On Friday night, rapper Talib Kweli Greene, who has 1.08 million followers on Twitter, started an unabashed rant on the definition of antisemitism and about how Jews enjoy white-privilege, which quickly spiraled into VERY anti-Israel vitriol and dare I say it, antisemitism. Take a look at a few samples.
Ok, so who is doing these mass shootings? Jews? https://t.co/epIzEHr391 pic.twitter.com/Gvr7ibo8Ax

Ain't no formula. Both Jews and Arabs come in all colors. Including white. But Jews are white far more often. Fact. https://t.co/hmTOpVnrYP

So why cling to a term invented by ppl who hated you? Just so it don't include Arabs? Seems psychotic. https://t.co/gilB86dIrA

Also in case you were wondering. He hates Israel with a passion.
It matters because it's wrong to act like only Jewish persecution is worth acknowledging. That's Zionist bullshit. https://t.co/m6YGTG72kE

Only zionists think their suffering is unique and they go thru persecution "alone" like other Semites don't exist https://t.co/GNIji1s3KO

If someone shows up with Zionist rhetoric and their name is phonetically "a real zionist" guess what they are. https://t.co/avkAsytnUz

Zionism is not self determination. It's racism. Period. https://t.co/ZFbNCDFgbd

Anyway, you get the point. What a douche.
He ranted on someone named Arielle Zionts because her name sounds like Zion. Someone should tell him his name sounds like Taliban.
