What Was The Meaning Of Defcon 3 In Kanye West Tweet?

American rapper Kanye West used the term “Defcon 3” recently and had his Twitter account suspended as a result.

The tweet had led to a controversy and an uproar in the Jewish community, because they think his tweet was racist and anti-Semitic.

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.

“The funny thing is I actually can’t be anti-Semitic because black people are actually Jews also.

“You guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone whoever opposes your agenda”, Kanye West wrote.

“If he wants to have any credibility as a commentator on social issues, let alone as a musician, maybe he can start by figuring out how to make a point without fomenting hatred of Jews”, the American Jewish Committee said in a statement.
