Kanye West appears to have thrown his support behind Palestine in its ongoing conflict with Israel during his second Vultures listening experience in China.
Kanye, who has come under intense criticism in recent years for his antisemitic views, reportedly displayed a photograph of an olive tree in Palestine before his show kicked off.
The picture originates from the First Intifada, a period of sustained protest against the Israeli occupation of Palestine between 1987 and 1993.
By the end of the period, 1,000 Palestinians had been killed including over 200 children, with the Israeli response to the protests and riots receiving much criticism, mainly due to the use of live ammunition by the army.

Kanye previously claimed that he did not know enough to comment on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
He told TMZ in February: “I don’t have enough information on that. I’m a straight up n-gga from the south side of Chicago. I don’t have enough information.
“There’s love for everybody but don’t pull me into that conversation. I got 14 kids dying every week in my city so talk to me about that.”
Kanye also used his concert in China to announce his next album which he says will be titled Bully.
In a clip shared on social media, the rapper could be making the announcement on stage, saying: “I got a new album coming out. The album is called Bully. And this song is called ‘Beauty and the Beast.'”
Ye then offered the audience a nearly two-minute long preview of the track, which features the line, “It’s been a long time coming” as part of the chorus.
The G.O.O.D. Music founder previously teased a song called “Preacher Man” at his first Vultures performance in China, confirming it would appear on his “next album.”
At the time, it was assumed that he was referencing Vultures 3, his planned collaborative project with Ty Dolla $ign, but now it seems Kanye may have meant Bully instead.
That show also saw Kanye and Ty perform a new track together which heavily samples Vanessa Carlton’s 2002 pop ballad “A Thousand Miles.”
News flash…”Palestine” never actually existed. Its just land they stole from the jhews in biblical times that was given back to them after world war 2. The arabs got Jordan. But nobody wants the Palestnians because they try to take over every land they occupy. As long as they keep hiding the hamas terrorists, they will keep getting bombed. Maybe if they snitch them out they might survive.
A long nosed person typed this
Russia, Israel, China, Iran, Pakistan, Japan, Germany, Rome…. And most well known, Britain all did/do this. What a dumbass comment you just made.
@Real Talk OG Biblical times is not a historic record. Any more than Mount Olympian times is. People who use fairy tales and fables to justify murderous, rapacious actions are the worst and dumbest people on earth.

ConYe need to rock a suicide belt and detonate himself onstage that way he can finally say he died sharing his bullshit ‘art’ with his retard fans💥💨👈
The album title “vultures” is appropriately dedicated to the fraudulent, non-credible, pathetic, corny, cringy, embarrassing, wannabe, stupid, laughable, lame, pitiful, garbage, retarded af DuncecapD/X SHIT staff who we all know are the ultimate culture “vultures”
Cool. Now show support for people who look like you and your parents.
No! There are not 14 kids dying a week here! More importantly you’re not even from here. When was the last time you were here? And you definitely weren’t in the streets. Keep the Chi’s name out your mouth.
