WATCH: Viral AI video hits back at Kanye West's latest antisemitic stunt

In a scathing response to Kanye West's latest antisemitic provocations - including a Super Bowl ad directing viewers to a swastika-emblazoned shirt - a viral AI-generated video is turning heads worldwide. The video, created by AI experts Uri Bejerno and Guy Bar, shows prominent Jewish celebrities wearing shirts featuring a middle finger and "Kanye" emblazoned across them, set to the defiant tune of "Hava Nagila."

The timing couldn't be more pointed: West recently resumed his antisemitic tirades on social media, praising Hitler and identifying as a Nazi before attempting to capitalize on Super Bowl attention to promote hate symbols. His online store was subsequently removed from Shopify, and his Twitter account suspended.

Despite its artificial origins - clearly labeled by both Twitter and Instagram as AI-generated content - the video has exploded across social media, garnering millions of views and shares, including from rapper 50 Cent. The creators' indignation is palpable in their message: "F*ck you Kanye West... It's time to stop being silent and respond to antisemites like Kanye West in the strongest possible way."

However, the viral sensation has sparked its own controversy. Jewish content creator Zack Sage criticized the video for depicting celebrities who've remained conspicuously silent on recent antisemitic issues: "Almost all these 'Jewish' stars have been silent since October 7... This video is a lie and most of these people don't deserve a drop of credit for fighting against Jew-hatred."

The AI-generated video features an array of Jewish celebrities, including David Schwimmer, Steven Spielberg, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Adam Sandler, Scarlett Johansson, Drake, Jerry Seinfeld, Ben Stiller, and Adam Levine. While some, like Seinfeld and Schwimmer, have actively spoken out against antisemitism, most have maintained their silence in the face of West's continued provocations.

Created using AI tools Grok, Kling, Sono, and Capcut, the video has generated extensive media coverage, including articles in the New York Post and Forbes. Its creators argue that it's time to stop treating West's behavior as mere spectacle: "We must stop turning Kanye West into a sensation and gimmick – he is dangerous, and it's time to treat him as such."
