can also refer to men, who are more often called a "Ken".
Morgan replied, "I'm not a 'Karen' and I'm not going to cancel you. I'm simply going to challenge you on what you are saying. I think you understand the pain that you've been causing with some of these comments".

West has made numerous antisemitic comments in his rants on social media. More recently, he tweeted, "I'm a bit sleeping tonight but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 on Jewish people". He also warned Jews about toying with him as well as saying that Jewish Zionists control the media.
During the interview, West tries to justify his antisemitic comments by saying that no-one knows the pain that Black people went through during the Civil War. "One form of racism doesn't justify another", Morgan exclaimed while West tried to cut in.
"I was in a position where I've been hurt and this is the way I had the right to express myself", West fired back. "The point of this interview is for you to question me and then for me to answer and say, 'OK, even though the same rules are not applied to my people, if a person with a gun or drugs is pulled over and has three or four other people in the car, they're all going to jail'. I'm not going to apply that to Jewish people for the sake of this conversation. Isn't that what you wanted? But you know what you did? You tried to 'Civil Rights' me", Kanye said.
After arguing back and forth, West asked Morgan, "How much are you worth?". Morgan then replied, "Not as much as you". West fired back at Morgan by telling him to take his advice rather than the other way around.
Does Kanye West apologise?
Morgan then swings the conversation back by saying, "I think all racism is wrong. If you've now changed what you wanted to say originally, my question for you is, do you now regret saying 'death con 3 on Jewish people'? Are you sorry you said that?"
West's answer has surprised viewers worldwide - "No. Absolutely not.".
"You know, I will say I'm sorry for the people that I hurt with the death con. That I caused hurt and confusion", he started saying, "and I'm sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through, and that I use my platform, where you say 'hurt people', hurt people and I was hurt".

Jews 'own banks, they own the media' says model Carmen Ortega
She also shared a tweet by Candace Owens to her Instagram story, saying, "Who runs the banks? How many more times will I be right about these people?".

American model and fashion designer Carmen Ortega Baljian spread an antisemitic conspiracy theory on her Instagram page of 2.5 million followers last week. "They own banks, they own the media, and in our politics heavy. Who's awake yet?", she said.
She also shared a tweet by Candace Owens to her Instagram story, saying, "Who runs the banks? How many more times will I be right about these people?" Owens, who recently defended rapper Ye for his "death con 3 to Jewish people" tweet, tweeted that the rapper was kicked out of the JP Morgan Chase bank.
Ortega also recently said on another Instagram story post, "Have short version of the Talmud just in case anyone has any more doubts. It's time to wake up baby. What's happening to Kanye is a direct example of everything. So when I'm always preaching stop voting pro-Israel.
"You are supporting the very people or the people's people that think it's okay to do what they are doing to him. Our government is infiltrated with the same type of evil. Be intelligent. The truth is antisemitic. Let that sink in", she said.
Response to Ortega's antisemitism
Non-profit organisation Stop Antisemitism said that "this is just a small example of disputing your antisemitic conspiracy theories of Jewish power and control. Your rhetoric is putting the lives of Jews in jeopardy and with a verified following of 2.5 million, you need to do better, esp. as a marginalised woman yourself."
In a tweet sharing Ortega's post, the organisation said, "This online hatred often inspires others to commit murder as we have seen from Tree of Life, Poway, & Parkland.".

Canada police investigating after a swastika was painted on an election sign
This is the second reported hate-related incident during the election cycle in Hamilton, Ontario.
Investigation is ongoing after a Hamilton, Ontario council candidate’s campaign sign was vandalised. The sign targeting Walter Furlan was reportedly found on Thursday with a swastika painted on Furlan's forehead and a moustache to make him look like Hitler. This is the second reported hate-related incident during the election cycle, according to local media.

The vandalism comes after a sticker saying "white people first" was put on a sign earlier this month by another Hamilton candidate, who is Black. This vandalism appeared to be connected to a larger white supremacist propaganda campaign.
Canadian Jews under attack
Jewish Canadians remain the most targeted religious minority for hate crimes, and second overall, according to Canada’s national statistical agency. Statistics Canada released data in August showing that overall, hate crimes in 2021 targeting religious groups increased by 67% from 2020, breaking a three-year downturn. Incidents targeting the Jewish community grew a dramatic 47% since then, and cumulatively 59% over the last two years. This shows that about four people out of every 3,000 members of Canada’s Jewish community report being the target of a hate crime in 2021.
There are approximately 380,000 Jews in Canada, representing barely 1% of the population, yet members of the Jewish community were victims of 14% of all reported hate crimes in 2021.
