LOS ANGELES — Three banners were placed on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles over the weekend in support of rapper Kanye West.
One said, "Kanye is right about the Jews." Another had, "Honk if you know." A third promoted a streaming platform that displays antisemitic content run by the Goyim Defense League, KTTV and NBC News reported.
According to the news outlets, several people standing behind the banners were seen giving a Nazi salute.
Nonprofit StopAntisemitism.org said GDL placed the banners there on Saturday, the news outlets reported.
The banners are in reference to the Grammy-winning artist's recent antisemitic tweets.
On Oct. 8, West, who now goes by Ye, tweeted “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE."
