Documented record

• June 11, 2020: On June 11, 2020, Ice Cube tweeted an image of a Star of David with a black cube at its center followed by a series of "Black Cube of Saturn" photos from cities worldwide, imagery widely read as alleging a global web of Jewish control — two days after tweeting a 2012 London mural (once defended by Jeremy Corbyn) depicting hook-nosed bankers profiting off the backs of oppressed people, which had been condemned as antisemitic. What if I was just pro-Black? This is the truth brother. I didn't lie on anyone. I didn't say I was anti anybody. DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE. I've been telling my truth. Source 1 Source 2

Context and response

Ice Cube denied antisemitic intent, framing the posts as "pro-Black" commentary and insisting he wasn't "anti anybody"; he did not apologize, retract, or delete the images when challenged by Marc Lamont Hill and Roxane Gay, among others.

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: We don't stand behind artists who post "global Jewish control" conspiracy imagery and dig in rather than take it down.
