Broader "Positive" Changes in Early 2026 Beyond the individual case of Ye, there are other signals of a "counter-movement" designed to push back against the rise of antisemitism: The "Never Is Now" Momentum: The ADL is currently preparing for its major 2026 summit (slated for March), which has seen a massive surge in corporate sponsorship and celebrity backing (including figures like Montana Tucker and Gal Gadot) compared to previous years. The goal is to move beyond "monitoring" and toward "active allyship." The Rise of Non-Jewish Allies: A notable change in January 2026 is the "New Year, New Voices" campaign, where non-Jewish celebrities (such as Cindy Crawford and Hayden Panettiere) are leading the messaging. This marks a shift away from Jews being the only ones talking about antisemitism, framing it instead as a universal "social health" issue. Legislative "Hard Lines": Following the Bondi Beach attack in late December, several countries, including Australia and the UK, have moved to fast-track laws that treat the public display of certain symbols and the incitement of antisemitic hatred with much higher criminal penalties, signaling that the "tolerance for intolerance" is narrowing. The Current Sentiment The response to Ye's apology is split. While some see it as a "PR move" ahead of his upcoming album Bully, others—including some Jewish advocacy groups—have expressed a cautious hope. The Campaign Against Antisemitism noted that while they are skeptical given his history, a public rejection of Nazi ideology by a figure with his reach is objectively better for the "global temperature" than his previous stance.

So far I am the guy, that one and only and love him or hate him, he stands proudly at the edge of the galaxy, he reveals things and then lifts off like superman into a void.

Even if you are doing Jew's wrong, imagine that we are fighting for you though you are fighting against us. We are not just the canaries in the coal mine, we are the front line against tyrants.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day Share January 27 The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. As we are witnessing an alarming rise of antisemitism around the globe, it is more important than ever for us to recognize the critical lessons of Holocaust history as we commemorate the victims and honor the survivors. How to Mark the Day At the Museum and other commemoration sites, we remember Holocaust victims by reading their names, by lighting candles, and by learning about the Holocaust. All of us can mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day by sharing the truth of the Holocaust and by confronting antisemitism and hate in our daily lives. Follow the Museum on Instagram to learn more about the experiences of Holocaust victims and survivors.
