Jewish organisations against Kanye West concert planned for Prague

Czechia’s Federation of Jewish Communities has come out against a planned concert by US rapper Kanye West in Prague. The organisation said it was unacceptable for somebody who has publicly expressed sympathy for Nazism to perform in a country that experienced the Holocaust.

The artist, who goes by the name Ye, is due to appear at the horse track in Prague’s Cuchle district on July 25.

Other European countries have banned Kanye West from performing over his racist and anti-Semitic statements. He has also sold swastika T-shirts and released a track called Heil Hitler.
