With a dearth of celebrities speaking out against antisemitism in any meaningful way beyond platitudes, Seán Ono Lennon, the son of the legendary John Lennon and Yoko Ono, has stepped up to the plate trying to educate his hundreds of thousands of followers as to the dangers of Jew hatred:
A surprising number of people don’t even know that more hate crimes are committed against Jews than any other minority group. Racism in all forms is abhorrent and must be condemned. I don’t know if Ye truly understand how dangerous and evil his words were. pic.twitter.com/Gh7e4ge3O7

Note he did not just publish some meme saying he stands against antisemitism and all racism. He showed how antisemitism in particular is a real problem, with there being more hate crimes against Jews than any other group in the US.
What’s more, he criticized Kanye West, someone he clearly has admired:
I have to just acknowledge that Ye broke all our hearts big time. At least those who ever cared about him at all. It’s hard to just go on with everything as if we’re not mourning this person. I still hope he gets help.
